The present study investigates the effectiveness of thermostat control strategy in cooling energy consumption in residential buildings. To evaluate the energy consumption, two scenarios including a residential zone with and without the thermostat control system are assumed. The TRNSYS software provides an efficient numerical tool to model and evaluate a cooling system. Furthermore, since solar-...

—As the increasing number of access devices, and the complex and changeful of access site and the media, energy consumption of power distribution communication access networks is expected to further grow in the future, energy saving has become a key issue with the development of Passive Optical Networks (PONs). In this paper, we propose a Software Defined Distribution Optical Network (SD-DON) ...

a preliminary design of a polygeneration system (combined cooling-heating-power plant with a desalination unit), is proposed for a tourist resort located on the spanish coast. the well-known trigenerationconcept is enhanced to the included production of desalted water, considering for the purpose three different options: reverse osmosis (rodp), multi-effect (medp) and a combination of rodp and ...

as the main actor of implementing energy saving and pollution abatement, corporations and their response to the policy are studied in this paper. we find that corporate properties as scale, ownership, current environmental performance on energy using and pollution, target market and listed situation have impact on the corporate responding conduct and progress. especially, current environmental ...

the increasing needs for energy, its high price and its environmental impact on greenhouse gases emission and limited energy resources due to increased research on energy balance in crop production systems. the objective of this research was to compare seedbed preparation and sowing methods in wheat production in kordkoy region with respect to energy use and efficiency. fifteen wheat fields wer...

cement production is an energy-intensive process, so that the cement industry occupies a top position among other energy-consuming industries. among the equipment used in cement industries, boilers are one of the energy-consuming equipment. boilers are among the common heating equipment in industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. in this paper, the performance of thermal oil boiler...
