Bi level A lighting control strategy that provides two light levels - one at full-ON or at a high light level and one at a lower level. This may include turining off some portion of the lighting that unfiorm light level and distribution is maintained. In addition to the two ON settings, bi-level control may provide for full-OFF. Also known as bi-level switching. View None

Binary cycle Binary cycle geothermal power generation plants differ from Dry Steam and Flash Steam systems in that the water or steam from the geothermal reservoir never comes in contact with the turbine/generator units. Low to moderately heated (below 400¡F) geothermal fluid and a secondary (hence, "binary") fluid with a much lower boiling point that water pass through a heat exchanger. Heat from the geothermal fluid causes the secondary fluid to flash to vapor, which then drives the turbines and subsequently, the generators. Binary cycle power plants are closed-loop systems and virtually nothing (except water vapor) is emitted to the atmosphere. Resources below 400¡F are the most common geothermal resource, suggesting binary-cycle power plants in the future will be binary-cycle plants. View None
Biodiesel Biodiesel is made by converting natural oilsÑusually new or used vegetable oils and animal fatsÑinto usable liquid fuels. The fuel can be used in many engines or combustion appliances designed for diesel or no. 2 fuel oil. It is non-toxic and biodegradable. View None

Biomass Biomass refers to the combustion of solid biomass feedstocks, such as energy crops, agricultural crops, forestry residues, aquatic crops, biomass processing residues, municipal waste, and animal waste. Biomass can be used to power turbines that generate electricity or directly for heating. View None
Biomass This is used in association with GHG emissions, associated with biogenic fuels such as wood or biogas (captured methane). Biogenic fuels are combusted on-site but do not contribute to direct emissions. View None

Blade system A system comprised of a blade chassis and one or more removable blade servers and/or other units (e.g., blade storage, blade network equipment). Blade systems provide a scalable means for combining multiple blade server or storage units in a single enclosure, and are designed to allow service technicians to easily add or replace (hot-swap) blades in the field.

Blind A shading system that can be applied to the exterior, interior or between the glazing layers of a fenestration system, composed of adjustable horizontal elements. View None
