Towards Building Energy Efficiency for DevelopingCountries
ISSN 2277 5056 | © 2013 Bonfring Abstract--Buildings account for 42 percent of world energy consumption, therefore the rising trend of making buildings more energy efficient is smart business with assists to make local market jobs and added benefits to the environment, even though the main inspiration for energy efficiency initiatives always been energy cost savings, government incentives and i...
متن کاملEnergy efficiency in a building complex through seasonal storage of thermal energy in a confined aquifer
Confined aquifers are formations surrounded by impermeable layers called cap rocks and bed rocks. These aquifers are suitable for the seasonal storage of thermal energy. A confined aquifer was designed to meet the cooling and heating energy needs of a residential building complex located in Tehran, Iran. The annual cooling and heating energy needs of the buildings were estimated to be 8.7...
متن کاملMultivariate Methods for Evaluating Building Energy Efficiency
For an owner or operator of a building, benchmarking can be a useful guide for finding out how energy efficient the building is and identifying what to improve. For successful evaluation of the building energy efficiency, the categorization as well as the parameter identification has decisive importance. That selection can be based on mathematical modeling such as linear regression accompanied ...
متن کاملTowards Energy-Efficiency in Selfish, Cooperative Networks
Cooperative communication has been proven effective in enhancing the performance of wireless networks, and a variety of techniques have been investigated to exploit the spatial diversity gain to provide reliable physical layer communications with multiple quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. In this paper, we propose an adaptive multi-relay selection with power allocation mechanism to offer e...
متن کاملEnergy Efficiency: An Engineering Pathway towards Sustainability
Today global warming, climate change and energy supply are of greater concern as it is widely realized that the planet earth does not provide an infinite capacity for absorbing human industrialization in the 21 century. The aim of this paper is to analyze upstream and downstream electricity production in selected case studies: a coal power plant, a pump system and a microwave oven covering and ...
