Abstract:

A duct silencer was installed in the return air ductwork of a rooftop unit as part of noise mitigation in an existing building. After installation, the resulting noise levels had only been reduced by approximately half of what was calculated. This presentation will discuss the strategies the team took to investigate why the results did not match the calculations and how the team ultimately discovered the outdoor air damper settings of the rooftop unit were the cause of the noise problem.

Abstract:

The absence of an effective lightning protection system for photovoltaic (PV) systems can hinder their integration into networks. Outdoor PV installations are vulnerable to direct or indirect lightning strikes, resulting in damaging overvoltages that harm the PV structure. These systems, often situated on rooftops or open fields, face increased lightning strike risks due to their exposure compared to more sheltered setups. Lightning-induced surges can harm sensitive electrical components like panels, inverters, and wiring, leading to potential damage and downtime. The complexity of PV systems,

Abstract:

AbstractCool materials and rooftop vegetation help achieve urban heating mitigation as they can reduce building cooling demands. This study assesses the cooling potential of different mitigation technologies using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)- taking case of a tropical coastal climate in the Kolkata Metropolitan Area. The model was validated using data from six meteorological sites. The cooling potential of eight mitigation scenarios was evaluated for: three cool roofs, four green roofs, and their combination (cool-city). The sensible heat, latent heat, heat storage, 2-m ambient temp

Abstract:

Globally, cities face increasing extreme heat, impacting comfort, health, and energy consumption. Infrastructure-based heat adaptation strategies can improve these outcomes, but each strategy has a unique mix of benefits and drawbacks. Here, we apply an urbanized meteorological model (WRF) with the newly integrated multilayer BEP-Tree street tree model to dynamically downscale Earth System Model projections and a 3-D microclimate model (TUF-Pedestrian) to simulate the street-scale radiation environment impacting pedestrians. We evaluate the performance of five heat adaptation strategies (stree

Abstract:

India will experience massive urbanization in the coming decades, with the country's urban population expected to double by 2050. Climate change is a major threat to urban systems all over the world. Its consequences are expected to worsen over the next few decades. The consequences of climate changes are more in urban areas than rural due to rapid urbanization, health issue, decreasing water level and industrialization etc. Climate change consequences such as increased rainfall intensity, storm surges, temperature fluctuation and flooding are expected to have a global impact on urban health,

Abstract Air pollution, particularly particulate matter 2.5, is a significant environmental concern in Southeast Asia, with adverse effects on human health. Major sources include vehicular emissions, industrial activities, agricultural burning, and transboundary haze. 7Be and 210Pb are tracers for studying aerosol behavior. Aerosol samples were collected using a high-volume air sampler, cascade impactor, and rainwater from the rooftop of Building No.16 (34.71° N, 135.64° E) at Osaka Sangyo University. Results showed that 7Be and 210Pb-carrying aerosols were mainly attached to aerosols smaller

What are the options for these consumers within the ambit of current policies to procure solar power?

First, we investigate sustainable irrigation strategies, illustrating the trade‐offs between water conservation and soil salinization. This highlights the del

Abstract:

Because of urbanisation, surfaces of buildings and pavements have increasingly displaced green areas in urban areas. Because of this, solar energy is absorbed by roads, buildings, & rooftops, increasing the surface temperature over that of the surrounding air. This is known as an "Urban Heat Island" (UHI). Urban heat islands can worsen the quality of the environment where people live, increase energy demand, elevate ground-level ozone, and potentially raise death rates. Because of the seriousness of the situation, considerable study has been conducted, and a lot of literature on the subjec

Abstract The photocatalytic decomposition of atmospheric methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) could be valuable tools for mitigating climate change; however, to date, few photocatalyst deployment strategies have had their costs modeled. Here, we construct basic cost models of three photocatalytic CH4 and N2O decomposition systems: 1) a ground-based solar system with natural airflow over photocatalyst-painted rooftops, 2) a ground-based LED-lit system with fan-driven airflow, and 3) an aerosol-based solar system on solid particles dispersed in the atmosphere.

Abstract ‘Nature-positive’ is the term used to describe a city where nature – species and ecosystems - are being restored and regenerated rather than declining. Despite the provision of nature being elevated as a priority across Sydney (especially open space, trees and canopy cover), and despite new national Nature Positive legal reforms, there is not adequate investment in living infrastructure - trees, plants, parks and waterbodies – nor the measurement strategies to focus that investment where it is most needed. This lack of investment means we miss out on five key benefits of having more n
