2. Balancing Building Conservation with Energy Conservation - Towards differentiated energy renovation strategies in historic building stocks
Abstract : Balancing building conservation with energy conservation is challenging. The overall aim of this thesis is to bridge the perceived conflict of reaching climate and energy goals on the one hand and the goals of a sustainable management of historic building stocks on the other hand.

3. Energy Efficiency in Machine Learning : Approaches to Sustainable Data Stream Mining
Abstract : Energy efficiency in machine learning explores how to build machine learning algorithms and models with low computational and power requirements. Although energy consumption is starting to gain interest in the field of machine learning, still the majority of solutions focus on obtaining the highest predictive accuracy, without a clear focus on sustainability.

4. Exhaust Heat Utilisation and Losses in Internal Combustion Engines with Focus on the Gas Exchange System
Abstract : Exhaust gas energy recovery should be considered in improving fuel economy of internal combustion engines. A large portion of fuel energy is wasted through the exhaust of internal combustion engines. Turbocharger and turbocompound can, however, recover part of this wasted heat. READ MORE

5. QoS Driven Coordinated Management of Resources to Save Energy in Multi-Core Systems
Abstract : Reducing the energy consumption of computing systems is a necessary endeavor. However, saving energy should not come at the expense of degrading user experience. To this end, in this thesis, we assume that applications running on multi-core processors are associated with a quality-of-service (QoS) target in terms of performance constraints. READ MORE
