Here are a few key ways ICT can help improve building energy performance through prediction and automation:
1. Sensors and IoT devices can monitor user behavior and environmental conditions to learn patterns over time. This allows systems to predict needs and automate responses.
2. Machine learning algorithms can analyze sensor data to identify patterns in things like occupancy, lighting/appliance usage, temperature preferences, etc. This enables automated, personalized control of building systems.
3. Based on learned patterns and predictions, building systems can be automatically adjusted in advance to improve comfort while reducing energy usage. For example, pre-heating a home before arrival or turning on preferred lighting.
4. Real-time user feedback through mobile apps or interfaces
The Information Communication and Technology industry is made up of enterprises concerned with the design, manufacture, installation, development, support and management of computer-based information systems (both software and hardware). The rapid expansion of electronic technologies within the global TELECOM industry has been accompanied by an explosion of automation applications that are redefining the way we perceive and experience communication, entertainment and security in our personal and professional environments. Convenience is now a function of the extent to which electronic appliances and gadgets are „online‟ and accessible through land and wireless networks. Information flow is expected on demand -constant, reliable, accurate and accessible. Such changes have understandably raised expectations with regards to the how effectively we function, in the places we live and work. No where have the effects of this new technology been felt as powerfully as in the global real estate industry.

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

2. There are many interpretations of intelligent design:
The main interpretations mostly consider the
crucial role of technology without sufficient
consideration of social, cultural and user interactions.
Other similar studies define intelligent buildings as
automated buildings with flexibility, cost-efficiency
and integrated technical performances.
However, a few studies criticize previous
interpretations while arguing that intelligent buildings
must be responsive to the user′s actual needs.

intelligent building? - 1.
3. Intelligent building accentuates a multi-
disciplinary effort to integrate and optimize the
building structures, systems, services and
management in order to create a productive, cost
effective and environmentally approved
environment for the occupants.
Despite the previous interpretations of the
concept of intelligent building, recent studies
proclaim that it must create a successful
combination between the environment and the
occupants.

4. Smart building refer to built environments such
as apartments, offices, museums, hospitals, schools,
malls, university campuses, and outdoor areas that
are enabled for co-operation of smart objects and
systems, and for ubiquitous interaction with
frequent and sporadic visitors.
Prime business scenarios include smart retail
environments and public areas providing better
service to customers and citizens, and home and
office environments making living and working more
comfortable and efficient.

5. The Smart/intelligent building involves “the use
of integrated technological building systems,
communications and controls to create a building
and its infrastructure which provides the owner,
operator and occupant with an environment
which is flexible, effective, comfortable and
secure.”

13. Time to integrate network
and building security - 1.
Fastest growing markets are physical security,
biometrics and radio frequency identification (RFID)
in the automatic identification sector
Businesses must realize the importance of integrating
physical and digital security in the workplace by
accepting that security is a single issue – rather than
breaking it down in terms of digital and physical
security
Integration of Security and Fire with BAS:

14. Facilities access makes the security of IT systems
vulnerable. As per industry feedback, approximately
70 percent of data theft from a company is physical
theft
The need to cut costs is another driving factor for this
convergence. Integration of the budgets for physical
and IT security can deliver substantial efficiencies
The efficiencies become even more compelling when
a common data repository is used for all identity
related information

25. Four key aspects
characterize a smart home
1. A communications network through which
different devices talk to each other
2. Intelligent controls to manage the system
3. Sensors that collect information
4. Smart features (Example: Intelligent heating
systems that adjust automatically to external
temperature), which respond to information
from sensors or user instructions [25] as well as
to the system provider (Example: Remote
control of appliances)
26. Key requirement
for smart buildings
Key infrastructure required for the smart home,
including new and existing homes:
The smart home network
Interoperability
Reliability
Security
27. Two principal elements of
the smart home network
1. A ‘physical’ connection linking the
components - a wired connection or a radio
signal (as in the case with ‘wireless’)
2. A shared language by which the various
components can communicate with one
another and exchange information through a
‘communications protocol’
28. Interoperability
The successful smart building must evolve and
adapt to changing preferences, demands and
needs.
Two ways in which the sought-after
consistency and coherence within smart home
systems might be achieved:
1. Universal standards for communication
protocols
2. Central network hub or ‘gateway’
29. Universal standards
for communication protocols
This involves a set of specifications to which new
smart buildings technologies would have to be
developed to ensure interoperability.
Results of attempts to create such comm. protocols:
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
BACnet (Building Automation and Control Network)
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance)
Two main European standards:
EIB (European Installation Bus)
EHS Protocol (European Home Systems) and BatiBus
were combined into KNX (Konnex)
30. This would connect and act as an interpreter
between the different smart building devices or
sub-networks.
This gateway would act as a home network
router able to connect multiple home computers
and peripheral devices (Example: Printers) to one
another and to the Internet.
Such platforms:
OSGi (Open Services Gateway Initiative)
Jini - are designed to universal standards for
communication protocols, central network hub or
‘gateway’.
Central network hub or
‘gateway’
31. Reliability
In the integrated smart home, the
interconnecting of technologies with different
tolerances for technical errors poses a concern.
For example, boiler designers and home
computer developers work under different
assumptions about the appropriate tolerance level
for crashes.
Combining the two different products introduces
room for complications.
32. Security
Security concerns will differentiate preferences
for the different building technologies available.
In order to tailor its systems to best support the
inhabitants’ and users’ lifestyle, a smart building
may collect information about them, such as their
physical movements and daily routines (Example:
Use of sensors or video cameras), energy use and
bills, purchases or even music preferences.
Safeguarding personal data and developing
secure systems, especially for remote control of
smart building services (Examples: Opening garage
doors, or turning lights or heating on and off with a
mobile phone), are key challenges.
33. Installation of smart buildings
Three methods of smart building propagation:
1. Retrofitting existing buildings
2. Converting other properties (e.g., barns, ware-
houses) tailored to buyers’ requirements
3. Purpose-built buildings
Currently, the latter two are most used. They offer the
ability to optimize the high costs of extensive cabling
and intelligent control infrastructure with respect to
the physical characteristics of a building.

66. What can ICT do to improve
building energy performance?
• ICT can be instrumental in achieving more efficient
use of energy through simulation, modeling,
analysis, monitoring and visualization tools that are
needed to facilitate a "whole building approach" to
both design and operate buildings.
• ICT will also play an essential role in facilitating the
implementation of policy and in measuring its
effectiveness. The ICT sector can deliver tools that
are vitally needed to collect, process and manage
the data, and present it in a standardized format.
67. Conclusion

The notion of smart building must target for
•a harmony between architecture, people and
environment and likewise,
•the harmony between the utilization of advance
technologies and local characteristics of region.
In this regard, the use of appropriate vernacular features
of vernacular built environments as embodiment of
smart living environments for creating local smart
houses is promising.
