Theoretically thermochromic glazing has the potential to reduce energy consumption in buildings by allowing visible light for day lighting, reducing unwanted solar gain during the cooling season, while allowing useful solar gain in the heating season. In this study building simulation is used to predict the savings made by novel thermochromic glazing coatings compared to standard products, for locations with different climates. The results suggest that thermochromic glazing can have a significant energy saving effect compared to current approaches.

The thermally coupled distillation configuration (TCDS) could reduce energy consumption and capital investment compared with conventional distillation sequences. But their use was still limited. The five kinds of conventional distillation sequences and five kinds of thermally coupled distillation sequences were performed in separation of quaternary mixtures with distillation rigorous simulations. The energy savings of a series of thermally coupled distillation sequences were compared. The results showed that the feed composition and ease of separation of the composition have great effect on the choice of the thermally coupled sequences. In the most cases, the TCDS with side rectifier or striper had the more energy saving effect.

Current consumption of cloud computing has attracted more and more attention of scholars. The research on Hadoop as a cloud platform and its energy consumption has also received considerable attention from scholars. This paper presents a method to measure the energy consumption of jobs that run on Hadoop, and this method is used to measure the effectiveness of the implementation of periodic tasks on the platform of Hadoop. Combining with the current mainstream of energy estimate formula to conduct further analysis, this paper has reached a conclusion as how to reduce energy consumption of Hadoop by adjusting the split size or using appropriate size of workers (servers). Finally, experiments show the effectiveness of these methods as being energy-saving strategies and verify the feasibility of the methods for the measurement of periodic tasks at the same time.

With the rapid development of data centers in smart cities, how to reduce energy consumption and how to raise economic benefits and network performance are becoming an important research subject. In particular, data center networks do not always run at full load, which leads to significant energy consumption. In this article, we focus on the energy-efficient routing problem in software-defined network–based data center networks. For the scenario of in-band control mode of software-defined data centers, we formulate the dual optimal objective of energy-saving and the load balancing between controllers. In order to cope with a large solution space, we design the deep Q-network-based energy-efficient routing algorithm to find the energy-efficient data paths for traffic flow and control paths for switches. The simulation result reveals that the deep Q-network-based energy-efficient routing algorithm only trains part of the states and gets a good energy-saving effect and load balancing in control plane. Compared with the solver and the CERA heuristic algorithm, energy-saving effect of the deep Q-network-based energy-efficient routing algorithm is almost the same as the heuristic algorithm; however, its calculation time is reduced a lot, especially in a large number of flow scenarios; and it is more flexible to design and resolve the multi-objective optimization problem.

In order to assess the human settlements situation of earth construction and analyse Environmental protection and energy saving effect of the earth construction's enclosure-construction, we choose Jinan's earth construction--adobe houses--to conduct the detection and analysis of energy saving and were based on the factual date to calculate enclosure-construction's heat transfer coefficient K and the actual energy consumption to analyses the influential factors of the energy consumption and determine the main part of the energy saving effect of energy consumption based on the Extensive research of the ecological environment and earth construction in Shandong province. The results show that the typical enclosure-structure with good heat saving capacity can maintain the indoor thermal stability. Through the calculation of heat retaining structure, we can know that the tested adobe house's energy consumption is larger than normal house. it suggested that the earth construction has the characteristics of better energy saving and environmental protection. seeing that the factual tested adobe house's lower intensity , bad decoration and imperfection ,we put forward the suitable earth buildings scheme of the construction of new countryside.

City highway tunnel ventilation design is one of the key processes in whole tunnel design. The ventilation design has important influence in ventilation sanitation effect, equipment investment, operations energy consumption and operations cost. On the premise of safety and sanitation, if city tunnel adopts natural ventilation, this can reduce energy consumption, construction cost and operations cost. Combining practical conditions of a project, this paper evaluated three kinds of mechanical ventilation, and analyzed contrastively economic efficiency of the natural ventilation and the jet longitudinal ventilation. At last drew the conclusion that the natural ventilation can reduce the total investment by 30% and has obvious energy-saving efficiency, then put forward the pertinent suggestions to the ventilation construction of highway tunnel.
