Increasing consumption of electricity due to a growing number of information and communication technology (ICT) appliances in households is a major challenge to reducing energy consumption. Several studies have predicted escalating ICT-related energy consumption, but relatively little has been said and done about possible initiatives to curb this increase. This paper presents results of a resea...

energy consumption has been essential to societies; because societies depend on the rising provisions of energy to meet their requirements for goods and services and endorse sustainable development. the major source of energy nowadays is oil; oil consumption is dependent on oil availability, production and price. several arab countries are considered as major suppliers of oil in the world; cons...

In recent years, the issue of energy consumption modeling techniques in the building sector has been widely considered by researchers and managers. Researches indicate that energy consumption in residential sector is one of the main parts of the total consumption. Moreover, the urban residence is supposed as a significant consumer of energy in every country and therefore a focus for energy cons...

the rice conversion process is an agricultural transformative industry that consumes a great deal of fossil fuel and electricity. in this study, the effect of different factors on energy consumption, energy consumption index and whitening index were investigated. the experimental design was a split plot design with four whitening periods (15, 30, 45, 60s) (main plot), three rice varieties (khaz...

There is a growing research interest in improving the energy efficiency of communication networks. In order to assess the impact of introducing new energy efficient technologies, an up-to-date estimate for the global electricity consumption in communication networks is needed. In this paper we consider the use phase electricity consumption of telecom operator networks, office networks and custo...

Manufacturing enterprises nowadays face the challenge of increasing energy price and emission reduction requirements. An approach to reduce energy cost and become environmental friendly is to incorporate energy consumption into consideration while making the scheduling plans. The research presented by this paper is set in a classical job shop circumstance, the model for the triple objectives pr...

This article focuses on the electricity industry and electricity consumption of population and industrial enterprises in Russia is analyzed. Economic factors that affect energy consumption are studied by the Vector Autoregression Analysis (VAR). The relationship between variables is defined by Granger test, and it also considers scenarios of reactions of electricity consumption on exogenous sho...
