Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has become a major wireless technology for the Internet of Things (IoT). Recent efforts of academia, industry and standards development organizations have focused on creating BLE mesh network solutions. 6BLEMesh is a specification being developed by the IETF that defines an IPv6-oriented approach for BLE mesh networking. ...
To meet the rapid-growing demand for electricity in Kuwait, utility planners need to be informed on the energy consumption to implement energy efficiency measures to manage sustainable load growth and avoid the high costs of increasing generation capacities. The first step of forecasting the future energy profile is to establish a baseline for Kuwa...
Due to their high mobility, mobile robots (MR) are widely used in intelligent manufacturing. Due to the perfect symmetry of the MR of the three-wheeled moving chassis, it can move quickly in a crowded and complex factory environment. Because it is powered by a lithium battery, in order to improve its energy efficiency, we need to ensure that its po...
Recent open-data movements give access to large datasets derived from real-world observations. This data can be utilized to enhance energy systems modeling in terms of heterogeneity, confidence, and transparency. Furthermore, it allows to shift away from the common practice of considering average values towards probability distributions. In turn, h...
Forecasting the residential natural gas demand for large groups of buildings is extremely important for efficient logistics in the energy sector. In this paper different forecast models for residential natural gas demand of an urban area were implemented and compared. The models forecast gas demand with hourly resolution up to 60 h into the future....
Energy and life cycle cost analysis were employed to identify the most-cost effective ground envelope design for a greenhouse that employs supplemental lighting located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (45.4° / N). The envelope design alternatives that were investigated consist of installing insulation vertically around the perimeter and horizontally ...
© 2018, Tsinghua University Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. Buildings consume more than one-third of the world’s primary energy. Reducing energy use and greenhouse-gas emissions in the buildings sector through energy conservation and efficiency improvements constitutes a key strategy for achieving global energy and ...

The energy system is the primary source of air pollution. Thus, evolution of the energy system into the future will affect society's ability to maintain air quality. Anticipating this evolution is difficult because of inherent uncertainty in predicting future energy demand, fuel use, and technology adoption. We apply scenario planning to address th...

Buildings consume more than one-third of the world’s primary energy. Reducing energy use and greenhouse-gas emissions in the buildings sector through energy conservation and efficiency improvements constitutes a key strategy for achieving global energy and environmental goals. Building performance simulation has been increasingly used as a tool for...
Recent statistics of energy consumption by Cloud datacenter show the DCs consumes more and more energy each year .that crated big challenge in Cloud research. IT industry is keenly aware of the need for Green Cloud solutions that save energy consumption in Cloud DCs. A great deal of attention has been paid to minimize energy consumption in cloud da...
