Abstract: MANET transmission strategies coupled with location-awareness is welcome in ubicomp [1-45] and hence remain good topics of research. The success of these strategies depend heavily on the correct protocol designs being adopted. Current research attempts assume present methods for protocol design as heuristic in nature [83] and hence not so suitable for “correct the first time implementations”. Optimisation methods for tuning parameters in middleware services and applications [84] is needed and suitability of traditional layered architecture in networking is also questioned [85] in terms of QoS and node densities. A further aim in this direction is to achieve realism in design and evaluation of wireless routing protocols [86]. This can be enhanced towards predictability in ubicomp. Achieving realism is a very long process since it will involve realism in each aspect concerned with ubicomp. Such an aspect was studied in a previous research [14] to assess the trend of energy savings achiev

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the macroeconomic effect of building energy-efficient houses in Russia. One-time investments for energy-efficient house are higher than for standard one due to additional costs of energy saving equipment and technologies, but they lead to specific savings in operating costs per each year of exploitation. As a result, total costs of ownership for a standard and energy-efficient house differ in favor of energy-efficient one. We calculate the payback period for additional investments in energy-efficiency for different climatic zones in Russia and accumulated savings for different scenarios of growth of energy-efficient house building share in total house building in Russia.
