Areas/Paper type – 08. Integration of renewable energy in the built environment, Methodology Background – Today’s simulation technology in engineering and architecture are very impressive. As a result technology developers have a good idea of the resulting ...
In the past decades the portion of the population living in urban areas has continuously increased. Due to the high building density, the microclimate in urban areas changed significantly compared to rural areas. The temperatures measured in urban areas ar ...

Today, energy saving is one of the main objectives for engineers. In the case of mobile applications, energy can be saved by two different ways: decreasing the total masse of the system and increasing the efficiency of the overall system. This paper presen ...
We study the energy consumptions of two strategies that increase the capacity of an LTE network: (1) the deployment of redundant macro and micro base stations by the operator at locations where the traffic is high, and (2) the deployment of publicly access ...
An urban energy system model processing GIS data, which is called EnerGIS, has been developed at the IPESE group. In order to both reuse this model for further applications and to develop new concepts, the focus of this project lies on the refinement of th ...
An extension of approximate computing, significance-based computing exploits applications' inherent error resiliency and offers a new structural paradigm that strategically relaxes full computational precision to provide significant energy savings with min ...

In this dissertation I examine the emergent phenomenon of social entrepreneurship through the lens of the structure of entrepreneurial payoffs under conditions of near-Knightian uncertainty. Current theory assumes entrepreneurs will respond to a new form o ...
Today, energy saving is one of the main objectives for engineers. In the case of mobile applications, energy can be saved by two different ways. First, decreasing the total masse of the system, and second, increasing the efficiency of the overall system. T ...
A new procedure for benchmarking analysis has been developed to evaluate the energy efficiency of a chemical process. Benchmarking is performed to identify process inefficiencies before developing energy enhancement measures. The new procedure combines typ ...
We study the impact of deployment of low cost, low power micro base stations along with macro base stations on energy consumption and capacity of downlink LTE. We add three important elements to the existing studies: a traffic layer analysis that take both ...
