On-Line Building Energy Optimization Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Elena Mocanu,Decebal Constantin Mocanu,Phuong H. Nguyen,Antonio Liotta,Michael E. Webber,Madeleine Gibescu,J.G. Slootweg +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the benefits of using deep reinforcement learning (RL) to perform on-line optimization of schedules for building energy management systems are explored. But, the authors do not consider the impact of different types of data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wasted food, wasted energy: the embedded energy in food waste in the United States.
TL;DR: The energy embedded in wasted food represents approximately 2% of annual energy consumption in the United States, which is substantial when compared to other energy conservation and production proposals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clustering analysis of residential electricity demand profiles
TL;DR: In this article, the shape of seasonally-resolved residential demand profiles, the optimal number of normalized representative residential electricity use profiles within each season, and correlations to the different profiles based on survey data from the occupants of the 103 homes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water intensity of transportation.
Carey W. King,Michael E. Webber +1 more
TL;DR: This paper investigates the water intensity for light duty vehicle (LDV) travel using selected fuels based upon petroleum, natural gas, unconventional fossil fuels, hydrogen, electricity, and two biofuels (ethanol from corn and biodiesel from soy).
Journal ArticleDOI
The energy-water nexus in Texas
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the water requirements for various types of electricity generating facilities, for typical systems both nationwide and in Texas, and also addressed the energy requirements of water supply and wastewater treatment systems, comparing national averages with Texas-specific values.
