According to the actual situation of new countryside construction, countermeasures were put forward on how to develop rural energy including enhancing the rural energy planning, popularizing suitable technology mode, increasing input, and accelerating technology supporting capacity through an analysis on the potency...
Ecological driving aiming at optimizing energy consumption is highly desirable for sustainable intelligent transportation systems. This paper presents a unique development of ecological vehicle driving system in model predictive approach. The vehicle's fuel consumption model and the model based anticipation of future road-traffic situations are used in this rigorous reasoning approach of deriving...
Building contributes almost 40 percent of CO2 emissions and is a major contributor to the Green House Gas Emissions (GHG). Climate change and its impacts need considerable attention from the building engineers/researchers so that building is designed taking into account environmental, socio-economic and cultural issues. The sustainable construction looks into the design and management of buildings,...
