Energy Conservation in Building
The building sector accumulates approximately a third of the final energy consumption. Consequently, the improvement of the energy efficiency in buildings has become an essential instrument in the energy policies to ensure the energy supply in the mid to long term moreover is the most cost-effective strategy available for reducing carbon dioxide emissions This paper is studying the main objecti...
متن کاملDeveloping a Conceptual Framework of Integrity in Urban Heritage Conservation
The concept of integrity, as a factor of sustaining values and significance of cultural heritage, is considered to be a key element in the process of urban heritage conservation. Review and analysis of documents, conventions and theories concerning the role of integrity in urban heritage conservation shows that in recent decades, the concept of integrity has attracted attention worldwide in the...
متن کاملA Framework for Quantifying the Impact of Occupant Behavior on Energy Savings of Energy Conservation Measures
To improve energy efficiency—during new buildings design or during a building retrofit—evaluating the energy savings potential of energy conservation measures (ECMs) is a critical task. In building retrofits, occupant behavior significantly impacts building energy use and is a leading factor in uncertainty when determining the effectiveness of retrofit ECMs. Current simulation-based assessment ...
متن کاملEnergy Conservation for Servers
Introduction Power management has been thoroughly studied for applications running on battery-powered platforms [3,5]. We take the position that power management is equally important for server environments, where high performance and reliability have traditionally been the most important design and evaluation factors. This position breaks with tradition and argues for considering energy consum...
متن کاملMotivating energy suppliers to promote energy conservation
We examine the design of regulatory policy to induce electric utilities to deliver the surplus-maximizing level of energy efficiency services, e∗. The rebound effect (whereby increased energy efficiency stimulates the demand for energy) typically renders revenue decoupling insufficient in this regard. The additional financial incentive required to induce e∗ is shown to vary with such factors as...
