Investment Opportunities on Energy Efficiency and Conservation - Patrick Aqui...OECD Environment
1st Clean Energy Finance and Investment Consultation Workshop: “Unlocking finance and investment for clean energy in the Philippines” 31 May – 1 June 2022, Makati Diamond Residences, Legazpi Village, Makati City
This paper explores investment options for improving the energy efficiency of buildings in Saudi Arabia. Through detailed simulations of prototypical buildings, the paper finds that energy efficiency programs could reduce electricity consumption by up to 27% and peak demand by 30%. Retrofitting residential buildings provides the most cost-effective options, with paybacks of less than 1 year for basic programs. More ambitious programs have longer paybacks depending on electricity prices. Successful implementation would require strengthened policies, building codes, and workforce training, but could avoid $28 billion in power costs, create up to 247,000 jobs annually, and reduce carbon emissions by up to 76 million tons per year.

Thermal energy storage (TES) applications in commercial buildings can reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions significantly. TES works by shifting energy use from peak to off-peak hours through technologies like water-based or salt-hybrid storage. A benefit-cost analysis of TES in 7 commercial buildings in Andhra Pradesh found benefit-cost ratios ranging from 2.12 to 3.44 depending on the discount rate and storage type, indicating TES is economically viable. TES can help buildings reduce energy costs while lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.
Accident detection system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The
advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place
frequently which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities.
Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and
reach in time. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. A piezo electric
sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With
signals from a piezo electric sensor, a severe accident can be recognized. According to this
project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately piezo electric sensor will detect the
signal or if a car rolls over. Then with the help of GSM module and GPS module, the location
will be sent to the emergency contact. Then after conforming the location necessary action will
be taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone’s
life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in order to
avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team.

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

50. CONCLUSIONS
The Energy Conservation Building Code is one of the most effective
instruments to improve building energy efficiency and thermal comfort, while
reducing peak demand;
ECBC 2017 applies to all commercial buildings with connected load of 100 kW
or contract demand of 120 kVAand higher;
Potential impact of ECBC 2017 implementation:
o 50% of energy savings by 2030;
o 15 GW of peak demand reduction;
o 250 Mt CO2e of GHG abatement;
o INR 35,000 Crore of monetary savings;
Given ECBC’s benefits, states and ULBs should adopt ECBC if they haven’t
already;
States and ULBs should also develop robust implementation strategies to
maximize the benefits of ECBC.
