A Profile of Biomass Stove Use in Sri Lanka
A large body of evidence has confirmed that the indoor air pollution (IAP) from biomass fuel use is a major cause of premature deaths, and acute and chronic diseases. Over 78% of Sri Lankans use biomass fuel for cooking, the major source of IAP in developing countries. We conducted a review of the available literature and data sources to profile biomass fuel use in Sri Lanka. We also produced t...
متن کاملEnergy Saving Targets
A total factor energy saving target ratio (ESTR) for seventeen APEC economies over 1991-2000 is computed in this paper. All nominal terms are transformed into real terms at the 1995 price level. The data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach is used to find the energy-saving target (EST) for APEC economies without reducing their maximum potential GDPs. Energy, labor, and capital are the three inp...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Energy Saving
Energy has become a scarce and expensive resource. There is a growing awareness in society that energy saving is a critical issue. This paper surveys algorithmic solutions to reduce energy consumption in computing environments. We focus on the system and device level. More specifically, we study power-down mechanisms as well as dynamic speed scaling techniques in modern microprocessors.
متن کاملSaving Energy in 1-D: Tailoring Energy-saving Advice Using a Rasch-based Energy Recommender System
Although there are numerous possibilities to save energy, conservation initiatives often do not tailor their content to the consumer. By considering energy conservation as a one-dimensional construct, where different behaviors have different execution difficulties, we have set out a Rasch-based energy recommender system that provides tailored conservation advice to its users. Through an online ...
متن کاملUncertainty and energy saving investments
Energy costs are notoriously uncertain but what is the effect of this on energysaving investments? We find that real-option frictions imply a novel equilibrium response to increasing but uncertain energy costs: early investments are cautious but ultimately real-option frictions endogenously vanish, and the activity affected by higher energy costs fully recovers. We use electricity market data f...
