Reflecting intelligent surfaces (RIS) has gained significant attention due to its high energy and spectral efficiency in next-generation wireless networks. By using low-cost passive reflecting elements, RIS can smartly reconfigure the signal propagation to extend the wireless communication coverage. This letter proposes a new optimization scheme in...

The European Environment Agency predicts that the heatwaves will at least double between the first part of the century and the fifty last part. However, there is currently no standard European methods dealing with overheating. This study provides a review to understand the different regulations on overheating calculation methods for residential bui...

The centrifugal fans with radial blades are used in various industrial energy systems, associated with high dustiness, due to their self-cleaning ability and their reliable operation. Radial fans are used in cement, asphalt industries and various dust collection facilities. The uniqueness of the different working environment and the specifics of ea...

To reduce energy consumption of households, many appliances contain eco-settings, which when used, reduce energy consumption. However, the effectivity of the eco-settings in reducing energy consumption is hardly tested. Other design for sustainable behaviour strategies like coercion and feedback might be more effective. To test the effectivity of t...

Carbon emissions reduction and resource preservation targets dictate a global transition toward sustainability in all industries. However, achieving the required sustainability goals in the building sector is hindered by the current suboptimal awareness of sustainability in the market, particularly for residential buildings. A prime reason for the ...

The energy consumption of the building sector has heightened significantly in recent times owing to rapid global urbanization. Energy efficiency measures (EEM) may become a legal obligation for construction in years ahead. This study proposes the execution of Active Energy Efficiency Measures (AEEM) in a hospital building model evolved in energy si...

Autoclave curing is one of the most energy consuming processes in manufacturing carbon fibre reinforced polymers. In order to improve the energy efficiency, one needs to understand energy usage in an autoclave and factors that influence it. This work presents two thermodynamic based models for estimating energy consumption in an autoclave. The firs...

Today, most irrigation systems consume energy and a large part use groundwater at rates higher than the aquifer recharge, thus forcing farmers to pump at ever lower levels (more energy consumption, and thus higher cost). The energy consumption of irrigation systems is mainly considered as a technical challenge with the objective to improve its perf...

Drinking water treatment systems (DWTSs) are energy intensive facilities, and are an example of the water-energy nexus. Benchmarking energy efficiency is a valuable tool for improving the economic and environmental performance of such facilities. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is typically used to assess efficiency, allocating flexible weights (FS...
