The continuous increase in the cost of energy production and concerns for environmental sustainability are leading research communities, governments and industries to amass efforts to reduce energy consumption and global $CO_2$ footprint. Players in the information and communication industry are keen on reducing the operational expenditures (OpEx) and maintaining the profitability of cellular networks. Meanwhile, network virtualization has been proposed in this regard as the main enabler for 5G mobile cellular networks. In this paper, we propose a generic framework of slice resource provisioning and customized physical resource allocation for energy-efficiency and quality of service optimization. In resource slicing, we consider user demand and population resources provisioning scheme aiming to satisfy quality of service (QoS). In customized physical resource allocation, we formulate this problem with an integer non-linear programming model, which is solved by a heuristic algorithm based on minimum vertex coverage. The proposed algorithm is compared with the existing approaches, without consideration of slice resource constraints via system-level simulations. From the perspective of infrastructure providers, traffic is scheduled over a limited number of active small-cell base stations (sc-BSs) that significantly reduce the system energy consumption and improve the system's spectral efficiency. From the perspective of virtual network operators and mobile users, the proposed approach can guarantee QoS for mobile users and improve user satisfaction.

The advent of the state-of-the-art technologies such as cloud computing and big data processing stimulates the provision of various new IT services, which implies that more servers are required to support them. However, the need for more servers will lead to more energy consumption and the efficient use of energy in the computing environment will become more important. The next generation nonvolatile RAM has many desirable features such as byte addressability, low access latency, high density and low energy consumption. There are many approaches to adopt them especially in the area of the file system involving storage devices, but their focus lies on the improvement of system performance, not on energy reduction. This paper suggests a novel approach for energy reduction in which the MRAM-based SSD is utilized as a storage device instead of the hard disk and a downsized page is adopted instead of the 4KB page that is the size of a page in the ordinary file system. The simulation results show that energy efficiency of a new approach is very effective in case of accessing the small number of bytes and is improved up to 128 times better than that of NAND Flash memory.

Energy cost has been increasing rapidly to comply with environmental regulations worldwide and the manufacturing industry who consumes more than half of the total energy needs to improve their cost competitiveness considering environmental costs. Machine tools are essential elements in manufacturing industry and efforts have been made recently to increase their energy efficiency mainly by German and Japanese machine tool builders. In this paper, trends in energy saving technology are described on the hardware and software sides of peripheral equipment of machine tools. In addition, the power consumption of a machining center is measured and analyzed to develop a software-based standby strategy for energy saving with peripheral equipment of machine tools.

This paper proposed a multi-objective optimization method for building energy system design using primary energy consumption and initial cost. The designing of building energy systems is a complex task, because life cycle cost and efficiency of building are determined by decisions of engineer during the early stage of design. Therefore, methods such as pareto analysis that can generate various alternatives for decision making are necessary. In this study, the optimization is performed using the NSGAII and case study was carried out for feasibility of the proposed method. As a result, alternative solutions can be obtained for the optimal building energy system design.

Residential buildings account for a significant portion of the total building-energy usage in Korea, and a variety of research studies on the domestic boiler have therefore been carried out; however, most of these studies examined the boiler itself, whereby the part-load ratio characteristics and the corresponding gas-energy consumption patterns were not analyzed. In this study, the part-load ratio and operating characteristics of a domestic gas boiler were analyzed within a residential building equipped with a radiant floor-heating system; in addition, the energy consumption between condensing and conventional boilers was comparatively analyzed. Our results show that significant portions of the total operating hours, heating load, and energy consumption are in the part-load ratio range of 0 through 40%, whereby the energy consumption was significantly affected by the boiler efficiency under low part-load conditions. These results indicate that the part-load operation of a boiler is an important factor in residential buildings; furthermore, replacing a conventional boiler with a condensing boiler can reduce annual gas-energy usage by more than 20%.

