This research used a quantitative method and conducted at universities in Medan city, Indonesia. The population of this research was university students with a total sample of 395 respondents. The analysis was carried out with SEMPLS. Attitudes and beliefs were affecting perceived behavior control. In addition, beliefs are also affecting energy conservation application on green campus. Therefore, the campus policy and management should consider students green behavior in designing energy conservation application for green campus.

The study concludes that unawareness is the key determinant that creates and strengthens a sense of irresponsibility in consumer behavior. The academician and practitioners need dire attention to take precautionary measures for developing prominent awareness campaigns and strategic policy guidelines to distort irresponsible human nature by including fearful promotional contents in marketing campaigns.

This paper resonate current debate on renewable energy developments (RED) with emphasis on opportunities, barriers and related issues within the context of global energy politics. Energy is a strategic commodity that is required to meet basic needs of the society. A sizeable portion of primary energy demand is met through conventional fossil fuels which are a finite resource, but RED is an important step towards environmental, social and economic development.

The study investigates the long run relationship and causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth in the BRICS countries during the period 1990-2018. The Pedroni panel co-integration method is applied to analyse the co-integration relationship among the variables. The causality relationship among the variables is analysed using Pair-wise Granger-causality technique. The study’s results reveal that there is a long run relationship between economic growth, energy consumption, employment and trade openness in Brics countries.

This paper applied the ARDL bounds test approach and the VECM test technique to examine the long run relationship and direction of causality between renewable energy consumption and economic growth in Argentina. Quarterly time series data was employed in this study covering a period between 1990 and 2018. Trade openness, capital and employment were included in the study to form a multivariate framework. The results established that there is a long run relationship between the variables.

This paper examines the relationship between energy consumption and sustainable economic welfare in Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Initially, the index of sustainable economic welfare (ISEW) is calculated followed by an investigation of the relationship between energy consumption and sustainable economic welfare in these countries. The calculation of the ISEW reveals the most important beneficial component and the most important cost component of ISEW is adjusted personal consumption and energy depletion, respectively.

This article will explore energy conservation as part of the national energy policy in Indonesia. Although the government has implemented a strategy for implementing energy conservation by applying energy management to the industrial sector, energy conservation still has challenges and obstacles in making it happen.

This study examines the dynamic relationship between energy use, income, and environmental degradation in Afghanistan using annual data from 1970 to 2016. The dynamic causal relationship among variables are being tested; grounded by four testable hypotheses (growth, conservation, feedback, and neutrality). The F-bounds test, Dynamic OLS, and VECM Granger causality are utilized. The empirical results confirm that there is a long-run relationship among the variables and the energy use and GDP both affects the CO2 emissions in the long run.

Sustainability of soil system and crop productivity is the greatest challenges in the twentyfirst century. The growing population pressurized modern agricultural practices to enhance food production. Green-revolution derived modern agriculture is characterized by the use of high-yielding crop varieties, inappropriate application of synthetic fertilizers and intensive water and energy resources utilization.

A major physiological adaptation of the camel is its ability to allow its body temperature to fluctuate. The normal diurnal variation in a fully hydrated camel does not exceed 2°C and is in the range of about 36 to 38°C. In a 500 kg animal the heat stored as a result of diurnal variation of this order would be about 4.2 x 106 (joules). In dehydrated camels, when considerations of energy and water conservation become more important, temperature variation can be as much as 8°C in the range of 34 to 42°C, but a more normal range is 6°C...

The steady improvements to the electric distribution systems have been joined by new concepts that include generation, conservation and storage of electricity, part of the Energy Policy Act dictated by Congress in 2005. The act recognizes changes in factors affecting the generation of electric energy and now includes the field of its distribution. These include increasing concerns for the environment (global warming, etc.)

Moreover, we will present estimates for different scenarios – of slow and rapid adoption of the new technology – that should cover the range of possible out- comes with a good approximation. Third and last, our approach neglects some of the positive effects exerted by the introduction of cloud computing, mainly the cre- ation of new network effects and the positive externalities due to energy savings. Their consideration would be subject to excessive uncertainty, but because of this we can look at our estimates of the impact of cloud computing on the economy as conservative estimates.

A recommendation to improve process motor efficiency is to replace standard V-belt drives with synchronous belt drives for more efficient power transfer. Synchronous belts do not slip yielding a better transfer of power, where as V-belts, due to friction slip, requiring additional electricity. Installing synchronous belts on large motors, typically starting at twenty horsepower, will yield a two-year or less payback for multiple shift operations. An appropriate energy conservation recommendation is to install energy efficient motors.
