Conceptual framework for implementing energy-efficient technologies into construction

A Conceptual Framework for Implementing E-Learning Technologies in Rural Settings

This research work intends to develop a conceptual framework for effective implementation of elearning technology in the rural settings. E-learning is a form of computer mediated teaching and learning pedagogy that utilizes electronic media, such as web/internet, television, consumer devices and distributed resources to improve the quality of teaching and learning. This kind of teaching and lea...

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF ENERGY-EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES: POTENTIAL FOR INPUT-OUTPUT AND SUPPLY-CHAIN ANALYSES IN IRAN

Energy Efficient Storage Technologies for Data Centers

An impressive amount of work has been done to date on improving the electrical efficiency of various data center components. The data storage industry has begun to see the fruits of this effort, with increased power supply and fan efficiencies. However, storage presents other significant opportunities for energy conservation, through various types of capacity optimization, that are not captured...

A Framework for Implementing Sustainable Construction in Building Briefing Project

The current demand for economically viable buildings in the Saudi Public Sector is coupled with the need to maximise the efficient use of Saudi Arabian natural resources. The lack of consideration paid to sustainability issues during the conceptual phase has resulted in higher consumption of materials and energy during both the construction and operational phases of many building projects. This...

Building a Comprehensive Conceptual Framework for Power Systems Resilience Metrics

Recently, the frequency and severity of natural and man-made disasters (extreme events), which have a high-impact low-frequency (HILF) property, are increased. These disasters can lead to extensive outages, damages, and costs in electric power systems. A power system must be built with “resilience” against disasters, which means its ability to withstand disasters efficiently while ensuring the ...
