Investigating the Factors Affecting Energy Consumption in the Iranian Agricultural Sector Using Parametric and Nonparametric Methods
Abstract In order to study energy consumption in Iran's agricultural sector, a Genetic algorithm concept was used to calculate significant factors affecting energy consumption between 1974 and 2008. Then, durability or "stability" of variables was assessed through econometric method (Augmented Dickey-Fuller test). In addition, long-term and short-term relationships of energy consumption were es...
متن کاملBest-practice benchmarking using clustering methods: Application to energy regulation
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is widely used as a benchmarking tool for improving productive performance of decision making units (DMUs). The benchmarks produced by DEA are obtained as a sideproduct of computing efficiency scores. As a result, the benchmark units may differ from the evaluated DMU in terms of their input–output profiles and the scale size. Moreover, the DEA benchmarks may oper...
متن کاملEvaluating the scope for energy-efficiency improvements in the public sector: Benchmarking NHSScotland’s smaller health buildings
The National Health Service in Scotland (NHSScotland) has, in recent years, done much to reduce energy consumption in its major healthcare buildings (hospitals). On average, a reduction of 2% per year has been achieved since 2000, based on hospital buildings. However, there had been little or no attention paid to smaller premises such as health centres, clinics, dentists, etc. Such smaller heal...
متن کاملBenchmarking Energy Use in Schools
Local governments across the United States spent approximately $5 billion, an average of $100 million per state, on energy for their public schools in 1992. This represents a tremendous drain on education dollars of which part (captured through building system and operational efficiency improvements) could be directed toward more important educational needs. States and local governments know th...
متن کاملBenchmarking the fairness of health sector reform in the Philippines
Introduction The Benchmarks of Fairness framework was conceived in the United States of America at the beginning of the 1990s to evaluate planned health insurance reforms. It is now used to evaluate the fairness of health sector reforms (Daniels et al. 2000, 2005) and several developing countries have already used it to strengthen their capacity to assess health-care reforms. In the context of ...
