Abstract:

Public buildings and other public facilities are essential for the functioning and quality of life in modern societies, but they also frequently have a significant negative impact on the natural environment. Public agencies, with their large portfolios of facilities, have faced considerable challenges in recent years in minimizing their negative environmental impacts and energy consumption and coping with shortages of financial capital to invest in new facilities and operate and maintain existing ones, while still meeting their mission goals. These range from the need to provide a quality work

Sustainability has been heightened to a new level of importance, due to the current global race for commodities and conservation of our environment. Sustainable Buildings are of particular interest since buildings are significant contributors to consumption of resources.

Abstract:

The green bond market offers investors the opportunity to take an explicit focus on sustainable investment projects. However, it is yet to be determined whether this novel asset class offers attractive yields compared to non-green bonds. To address this question, we study European green bonds and how they diverge from conventional bonds in terms of yields. Using a dataset of 88 matched pairs of European green bonds between 2015 and 2019, we document a significant negative green bond premium of -12 bps on average in the secondary market. The green bond premium is defined as the yield differenti

Since 1950, the world population has increased by more than double. The sprawling demographic shift due to continuous migration from rural to urban areas in developing countries imposes socio-economic and environmental pressures to the urban areas. Apparently, the high demand for housing and the unsustainable construction practices underlying its production in recent times constitute issues that merit the attention of low-impact green housing developments. The feasibility of such developments also lies in the effective use of low-cost green building materials and components (LCGBMCs),primarily

A second estimate is made for a CVW operating a six-month deployment with 50 percent biofuel in 2020. A premium was estimated and a sensitivity analysis was conducted to project the required reduction in costs for biofuel from 20

Procuring hardwood pulpwood during the winter months for a pulp mill in the Southeast can be difficult. Saturated soils and low soil strength make logging difficult or impossible on many sites, forcing companies to store large volumes of hardwood pulpwood in woodyards for retrieval during wet weather. Hardwood fiber readily available in large volumes on ground that is operable during wet periods at a location near the pulp mill could provide a valuable alternative wood source. Thus, the objectives of this study are to 1) develop a decision model for a manager to use to determine the feasibi

The ecological consciousness of the public gradually rises. People will use resources to maximize efficiency and reduce manufacturing waste using green building concepts are yielded. 40% of electricity consumption in the whole world which is total annual consumption of energy is by living in the buildings of residence (EPBD, 2002). The buildings in British, as an example, the annual consumption of resources a

Although the costs of green buildings have been studied in other countries, they are usually collected from questionaries for the total with certain percentages of cost increase. They do not have the costs of building components that would be difficult to understand the cost changes for green buildings. This research analyzed and compared the costs of green buildings by using five case projects. Green buildings will incur soft cost and hard cost

Abstract:

The expansion of supply chains into global networks has drastically increased the distance travelled along shipping lanes in a logistics system. Inherently, the increase in travel distances produces increased carbon emissions from transport vehicles. When increased emissions are combined with a carbon tax or emissions trading system, the result is a supply chain with increased costs attributable to the emission generated on the transportation routes. Most traditional supply chain design models do not take emissions and carbon costs into account. Hence, there is a need to incorporate emission c

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>營建工程系<br>99<br>The concept of Green Building has been widely-used for several years; however, most papers use case studies to discuss the existing buildings and their costs. Few papers discuss green building and value engineering at the planning phase. Because of that, less paper discuss databases for green building or cost analysis, even if most of them investigate the "Greenery Index" or "Ground Water Retention Index". Because of that, this study use "Green Building-aided design program" to get green building solutions. As stated above, designers not only want to know green

However, the method for evaluating the cost-benefit of GRs in a city is so far not available. This study was thus initiated to develop a benefit-cost analysis (BCA) method to evaluate major benefits of GRs for a domestic city. To implement the BCA method at the city scale, the rooftop area available for installing GRs is first estimated based on the maximal rooftop ar
