Abstract:

Thermal improvement of traditional and historic buildings is going to play a crucial role in the achievement of established carbon emission targets. The suitable retrofit options for traditional buildings are, however, very limited and their long term performance is still uncertain. Evaluation of risks, prior to any alteration of building physics, is critical to avoid future damage to the fabric or occupants’ health. Moisture dynamics in building envelopes are affected by the enclosure’s geometry, materials properties and external and internal boundary conditions. Since the internal boundary i

Abstract:

En France, le secteur du bâtiment est le plus grand consommateur d'énergie et représente environ 43% de la consommation totale d'énergie. L'isolation thermique dans le bâtiment est nécessaire afin d'améliorer son efficacité énergétique. Dans certains pays dont la France, la rénovation des bâtiments occupe une place essentielle dans la stratégie de transition énergétique. La stratégie mise en place consiste donc à renforcer l'isolation thermique des enveloppes de bâtiment et ceci en perdant le moins de surface habitable possible. Ceci justifie le fait de développer et de mettre en œuvre à l'ave

This study focuses on the hygrothermal performance of Moso bamboo. The knowledge in this aspect is remarkable important for the research of building energy saving and the low carbon building design. However, the detailed hygrothermal properties of Moso bamboo are fairly rare. To obtain these data, a series of experimental works have been done for measurement of density, porosity, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, water vapour permeability, hygrothermal expansion and sorption isotherm of Moso bamboo.

Abstract:

The static and fatigue properties of advanced epoxy-based composites reinforced with carbon, glass or aromatic polyamide (Kevlar-49) fibres have been measured for a range of different loading and environmental conditions. Cross-plied laminates were tested in tension in the 0/90 and +/-45° orientations and also under flexural loading. The laminates were similar, except for the type of fibre. The effects of environmental exposure were assessed by preconditioning test specimens to equilibrium by either drying at 60°C, storage at 65%RH at ambient temperature or boiling in water.

The need for efficient, sustainable, and planned utilization of resources is ever more critical. In the U.S. alone, buildings consume 34.8 Quadrillion (1015) BTU of energy annually at a cost of $1.4 Trillion. Of this energy 58% is utilized for heating and air conditioning. Several building energy analysis tools have been developed to assess energy demands and lifecycle energy costs in buildings. Such analyses are also essential for an efficient HVAC design that overcomes the pitfalls of an under/over-designed system. DOE-2 is among the most widely known full building energy analysis models.

In many studies efforts are made to decrease the energy consumption of trains by optimizing their drive style, e.g. accelerate and brake optimally and regenerate electricity when braking. In other studies the goal is to distribute the run time between stations in an optimal way to decrease the energy consumption, given a relatively simple drive style. In this report the goal is to combine these two energy saving methods to obtain as low energy consumption as possible.

Abstract:

Geothermal energy is an important source of clean and renewable energy. This project deals with the study of deep geothermal power plants for the generation of electricity. The design involves the extraction of heat from the Earth and its conversion into electricity. This is performed by allowing fluid deep into the Earth where it gets heated due to the surrounding rock. The fluid gets vaporized and returns to the surface in a heat pipe. Finally, the energy of the fluid is converted into electricity using turbine or organic rankine cycle (ORC). The main feature of the system is the employment

Energy efficiency is an important challenge in the field of High Performance Computing (HPC). High energy requirements not only limit the potential to realize next-generation machines but are also an increasing part of the total cost of ownership of an HPC system. While at large HPC systems are becoming increasingly energy proportional in an effort to reduce energy costs, interconnect links stand out for their inefficiency. Commodity interconnect links remain ¿always-on¿, consuming full power even when no data is being transmitted. Although various techniques have been proposed towards energy-

Abstract:

The scaling of MOS transistors into the nanometer regime opens the possibility for creating large Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures containing hundreds of integrated processing elements with on-chip communication. NoC architectures, with structured on-chip networks are emerging as a scalable and modular solution to global communications within large systems-on-chip. NoCs mitigate the emerging wire-delay problem and addresses the need for substantial interconnect bandwidth by replacing today’s shared buses with packet-switched router networks. With on-chip communication consuming a significan

Abstract:

Software developers are faced with several challenges when creating applications for the new generation of mobile devices. Smartphones and tablets have limited processing power and memory resources, and a small battery is the only thing that keeps the hardware components running. End users have little patience for slow applications that drain the batteries of their devices. To satisfy the needs of their customers, developers must take these hardware limitations into account; they must make an effort to optimize the performance and energy efficiency of their applications. This thesis provides a
