A first order assessment was performed to evaluate the tradeoffs involved in transportation mode choice. A total of six potential modes of transportation were evaluated, including a midsize car, hybrid car, motor scooter, city bus, bicycle, and foot. Each mode of transportation was evaluated for energy use, cost, convenience, and health and safety implications. It was concluded that there is no single...
Next generation data centers must be designed to meet service level agreements (SLAs) for application performance while reducing costs and environmental impact. Traditional design approaches are manually intensive and must integrate thousands of components at multiple granularities, often with conflicting goals. We propose an automated data center synthesizer to design sustainable data centers that...
This study aims to investigate the new strategy implement by charactering current urban industrial metabolism and identify the impacts of the mentioned strategy after 4-year implement, as well as give some policy suggestion. Suzhou city, as a major manufacturing center with per capital GDP over 10000 USD was chosen as our case, there were 2 National Circular Economy Pilot Units (Industrial parks)...
In this paper, we describe an integrated design and management approach to creating a sustainable IT ecosystem: a physical infrastructure where information technology has been seamlessly interwoven to improve environmental efficiency while achieving lower cost. Specifically, we describe five principles to achieve such integration: ecosystem-scale life-cycle design; scalable and configurable resource...
