Books by Keyword: Energy Efficiency

Description: This edition presents papers from the 1st International Conference on Material, Machines and Methods for Sustainable Development (MMMS 2018, 18-19 May 2018, Danang, Vietnam) that reflect the state-of-the-art in the field of materials sciences and mechanical engineering. The contents of manuscripts from authors representing universities, research institutes, and industrial companies demonstrate the results of the very wide spectrum of research, from micro-nano material design and processing to the application material, the mechanical engineering technology in the industry. The largest number of the papers answer the vital question of how to obtain the advanced properties and technologies required of final task and products by the way of the verifications and selections of the process and control parameters. Other important problems of new special materials are also covered by several researchers. A large group of papers focuses on material modeling as well as the material technologies processes and mechanical manufacturing.

Description:

The Green Factories in Bavaria bundle up the research skills of all relevant fields for energy efficient production, e.g. Mechanical Engineering/Manufacturing Technology, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, Process Engineering, Materials Science and Economic Science. They also consider all major types of energy, e.g. for motion, illumination, information processing, manufacturing processes and thermal control. Furthermore, Green Factories address the use of energy in production, logistics and administration. With the clear focus on energy efficiency in the production and Bavarian-wide, interdisciplinary collaboration, these Green Factories have to be expanded into an international research network.

Description: This volume is dedicated to the 120 th anniversary of the National Mining University (Dnipro, Ukraine) and designed for researchers and practitioners, students, postgraduates and university lecturers, as well as for anyone, who interested in energy conservation issues. In the case of coal fuels, as one of the main energy source, effective technologies for maintaining mining operations under difficult conditions are substantiated. The energy efficiency of coal gasification with the use of mining waste has been estimated, technical and technological means, as well as conditions for the introduction of the gas generator are proposed. In the aspect of the normalization of working conditions of miners, protective effectiveness of respiratory devices is established, taking into account the requirements of the European standard EN 529: 2006. The possibility of significant energy savings is demonstrated by the introduction of electric drives with group power from a conventional DC device with storage capacity.

Description: In this book, the latest results of the research project Green Factory Bavaria are published. The goal of this project is to develop new methods and technologies to increase the resource efficiency in manufacturing companies. Therefore, the energy and material consumption of many relevant production areas has been analyzed and suitable optimization measures have been proposed and evaluated.

Description: Тhis volume of scientific papers is dedicated to the 120th anniversary of the founding of the National Mining University of Ukraine (Dnipro, Ukraine). The book contains papers, which cover the solvation of urgent scientific problems of theoretical and methodological justification of factors, indices and directions of sustainable development of industrial territories on example of Ukrainian economy. The offered collection of scientific publications contains purposeful development of theoretical knowledge, methodical and practical approaches to the selection of tools and rational solutions and assessment of impact factors of internal and external environment on the effectiveness of enterprises activity for the justification of strategic directions of their functioning within of the paradigm of sustainable development of industrial regions.

With clear focus on energy efficiency in the production and Bavarian-wide, interdisciplinary collaboration, these Green Factories have to be expanded into an international research network. We hope that presented articles from  3rd Green Factory Bavaria Colloquium 2016 will be useful for many researchers and engineers for the development and operation of modern energy-efficient productions.

Description:

The E|Home-Symposium bundles research in the field of energy-efficient and self-determined living through intelligent automation technology. Although energy efficiency plays the major role due to the goal of the European Union and the Federal Government of Germany to transform the energy system to one that heavily uses renewable energies, challenges stemming from demographic change and user acceptance are also addressed.

The papers have their origin in various research disciplines such as computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, medical science or social science and usually provide insight into an interdisciplinary research methodology spanning various disciplines. Following this approach it becomes possible to develop technical sound as well as highly usable solutions that have a significant and immediate effect in the application area. The scope of the conference considers smart homes that contribute to the generation, storage and distribution of energy as well as concepts for residential environments that provide comfort, security, infotainment and medical support.

Description: This special topical volume on is aimed to cover the recent advancements and trends in the area of building materials with reference to energy efficiency and sustainable development. The volume will be of special interest to environmentally-minded producers of building materials and to engineers, architects and building professionals, but it may also be of use to readers and researchers who are interested in building construction but who lack specialist technical knowledge.

Description: Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2nd Green Factory Bavaria Colloquium 2015, September 30 - October 1, 2015, Nuremberg, Germany.
The 34 papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Energy Efficiency as an Element of a Strategy for Sustainable Production;
Chapter 2: Equipments and Technologies of Sustainable Production

Description: Construction is a major industry in all countries and great deal of natural resources are consumed in buildings. Buildings have a significant and continuously increasing impact on the environment since they are responsible for a large portion of carbon emissions and use a considerable number of resources. This special volume on ‘Materials and Construction Technologies for Sustainable Development’ contains Eleven chapters which address a wide range of issues pertaining to building materials with reference to energy efficiency. The volume will be of special interest to environmentally conscious engineers, producers of building materials, architects, building professional and it may also be useful to scientists and researchers.
