A systemic study for enhanced waste heat recovery and renewable energy integration towards decarbonizing the aluminium industry

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Réginald Germanier

The aluminium remelting industry relies on natural gas to transform recycled aluminium into aluminium feedstock, entailing significant atmospheric emissions. Hydric resources are also affected as they are used as sinks of waste heat from the casting proces ...

A Flexible In-Memory Computing Architecture for Heterogeneously Quantized CNNs

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, Alexandre Sébastien Julien Levisse, Marco Antonio Rios, Flavio Ponzina

Inferences using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are resource and energy intensive. Therefore, their execution on highly constrained edge devices demands the careful co-optimization of algorithms and hardware. Addressing this challenge, in this paper ...

Designing Energy-Efficient Façades to Meet Energy Transition Targets

Angela Clua Longas

The contemporary energy context can be considered as a period of energy transition, where the latest protocols focus on limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improving energy efficiency across the different energy consumption sectors. As the largest ...

EPFL2019

The focus and challenge for energy engineering in the context of rapid climate change is summarised by the Europe 20-20-20 targets, committing to a reduction in energy consumption of 20%. The most logical approach to achieve these goals is to target the mo ...
