Landfill mining: space saving, material recovery and energy use

Lighting Energy-saving Optimization Model and Simulation of Living Space

Green building is a new building system which based positive cycle of ecological system, green economy, energy-saving society and green technology. [2] The pattern of green building is an important research of architecture style in the present society. The energy-saving in illumination system is an important pattern in energy-saving field and is of great significance. Illumination system is a t...

Characterization of Landfill Sites in Brazil for Landfill Gas Recovery

An image-space energy-saving visualization scheme for OLED displays

Current energy-saving color design approaches can be classified into two categories, namely, context-aware dimming and color remapping. The former darkens individual regions with respect to the user interactions, and the latter replaces the color set with a new color set that yields lower energy consumption. Both schemes have drawbacks: color dimming tends to cause loss of perceptual quality, a...

Double skin glass façade and its effect on saving energy

One of the most important methods of saving energy and providing indoor comfort conditions of buildings is the careful design of the façades. A “double skin glass façade” is optimally one of the best options that control the heat interaction between indoor and outdoor spaces. Two kinds of heating energy is usually transmitted through exterior envelope “conduction” and “radiation”. Double skin g...

Herbivore space use influences coral reef recovery

Herbivores play an important role in marine communities. On coral reefs, the diversity and unique feeding behaviours found within this functional group can have a comparably diverse set of impacts in structuring the benthic community. Here, using a spatially explicit model of herbivore foraging, we explore how the spatial pattern of grazing behaviours impacts the recovery of a reef ecosystem, c...
