To: President Dr. Papazian
From: Sumaid Mahmood
Subject: Benefits Smart Energy at SJSU Engineering Building
Date: 11/13/2017

Purpose of today’s memo I am requesting for a development of an Energy Dashboard at our SJSU Engineering Building while proposing $80,000 grant to the Engineering department for students to develop an energy dashboard under the direction of a professor of their choice.

Discussion:
The usage of property sectors faces several pressures relating to energy including rising energy cost and maintaining tenant satisfaction. More than 37% of the building in the bay area are emission by greenhouse gas affection and 10% of them including the commercial and educational institutions. Energy Dashboard will help the provider to …show more content…

Data analytical from smart energy reading will not just have an impact in residential areas but will also benefit education institutions and commercial properties. Smart Energy will help data analytics to reveal information about the consumer's behavior, like for example the data surveys being pool together by power distributing companies will help them define how much customers are using their energy and determine its cost in specific areas depending on energy’s demand and supply provided by electrical firms. SJSU is not the first one to adopt the smart energy technology, UC Davis has been using it since 2016. According to CEED UC Davis website, their dashboard measures EUI (Energy use intensity = annual energy use (kBtu)/building square footage (ft^2)) which is a mathematical formula to motorized building’s yearly energy usage divided by its square footage (CEEP UC Davis). Distributing power companies don’t have to depend on the workforce to analyze the company supply data; smart energy will automatically record the data to the processing system which helps the management system of improving the demand of supply in the engineering

By researching I discovered that Duke Energy was the largest power corporation, but Engie and National Grid are not far behind. However, these two corporations are located in other countries, so I decided to do an overall industry comparison using S&P. By looking at the ratios found in Appendix A.2 and A.3, it is noted that the industries are very similar, but Duke Energy is right below the industry average. Although Duke is slightly below the industry this could be due to expansion and investment. Duke is growing and is the top electric utility corporation in America.

In Robert Bryce’s article “The Dangerous Delusions of Energy Independence” he explains the depths of America’s delusional perception of energy independence and asserts his evident disapproval of the subject. He begins by mentioning past presidents and their verbal concerns of an upcoming energy crisis leading into the similar views held by America’s majority. The fact that energy independence will make America self-sufficient, create new jobs, keep U.S. soldiers out of the Persian Gulf, and result in a thriving economy has become a generally accepted attitude. Bryce claims that this attitude has escalated since the attacks of September 11th due to the numerous news stories proposing that “buying oil from the countries of the Persian Gulf

The state government's approach on Australia’s energy policy has provoked much debate in recent media. The Australian opinion piece, titled ‘Energy policy has become a racket and the madness must stop’ (November 7, 2016) was written by an Australian economist, Judith Sloan, in response to this debate. Sloan presents a mocking and skeptical tone where she argues that ‘it’s time for the federal government to intervene to stop this madness’. She attacks the Australian state governments by portraying its management techniques which are contrary to her ideals as foolish, uncaring and deceitful. This creates distrust of this section of the government in the audience and further supports her view by using evidence and appeals to hip pocket nerve to gain approval of ‘the Australian taxpayer’.

The harnessing of electricity is emblematic of this trend. As it relates to the process of innovation, the work of developing electricity as a cheap and widely applicable power source fell increasingly to the newly organized industrial and corporate research labs. The first among these were Thomas Edison's Menlo Park lab in New Jersey (an industrial lab) and the company lab established at GE (a corporate lab) at the turn of the century. Following the trail blazed by Edison, the whole process of innovation came to rely more on specialists, trained scientists, collaboration, and corporate funding-establishing the basic blueprint for cradles of twentieth-century

electric company. The program is brought to Alberta classrooms and communities via a 40-foot motorhome and delivers educational programs about Alberta’s energy resources and energy efficiency (ATCO Energy Sense, “Energy Education”, n.d., para 3). The programs are designed for grade 4 science and social studies curriculum. The program is administrated through ATCO EnergySense, an arm of ATCO, and is managed by two coordinators. The program also provides a range of teacher and resources including an energy landscape game, teacher resources geared towards electricity and power.

3 MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY 3.0 INTRODUCTION Energy analysis of buildings helps to simulate the amount of energy used in a building. It is very important as it helps to discover and ascertain new ways of conserving energy and ensuring energy efficiency of building components. Building developers, construction engineers are increasingly interested in creating more energy efficient reason, and for this purpose whole building energy simulation programs are being used to determine strategies that save energy and are cost effective. The most common way available to perform this building energy analysis is to implement building information modelling(BIM). Building Information Modelling(BIM) consists of a digital representation of physical and functional

a sustainable building maximizes daylighting, has a good ventilation and moisture control. It also optimizes acoustic performance. 6. Optimize Operational and Maintenance Practices Designers can specify materials and systems that simplify and reduce maintenance requirements; require less water, energy, and toxic chemicals / cleaners to maintain; and are cost-effective and reduce life-cycle costs. Energy conservation in building is very important and best way to decrease the energy consumption is using solar energy and creating passive building design.

By having this unit in our inverter we can connect the Hybrid system to the house holdings directly in parallel to the main grid. After the MCB, we will be fixing this changeover unit. Because of this newly implemented system, we do not need to have dual KWh meters. Because when the inverter running mode switched on automatically the grid will be isolated. Therefore the KWh meter will be stopping running at that time.

Global warming is rapidly tuning into a strong concern for the citizens of the world. Science believes that the production of greenhouse gases is having a large heating effect on the atmosphere, and this could be very dangerous for human life and the environment. There are many causes of the global warming, some are natural causes and some are human made causes. Unfortunately, humans produce a lot of greenhouse gases through cars, landfills, and livestock cultivation. Deforestation and industrial emissions result to an of increase greenhouse gases around the Earth’s atmosphere.
