The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires EU member states to establish a methodology for calculating the energy performance of buildings within a framework that includes the effect of active and passive solar systems as well as other c ...
ABSTRACT : The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires EU member states to establish a methodology for calculating the energy performance of buildings within a framework that includes the effect of active and passive solar systems as well ...
In 1998, the Board of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology established the challenging vision of the 2000 W society. The goal is to reach, for Switzerland by the year 2050, an energy intensity target of 2000 Wyear/year/cap. Referring to a present inte ...
We propose methods for reducing the energy consumed by snoop requests in snoopy bus-based symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) systems. Observing that a large fraction of snoops do not find copies in many of the other caches, we introduce JETTY, a small, cache-l ...
The development of techniques and companies is leading to an increase in performance and a decrease in the cost of products. This double development causes an increase in the sensitivity of technical systems, both from the point of view of the level of dis ...
A method is presented to predict fatigue life which explicitly accounts for specimen specific damage histories and the statistical distribution of quasi-static tensile strengths. First a 'critical element' is identified as that portion of the composite whi ...
Process integration methods allow one optimizing industrial processes. The main goals are decreasing energy demand and operating costs as well as reduction of pollutants emissions. High fuel costs promote installations of heat pumps. In a heat pump process ...
We present a percolation based model which is suitable for the design of sensors based on highly ordered nanogap arrays. Monte-Carlo simulations and analytical expressions are used to calculate the sensitivity and dynamic range as a function of the topolog ...
A method for the analysis of process energy requirements has been used to identify in an early design stage the potential process retrofit measures in an integrated pulp and paper mill. The minimum energy requirements (MER) of the process were computed by ...
A computer system for the promotion of the rational use of energy in the industry has been developed. It combines the PINCHLENI software developed by the LENI (Laboratory of industrial Energy Systems) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Lausanne) ...
