COMPARISON ON ENERGY SAVING: GREEN ROOF AND GREEN WALL

Energy saving performance of green vegetation on LEED certified buildings

Sustainable building practices can considerably reduce building’s environmental impact in energy consumption. Covering a building envelope with green vegetation, such as green roof and green wall, is considered a sustainable construction practice, as green vegetation has a positive performance in energy savings. It reduces heat flux and solar reflectivity, generates evaporative cooling, increas...

Improving Air-Conditioners’ Energy Efficiency Using Green Roof Plants

Palette: A Cache Leakage Energy Saving Technique for Green Computing

With each CMOS technology generation, leakage energy has been increasing at an exponential rate. Since modern processors employ large last level caches (LLCs), their leakage energy consumption has become an important concern in modern chip design. To address this issue, several techniques have been proposed. However, most of these techniques require offline profiling and hence, cannot be used i...

Energy Saving with ICT -- Green University of Tokyo Project --

Energy saving and the protection of environment for sustainable society is now global agenda, that we must achieve for the next generation and for our Earth. This activity around IT and ICT industry is called as “Green IT/ICT”. Though the most of the Green IT/ICT would focus on the energy saving “of” IT/ICT equipments, we are focusing on the energy saving “by” IT/ICT technologies. The real targ...

Comparison of Traditional and Green Building Designs in Egypt: Energy Saving

This paper describes in details a commercial green building that has been designed and constructed in Marsa Matrouh, Egypt. The balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment has been taken into consideration in the design and construction of this building. The building consists of one floor with 3 m height and 2810 m2 area while the envelope area is 1400 m2. The building construc...