Recently, by the increase of demand on Super High-rise mixed-use housing and it's advanced quality, the interest on it has been raised socially. In accordance with it, the matter of resident's health and energy efficiency has been controversial in terms of living in super high-rise housing. This study started from the idea that it is necessary to have an objective data which that has many residents in narrow space with high density. The purpose of this study are as follows; Firstly, with the quantitative data analysis on energy, it will confirm the objective information on the unclear negative idea of super high-rise mixed-use housing. Secondly, it will establish the fundamental data on the energy of super high-rise mixed-use housing by examining the characteristic of energy consumption of the complex which was built more than 5 years ago. There are 4 methods of this study. Firstly, it follows the steps of theoretical view, and defines concept to study on the characteristic of super high-rise mixed-use housing. Secondly, referring to the previous study, it provides better understanding on th stream of this research and the limit as well to guide the direction in terms of energy consumption. Thirdly, it evaluates the characteristic of monthly consumption by researching the use of electricity energy and heating energy of super high-rise mixed-use housing.

에너지 요인분석의 한계와 확장을 위하여 요인분석과 계량모형의 결합을 시도하였다. 에너지 원단위 효과의 변화 결정 요인을 계량적 방법으로 추정하고, 에너지 원단위 효과와 계량모형의 에너지 효율 변화를 비교하였다. 에너지 원단위 효과를 이용한 확장모형에서 에너지 가격이 오르면 에너지 원단위 효과가 개선되는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 그리고 계량모형에서 에너지 효율 변수의 대변수인 시간추세의 준탄력성을 살펴보면, 단기에서는 -0.02로 장기에서는 -0.04로 서서히 완만한 에너지 효율 개선을 보이고 있다. 마지막으로 요인분해 결과와 계량모형의 결과를 비교하면, 전체 제조업과 8개 제조업 업종 중 4개 업종의 경우 에너지 효율의 개선 방향이 일치하는 결과를 보이고 있다. 요인분해의 결과와 계량모형의 결과 비교에서 나타나듯이, 두 방법이 서로 교류할 수 없는 방법이 아니라는 점을 확인하였다. 향후 학문적 정책적 노력에 따라 최소한 서로 보완할 수 있는 여지가 충분히 있음을 보였다. 따라서 이러한 연구가 지속될 수 있는 학문적 정책적 노력이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

The energy efficiency of wireless infrastructure and terminals has been drawing renewed attention of late, due to their significant environmental cost. Emerging green communication paradigms such as cognitive radios, are also imposing the additional requirement of flexibility. This dual requirement of energy efficiency and flexibility poses new design challenges for implementing radio functional blocks. This paper focuses on the area vs. power trade-offs for the type of channel filters that are required in the digital frontend of a flexible, energy-efficient radio. In traditional CMOS circuits, increased area was traded for reduced dynamic power consumption. With leakage power emerging as the dominant mode of power consumption in nanoscale CMOS, these trade-offs must be revisited due to the strong correlation between area and leakage power. The current work discusses how the increased timing slacks obtained by increasing the parallelism can be exploited for overall power reduction even in nanoscale circuits. In this context the paper introduces the notion of 'area efficiency' and a metric for evaluating it. The proposed metric has also been used to compare the area efficiencies of different classes of time-shared filters.

교반형 볼 밀에서 실리카 분말의 열처리에 따른 분쇄효율을 분쇄에 따른 에너지 소비량을 측정함으로써 조사하였다. 열처리를 행한 것과 행하지 않은 시료를 비교해 보면, 600~90$0^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 후 실온에서 냉각된 시료를 건식 분쇄하였을 경우 약 40~50% 정도, 열처리 후 물속에서 급속 냉각한 경우 약 52～62% 정도의 에너지의 감소 효과가 있었다. 또한 열처리한 실리카 분말을 습식 분쇄를 할 경우 건식 분쇄에 비하여 약 40% 정도의 분쇄에너지가 적게 소모되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 실리카 분말을 열처리 한 후, 급속 냉각할 경우 발생하는 열충격은 입도에 대한 영향을 거의 받지 않으며 분쇄효과를 향상시킴을 알 수 있었다.
