The persistent heat nurtured buoyant demand for residual fuel oil and direct crude burning for power generation, as electricity consumption soared to meet air conditioning demand in the region.

为满足该地区的空调用电需求，电力消费大幅增长，持续的炎热带来了对用于发电的残渣燃料油和原油的强劲需求。

"This is becoming increasingly important, as excess power consumption is inefficient and generates waste heat, which can in turn decrease reliability," said Adams on his Web site.

“当过量的能耗不能增加效率，还会产生过热时，这会降低可靠性”，Adams在他的网站上说。

In order to provide heat for a house without power and fossil energy consumption, a solar thermal energy conversion system for house heating was designed and manufactured.

为了给房间提供热能而不消耗电力和常规能源，设计并制造了用于房屋取暖的太阳能热转换系统。

This is equally as important as raw speed, because heat and power consumption have a direct impact on performance and battery life.

So computer architects and researchers are working on new ways to bring PC heat and power consumption down--and improve performance in the process.

Rather than dwell on the old performance metric of speed, Otellini, in his first Intel Developer Forum speech as CEO, focused on power consumption and heat dissipation of semiconductors.
