Economy-wide energy efficiency using a comprehensive decomposition method

The Employment Impacts of Economy-wide Investments in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency

City-wide Building Energy Efficiency Assessment Using EPC Data

The UK EPC scheme was established in 2007 as a response to the European Union Directive 2002/91/EC (Council of the European Union 2002), which aims to promote improvements on building energy efficiency and requires member states to develop their own scheme of evaluating and labelling the energy performance of buildings (UK Government 2007; Department for Communities and Local Government 2014b)....

Assessing the Importance of Energy Sector Using the Expanding Extraction Method: Iranian Economy

In this paper, the Expanding extraction method of Dietzenbacher & Lahr (2013) is used and in the form of Input-Output general equilibrium model. The article assesses and evaluates the importance of the energy sector and its sub-sections in the Iranian economy based on Iranian input-output table of 2017 that is updated by RAS approach. In this way, the 10% reduction in the supply of coal, crude ...

Decomposition of particle energy spectra using the principal component method

When studying the particle energy spectra, particles with different energies are counted within the respective energy intervals. Also, in this case counting is performed during long time intervals so that large enough count numbers are obtained. A considerable fraction of temporal variations and thus the important information contained in them will be lost. For example, the variance pattern con...

A Comprehensive Energy-Efficiency Comparison for Different Optical Transport Architectures

Reducing the Internet power consumption will become a challenging issue, since the Internet is expected to face a high growth in terms of traffic requirements. Simply scaling the network architecture, thus increasing its energy consumption, proportionally to this growth would not be a practical solution. Various energy-efficient approaches have been considered, typically consisting in a dual-la...

Bank efficiency evaluation using a neural network-DEA method

In the present time, evaluating the performance of banks is one of the important subjects for societies and the bank managers who want to expand the scope of their operation. One of the non-parametric approaches for evaluating efficiency is data envelopment analysis(DEA). By a mathematical programming model, DEA provides an estimation of efficiency surfaces. A major problem faced by DEA is that...
