With energy resource scarcity and energy crisis in the world, energy efficiency has become a subject of great importance. In warm and humid climates as well as cold and mountainous ones, annual energy consumption is too high to achieve desirable living conditions in built environments, and hence energy efficiency measures and practices in such buildings is of utmost priority. Given the direct r...

Last level caches (LLCs) contribute significantly to processor power consumption. Saving LLC energy in multicore QoS systems is especially challenging, since aggressive energy saving techniques may lead to failure in providing QoS. We present MANAGER, a multicore shared cache energy saving technique for quality-of-service systems. Using dynamic profiling, MANAGER periodically predicts cache acc...

This paper extends the standard model of life cycle consumption, saving and labor supply in a number of directions. First, it argues that consumption should be defined as expenditure on household production as well as on market goods, that is, we are interested in life cycle profiles of full consumption. If this is done, several well-known puzzles concerning life cycle consumption behaviour are...

Solar energy is a renewable abundant throughout the year in tropical weather country like Malaysia. This paper investigates viability of using solar PV systems as cost-saving measure to supply electricity for Taylor’s University (TU) daily usage. Experimental values were compared with theoretical and analyzed this paper. In experiment, four photovoltaic (PV) panels connected parallel linked max...

Energy conservation and environmental protection are crucial to green development. This article distinguishes the relationship between electricity literacy, energy saving awareness information feedback. We found that i) literacy feedback negatively correlated with consumption, ii) there is a positive correlation consumption living area, household income, permanent resident population education ...

In the IEEE 802.16e system, we propose an efficient power saving mechanism that increases the unavailability interval when the mobile station (MS) uses multiple power saving classes(PSCs). Through the simulation results, we show that the proposed mechanism reduces the power consumption of MSs considerably compared with conventional mechanism.
