sustainable architecture is known as an important strategy in recent years and all around the world are cooperating to achieve this by use of natural elements. there are many examples of residential buildings in iran s past and its traditional architecture that the architecture in the interim of paying attention to aesthetic issues and preserving the natural environment acts in a way that meets...

Due to their capacity improve energy consumption performance, intelligent applications have recently assumed a pivotal position in the management of public buildings. Because irregular patterns and lack design criteria for efficiency sustainability solutions, keeping these buildings’ under control is significant issue. As result, it important analyze building forecast future demands. Evidence l...

understanding and changing the energy consumption behavior requires extensive knowledge about the motives of behavior. in this research, rough set theory is used to investigate the energy consumption behavior of employees in organizations. so, thirteen condition attributes and a decision attribute are selected and the decision system is created. condition attributes include demographic, values,...

Residential and commercial buildings are responsible for roughly 40 percent of U.S. energy consumption [1]. Within these types of buildings, space heating and cooling was responsible for roughly 36% of the energy consumption in 2005 [2]. Moreover, attributes of the building envelope have a large impact on this energy consumption, namely how much energy is needed to maintain comfortable room tem...

abstractthe reform of energy subsidies has affected economic growth, as a result of household and firms’ behavior. however, despite the energy consumption and economic growth decrease in the short run, it is expected that economic growth will increase as a result of an adjustment in economic agents’ behavior over the mid- and long-terms. as is appropriate with these changes, energy consumption ...

In Wireless Sensor Network commonly referred as WSN, the hubs or nodes are operated by batteries so that the energy utilization should be diminished, while fulfilling the given throughput and given requirement. The paper studies about the performance and energy consumption of cooperative MIMO and MIMO (multi input multi output) based communication. The average energy usage comprises circuit ene...

Advanced applications in the area of remote health monitoring can be realized by Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). This paper investigates the physical propagation channel at 2.45 GHz near real humans and presents an application for cross-layer design in order to optimize the energy consumption of single-hop and multi-hop network topologies. The characterization of the physical layer is an i...

the interactive effects of adjacent buildings on their seismic performance are not frequently considered in seismic design. the adjacent buildings, however, are interrelated through the soil during seismic ground motions. the seismic energy is redistributed in the neighboring buildings through multiple structure-soil-structure interactions (sssi). for example, in an area congested with many nea...
