Abstract:

With the promotion of sustainability in the buildings and construction sector, the carbon saving strategies for the end-of-life (EoL) phase have been receiving increasing attention. In this research, life cycle assessment (LCA) theory was employed to study and compare the carbon savings benefits of three different management strategies (i.e., recycling, remanufacturing, and reuse) on the EoL phase of various buildings (including residential, office, commercial, and school buildings). Moreover, the carbon savings potential (CSP) was calculated and analyzed, which is defined as the percentage of

Abstract:

Improving energy efficiency in post-primary-school buildings is crucial for decarbonisation, yet existing strategies often focus on costly renovations, rather than operational optimisations. This study addresses the research gap by investigating how targeted adjustments in building operation can achieve significant energy savings without major renovations while maintaining user comfort. This research employs the interdisciplinary ENERGE Project framework and a five-step methodology that integrates technical and behavioural approaches to identify savings opportunities.

Abstract:

Abstract The education sector is one of the contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the education sector strongly supports the government’s aspirations to reduce carbon emissions. Energy consumption is related to the amount of carbon emission production—energy consumption information helps to forecast energy savings while creating carbon emission reduction. The research aims to propose a new modeling of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) by installing the Net Energy Metering (NEM) meter in the Politeknik Sultan Azlan Shah (PSAS) educational institution's ring distribution system.

Since Taiwan lacks self-produced energy, and is 98 percent reliant on imports for its primary energy. Increasing energy efficiency and energy savings are an essential part of Taiwan’s energy policy. This work summarized the energy saving potential of the Taiwanese textile industry from the on-line Energy Declare System in 2008. It was found that the total potential energy savings was thus 64,034 KL of crude oil equivalent (KLOE). The energy saving potential identified was 94,614MWh of electricity, 24,536 kiloliters of fuel oil, and 23,722 tons of fuel coal. It represented a reduction of 192,35

Renewable energy communities (RECs) might be an interesting new stakeholder in stimulating home energy-saving efforts by tenants and homeowners due to their potential of raising awareness locally and gaining public support for low-carbon energy and energy-savings projects, because RECs are often locally sited, in close social proximity of residents, and are already part of local structures and share local institutions. This comes with many benefits since they already have a reputation locally, a social history with the local community, and can be trusted by the latter. This makes them potentia

A surgeon and nurse-initiated GORC was formed with members from corporate leadership, nursing, anesthesia, and OR staff. Initiatives for recycling opportunities, reduction of energy and water use as well as solid waste were implemented and the results were r

Abstract:

This paper introduces an innovative cooperative model for energy efficiency retrofitting that incorporates carbon emission rights, addressing critical financial constraints in Energy Performance Contracting (EPC). By employing the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (F-AHP) to evaluate risk assessment indicators and stakeholder contributions and utilizing the enhanced Shapley method for equitable benefit distribution, the model demonstrates significant improvements in financing and efficiency for energy conservation projects. The findings are as follows: (1) the energy efficiency retrofit model,

Abstract. California's goal to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to a level that is 80 % below 1990 levels by the year 2050 will require adoption of low-carbon energy sources across all economic sectors. In addition to reducing GHG emissions, shifting to fuels with lower carbon intensity will change concentrations of short-lived conventional air pollutants, including airborne particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) and ozone (O3). Here we evaluate how business-as-usual (BAU) air pollution and public health in California will be transformed in the year 2050 through the adoptio

Abstract:

Due to inherent variations in energy's carbon intensity, temporal shifting has become a key method in reducing the carbon footprint of batch workloads. However, temporally shifting workloads involves searching for periods with lower carbon intensity, which increases the workload's completion time. In this paper, we present CarbonScaler, a new approach that reduces carbon emissions of batch workloads without extending their completion time. Our approach relies on applications' ability to change their compute demand by scaling the workload based on fluctuations in energy's carbon intensity. We p

Abstract:

Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) is one of the innovative concepts for sustainable buildings because of its ability to save energy and reduce carbon emissions simultaneously. This study used a descriptive approach to review tall building data through the parameter of saving electricity by using the EDGE application. Primary data is data obtained from working drawings or detailed engineering design (DED), work plans and specifications, and budget plans. EDGE application also produced several outputs to analyze energy performance: final energy use, operational CO2 emissions, embodied energy, util

Abstract:

This study evaluates the impact of solar energy adoption on industrial sustainability in Uzbekistan, focusing on both economic and environmental outcomes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from energy savings, carbon emissions reduction, and operational cost savings with qualitative analysis from interviews and field observations across three villages: Mirzo-Ulugbek, Karakol, and Fergana. The results indicate that higher adoption of solar energy, particularly in Mirzo-Ulugbek, led to significant improvements, including a 30% reduction in energy use, a 40% decre

This study aims to investigate the dynamic correlations among carbon emission reduction, total cost savings, and asset investments in the industrial sector in China. This study uses the panel vector autoregressive (PVAR) model and the generalized method of moments (GMM) model to obtain three conclusions based on Chinese industrial industry data from 2005–2019. (1) The interaction between carbon emission reduction and cost reduction is bidirectional. A carbon emission decrease can result in persistent cost cutting, while measures in shrinking costs lead to reducing carbon emissions with lasting

Abstract:

Energy-efficient retrofitting of building envelopes is necessary to reduce global carbon emissions and to reach net-zero goals. Cooling energy demand-dominated countries in the GCC region require simple and effective strategies to reduce building sector energy loads. One such approach is using high solar reflective index (SRI) paints to retrofit building roofs and walls. However, the hot and desert conditions of the region pose a barrier to maintaining consistent radiative properties throughout their life cycle. To this extent, research is limited in the region. The novelty of this work is to

Abstract:

The combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system, which is a sustainable distributed energy system, has attracted increasing attention due to the associated economic, environmental, and energy benefits. Currently, the enforcement of carbon emission regulations has become an increasingly concerning issue globally. In this paper, a multi-objective optimization model is established to evaluate the CCHP system under two different carbon emission regulation policies in terms of economic benefit, environmental sustainability, and energy advantage. A nonlinear programming optimization model is
