Load distribution and energy awareness in manets using multipath routing
… The second aspect of the thesis addresses energy awareness. When a single connection is considered, multipath routing can potentially consume more total energy compared to its unipath counterparts because some traffic can traverse longer (in terms of hop count) paths. On the other hand, …

Reducing Energy Consumption in Residential Buildings: The Impacts of Occupant Behaviour and Engaging Control Systems
In Canada, buildings account for 35% of energy consumption and hold the largest opportunity for reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Occupant engagement poses one of the best solutions to reducing building energy consumption, with studies showing annual energy consumption can …
