Unlike the Industrial Assessment Centers, which focus on manufacturing and are funded by the Federal Government, this program demonstrates that successful partnerships can be established at the local government level to aid various types of organizations in energy conservation and cost reduction. Since 2005, the program completed ten energy assessments and identified over 143,000 kwh and 103,000 kg of CO2 for reduction. Additionally, over $12,000 has been identified as annual cost savings for Lucas County businesses. The purpose of this paper is to provide a complete overview and framework of this program so that other institutions may learn from it and adopt similar programs at the local level. A focus of this paper is a discussion of a case study that details the process and results of a typical energy assessment conducted through the project and comparison to similar programs in the US.展开更多

Consequently, by using the reduction of the pfaffian solution to the determinant form, this new system can not only be reduced to the 2D TodaESCS, but be reduced to the coupled 2D Toda lattice equation. This result indicates that the p-2D TodaESCS is also a pfafilan version of the 2D TodaESCS, which implies the commutativity between the source generation procedure and Pfaffianization is valid to the semi-discrete soliton equation.展开更多
