About a year ago the authors together with another colleague were commissioned by De La Salle University to conduct an energy audit on two buildings in campus. This paper discusses one of the areas that were covered in the energy audit which is the electrical lighting. It discusses the result of the audit and the recommendations made as well as the result of the implementation of the recommendations.
Based on the research of traditional assessment structure and informatization, we propose a novel five-unit assessment structure. It includes data state unit, index system unit, assessment system unit, results feedback unit, management services unit. This paper describes the content of five-unit assessment structure. Compared to traditional assessment structure, the five-unit assessment structure...
Economic and environmental reasons stimulated people to build low energy houses all over the world. In order to study this kind of buildings, adapted to the Romanian climatic conditions, a new project was developed by the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest. The present paper deals with the presentation of the passive house build within the campus of University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest and with the...
Energy Efficiency is one of the main focuses of research in Electrical Engineering at the present time. Lighting system carries a considerable amount of the total electricity usage in buildings. Hence researchers have been continuously thriving to achieve better efficiency in lighting, which means maintaining optimum lighting conditions using as less energy as possible. Using energy efficient lamps...
The multimedia technology has been applied in various areas and obtains huge achievements. To develop traditional sports education, some existing problems are summarized in this paper. As well we proposed several novel ideas to built multimedia courses in order to improve the quality of education. The application of novel technology should change the traditional education model. Then the influence...
Assessment is a crucial component of learning. Assessment activity is practical not only in formal learning, but also in view of employability and further lifelong training activities. In light of trends toward increased requirements for skilled workers, Web-based assessment presents today many challenges; It should address students' real performance in life. This paper considers the Competence-Based...
Despite having a large number of speakers, Sorani — one of the two principle branches of the Kurdish language — is among the less-resourced languages. This paper reports on the outcomes of a project aimed at providing the essential resources for processing Sorani texts. The primary output of this project is Pewan, the first standard Test Collection to evaluate Sorani Information Retrieval systems...
Based on the analysis of building energy efficiency features, considering the construction of energy efficiency factors, this paper AHP establish a comprehensive evaluation of building energy efficiency design model based on grey theory. This model mainly combines quantitative analysis, qualitative and quantitative analysis methods to overcome the evaluation's the subjectivity and arbitrariness, and...
Education covers a wide range of levels - from school to Mid-school to graduation and post graduation. The dynamics of each of them is different. The paper discusses the prevailing education methods and the gaps, while imparting them. How Educational technologies while leveraging existing resources i.e. infrastructure, human resources etc., can build more efficient and effective academic institutions,...
Several microgrids have been constructed and put into operation in China. However, there is no Chinese standard on microgrid published yet. IEEE 1547 series of standards is a uniform, comprehensive and authoritative standard series, which is not only instructive to the interconnection of distributed resources with microgrids, but also plays a pivot role in standardizing microgrid construction and...
This paper appraises the indoor thermal environment of two natural ventilated pre-school buildings in Shah Alam city, Selangor. The physical measurement and survey questionnaires on thermal comfort were conducted among the teachers. The results obtained showed that mean temperature and relative humidity of both pre-school buildings were exceeded the standard, while for air velocity was still in suggested...
Digital education resource construction has got more and more attention of colleges. But how to carry out vocational education resource construction is still in an exploratory stage. Centered on domestic and international major resources construction projects, the paper analyzes the current situation and development trend of the operation mechanism of resource system, building ways of resources, and...
In this paper we present a comprehensive framework supporting the tasks of defining, retrieving, and importing Learning Objects (LOs) for personalized courses. It is partially implemented in a Moodle-based personalization system, where the instructional designer is guided through: 1) a theoretical specification of the needed LOs; 2) a retrieval function of actual LOs, by automatically querying standard-compliant...
The classical ReliefF and F-statistic feature selections can not be directly applied into multi-label problems due to the ambiguity produced from a data point attributed to multiple classes simultaneously. In this paper, we present MReliefF and MF-statistic algorithms for multi-label feature selections. Discriminant features are selected to boost the multi-label classification accuracy. The proposed...
A significant portion of a typical Enterprise IT services budget is spent on steady state management operations known as ”operational expenses”. Recently ”Standard Services Offerings” based approaches are proposed to reduce such cost where only a few set of versions and configurations are used to build an Enterprise IT services platform. A key challenge in these approaches is the choice of appropriate...
The focus of China's graduate student education policy has shifted from scale-enlarging to quality-improving. Bearing this change in mind and based on advanced experiences learned from external quality assurance system for graduate student education in developed countries, this article proposes detailed measures for ensuring quality of graduate student quality, serving as a guidance for establishing...
Report of the Seventeenth Party Congress of China in particular stressed to comprehensively implement the scientific development concept in future development, which to built a moderately prosperous society raised higher and newer requirements. Therefore, we should vigorously develop clean energy and promote energy conservation in china. At the guidance of scientific development, introduced several...
Electrical safety starts with policy, continues with education, requires administrative vigilance, and becomes individual responsibility at all levels. Case studies in electrical injury will be presented herein as the basis for understanding concepts of design for electrical safety. Working on the assumption that all electrical injuries are preventable, they must also be foreseeable. Instances of...
In the era of information technologies for the flexible delivery of instruction in both the public and private education sectors, process for ensuring a quality outcome are becoming increasingly important. Quality assurance/enhancement in education sector is very important for a university, institute, college, and school at all levels i.e. students, teaching staff, facilities and the systems. The...
Ever since the beginning of using radio frequencies, a debate started to raise on their safety, after a number of studies, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation (ICNIRP) came up with standards claimed to be safe to operate within. In this paper, we are mainly concerned with studying the main sources of EMF radiation at the vicinity of the university and then to check if the combined...
