In modern energy aware buildings, lighting control systems are put in place so to maximise the energy-efficiency of
the lighting system without effecting the comfort of the occupant.
In many cases this involves utilising ...
The commonly used Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) on the Internet has
remained unchanged for many years at around 1500 bytes due mainly to
backward compatibility issues. This is in contrast with link data rate,
which has ...
The European Union’s (EU) Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) aims to increase the
energy performance (EP) of buildings by requiring EU Member States to develop an EP calculation
methodology and to certify ...
There is a trend towards reducing heating and cooling requirements of buildings by using high levels of
insulation, minimizing thermal bridging, and ensuring excellent air tightness, together with the operation of ...
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) obligates EU member states to develop a reliable methodology capable of calculating and certifying the energy performance (EP) of their building stock. In this paper, ...
Increases in fuel and feed prices are placing a significant
burden on the poultry industry in Ireland and worldwide. For producers to meet
their financial targets, increased performance and output is a key issue, now
more ...
Modern office buildings are fully equipped and furnished spaces with arrangements including networked business equipment, such as PC-class machines, copiers, wireless routers and fax machines, and other electrical equipment ...
Sensor network MAC protocols typically sacrifice packet latency to achieve energy efficiency. Such delays may well increase due to routing protocol operation. For this reason it is imperative that we attempt to quantify ...
Sensing, monitoring and actuating systems are expected to play a key role in reducing buildings overall energy consumption. Leveraging sensor systems to support energy efficiency in buildings poses novel research challenges ...
