in this study, the optimization of energy consumption and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of irrigated lentil production in esfahan province were conducted using data envelopment analysis (dea) method. the used data were collected randomly from 140 lentil producers using a face to face questionnaire method in the cropping season of 2014-2015. based on two dea models of constant returns to...

The basic developing objects of modern society are low carbon and energy saving. We must change the traditional high energy consuming building ways into modern novel energy saving buildings. In this paper, the development of modern building energy saving technology was reviewed and concluded. On this basis, designing ways and methods for energy saving system was proposed from the points of wall...

This paper discusses different possibilities to reduce primary energy consumption and CO2 emissions by increasing the energy efficiency of an integrated process plant. Firstly, possible opportunities for heat saving inside a mill were analyzed. After that, optional uses for the recovered amount of heat were identified. The effects of change were then evaluated. The primary evaluation criteria w...

One of the industries with high potential for energy saving is the petrochemical industry. Ethylene and propylene production plants (olefin plants) – as a part of the petrochemical industry – are very energy intensive. So, any try to improve their energy consumption efficiency could lead to a high amount of energy saving. Iran’s petrochemical industry uses old technologies and components and du...

This paper presents the energy saving methods and energy storage system to be required for the highly efficient cargo system in container terminal. The best proper method of energy saving is decided by the operation method of cargo handling system and the saving effect of this method is studied. The advantage and disadvantage of battery as energy saving system is studied. The battery in several...

Although there are numerous possibilities to save energy, conservation initiatives often do not tailor their content to the consumer. By considering energy conservation as a one-dimensional construct, where different behaviors have different execution difficulties, we have set out a Rasch-based energy recommender system that provides tailored conservation advice to its users. Through an online ...
