In the European Union, only 1% of building stock is renovated every year. According to EU strategy, around 75% existing needs be by 2050. Energy efficiency programs mainly support residential and public stocks; this article considers military dormitories as a type unclassified building. It very important improve energy reduce consumption microclimate in these buildings, since staff there 24/7. ...

With the rapid and sharp rise in energy prices in Jordan, energy cost is becoming a value that cannot be ignored in the Jordan’s industrial sector. However, there are still many practices adopted in industry that do not take energy efficiency as a prime consideration, but rather focus on immediate and direct savings in materials and machinery. This study examines potential opportunities of elec...

The effect of heat-island reduction (HIR) strategies on annual energy savings and peak-power avoidance of the building sector of the Greater Toronto Area is calculated, using an hourly building energy simulation model. Results show that ratepayers could realize potential annual energy savings of over $11M from the effects of HIR strategies. The residential sector accounts for over half (59%) of...

Over time, miscellaneous electric loads (MELs) are expected to increase both in magnitude and share of residential commercial building energy consumption. This trend is most apparent North America, but it also occurring Japan Europe. However, the contribution MELs use not currently well understood, because products this category transforming rapidly definition classification ambiguous. study es...

As Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) power consumption continues to increase, lower power FPGA circuitry, architectures, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools need to be developed. Before designing low-power FPGA circuitry, architectures, or CAD tools, we must first determine where the biggest savings (in terms of energy dissipation) are to be made and whether these savings are cumulative. I...

Presented in this paper are energy-optimum reconfiguration strategies for channel codecs. These strategies are derived by solving an optimization problem, which has energy consumption as the objective function and a constraint on the bit error-rate ( ). Energy consumption models for a reconfigurable Reed-Solomon (RS) codec are derived via gate-level simulation of the finite field arithmetic mod...
