Energy Complex

The fuel-energy complex and the construction industry are ones of the main sources of environment pollution. The main man-made emissions have been analyzed, and calculations of buildings’ energy consumption have been presented in this paper. To assess the contribution of construction technologies in environmental issues it has been proposed the following criteria: total energy consumption; emissions of polluting substances in the biosphere; natural resources consumption.

Construction industry is well known as the major source of environmental issues while public awareness has raised upon time due to significant impacts due environmental problems. Project refurbishment has raised as one of the solutions to reduce the environmental problems as it reuses and recycles existing building by carry out adequate renovation and refurbishment to make the old or abandoned building reusable again. However, there are consent on the factors such as the impacts of additional floor area and design of opening onto overall energy consumption in refurbished buildings.A qualitative method has been employed in this study where a total of 5 respondents who are working in Pulau Pinang refurbishment projects.From the results, design of opening is agreed as the main contributor to total energy consumption in refurbished building while factor of additional floor area merelygain agreement from respondents. This study has the novelty in the context of refurbishment project in Pulau Pinang asit can be a useful guideline to the designers or practitioners who are designing refurbishment projects for historical city such as Georgetown and Malacca.

The objective of this work is to decrease energy consumption of the aeration system at a mid-size conventional wastewater treatment plant in the south of Sweden where aeration consumes 44% of the total energy consumption of the plant. By designing an energy optimised aeration system (with aeration grids, blowers, controlling valves) and then operating it with a new aeration control system (dissolved oxygen cascade control and most open valve logic) one can save energy. The concept has been tested in full scale by comparing two treatment lines: a reference line (consisting of old fine bubble tube diffusers, old lobe blowers, simple DO control) with a test line (consisting of new Sanitaire Silver Series Low Pressure fine bubble diffusers, a new screw blower and the Flygt aeration control system). Energy savings with the new aeration system measured as Aeration Efficiency was 65%. Furthermore, 13% of the total energy consumption of the whole plant, or 21 000 €/year, could be saved when the tested line was operated with the new aeration system.

Recovery Potential

The use of micro-hydropower (MHP) for energy recovery in water distribution networks is becoming increasingly widespread. The incorporation of this technology, which offers low-cost solutions, allows for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions linked to energy consumption. In this work, the MHP energy recovery potential in Spain from all available wastewater discharges, both municipal and private industrial, was assessed, based on discharge licenses. From a total of 16,778 licenses, less than 1% of the sites presented an MHP potential higher than 2 kW, with a total power potential between 3.31 and 3.54 MW. This total was distributed between industry, fish farms and municipal wastewater treatment plants following the proportion 51–54%, 14–13% and 35–33%, respectively. The total energy production estimated reached 29 GWh∙year−1, from which 80% corresponded to sites with power potential over 15 kW. Energy-related industries, not included in previous investigations, amounted to 45% of the total energy potential for Spain, a finding which could greatly influence MHP potential estimates across the world. The estimated energy production represented a potential CO2 emission savings of around 11 thousand tonnes, with a corresponding reduction between M€ 2.11 and M€ 4.24 in the total energy consumption in the country.

Greedy Scheduling

Data are presently being produced at an increased speed in different formats, which complicates the design, processing, and evaluation of the data. The MapReduce algorithm is a distributed file system that is used for big data parallel processing. Current implementations of MapReduce assist in data locality along with robustness. In this study, a linear weighted regression and energy-aware greedy scheduling (LWR-EGS) method were combined to handle big data. The LWR-EGS method initially selects tasks for an assignment and then selects the best available machine to identify an optimal solution. With this objective, first, the problem was modeled as an integer linear weighted regression program to choose tasks for the assignment. Then, the best available machines were selected to find the optimal solution. In this manner, the optimization of resources is said to have taken place. Then, an energy efficiency-aware greedy scheduling algorithm was presented to select a position for each task to minimize the total energy consumption of the MapReduce job for big data applications in heterogeneous environments without a significant performance loss. To evaluate the performance, the LWR-EGS method was compared with two related approaches via MapReduce. The experimental results showed that the LWR-EGS method effectively reduced the total energy consumption without producing large scheduling overheads. Moreover, the method also reduced the execution time when compared to state-of-the-art methods. The LWR-EGS method reduced the energy consumption, average processing time, and scheduling overhead by 16%, 20%, and 22%, respectively, compared to existing methods.
