Does energy efficiency affect ambient PM2.5? The moderating role of energy investment [PDF]
The difficulty of balance between environment and energy consumption makes countries and enterprises face a dilemma, and improving energy efficiency has become one of the ways to solve this dilemma. Based on data of 158 countries from 1980 to 2018, the dynamic TFP of different countries is calculated by means of the Super-SBM-GML model.

The impact of access to credit on energy efficiency [PDF]
This paper proposes a brand-new measure of energy efficiency at household level and explores how it is affected by access to credit. We calculate the energy and carbon intensity of the related sectors, which experience a substantial decline from 2005 to 2019.

Improving the Representation of Energy Efficiency in an Energy System Optimization Model [PDF]
Energy system optimization models (ESOMs) are designed to examine the potential effects of a proposed policy, but often represent energy-efficient technologies and policies in an overly simplified way. Most ESOMs include different end-use technologies with varying efficiencies and select technologies for deployment based solely on least-cost ...

Carbon-Efficient Neural Architecture Search [PDF]
This work presents a novel approach to neural architecture search (NAS) that aims to reduce energy costs and increase carbon efficiency during the model design process. The proposed framework, called carbon-efficient NAS (CE-NAS), consists of NAS evaluation algorithms with different energy requirements, a multi-objective optimizer, and a heuristic GPU ...

Energy Efficient Power Allocation for Device-to-Device Communications Underlaid Cellular Networks Using Stochastic Geometry [PDF]
In this paper, we study an energy efficiency maximization problem in uplink for D2D communications underlaid with cellular networks on multiple bands. Utilizing stochastic geometry, we derive closed-form expressions for the average sum rate, successful transmission probability, and energy efficiency of cellular and D2D users.
