in iran the mainstreaming tool for integrating environmental concerns into energy sector is an energy-environment review (eer-iran). this paper comprises: (i) an analysis of the current situation with regards to energy production and consumption; (ii) an evaluation of the growth prospects with regard to energy production and consumption; (iii) the identification of environmental issues induced ...

more than 50% of the global population already lives in urban settlements which are projected to absorb almost all the global population growth to 2050, amounting to some additional three billion people. over the next decades the increase in rural population in many developing countries will be overshadowed by population flows to cities. rural populations globally are expected to peak at a leve...

In recent years energy efficiency in different levels become of prime importance. Studies have been shown that urban planning can play a critical role in this area. At the same time in oil-producing countries like Iran, energy efficiency has not been considered as a national priority. However, in recent years with increase in the population growth, rapid urbanization and acceleration of environ...

In Europe, the integration of decentralized renewable energy production in regional planning processes plays a crucial role. In particular, regions face a major challenge in order to set up renewable decentralized energy systems and incorporate them into the electricity grid. This paper presents a methodological concept and preliminary tests of applications in order to create an optimization mo...

Green Capacity Planning is a holistic planning approach for today’s data centers that incorporates environmental considerations into traditional computer and network capacity planning. This paper presents the methodology, terminology, and practical application of the approach with a case study that evaluates the capacity, storage, and energy footprint of an existing eCommerce system. The case s...

the remarkable development of sciences and technologies in the world of]o today has apparently brought mankind comfort and well-being, but it has also created new problems for humans including environmental pollution, widespread changes in world weather conditions, etc. fossil fuels cause numerous environmental pollutions. in other words, on the one hand poisonous gases enter the environment fo...

18 The growing environmental awareness and the apparent conflicts between economic and 19 environmental objectives turn energy planning problems naturally into multi-objective 20 optimization problems. In the current study, mixed fuel combustion is considered as an option to 21
