The central heating model of a residential area in the suburb of Xi’an city was established to make a comparative study on central heating by different heat sources (natural gas boiler, coal boiler and biomass boiler). In the study, the method of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation was used to compare the central heating method with different heat sources from the aspects of economy and environmental impact. The results showed that, with the prerequisite of biomass boiler technology’s further advancement, developing biomass boiler heating technology on a large scale was feasible considering biomass

Abstract:

With the continuous development of the social economy, residents living in rural China pay more attention to the heating quality and require a comfortable and healthy indoor thermal environment in winter. The existing traditional heating methods cannot meet the high-quality heating demands. Although the new heating methods based on clean energy can satisfy the needs of residents in terms of energy saving, environmental protection and thermal comfort, they have not been widely used due to their high initial investment, the misunderstanding of principal functions and the perceived difficulty of

The study is based on in-depth interviews and home tours with occupants living in smart homes in Denmark. The results suggest that (1) practical knowledge, (2) notions of being in control, and (3) temporal aspects of everyday life are of specifi

Abstract:

AbstractThe aims of the paper are to identify and assess the determinants of transition to renewable and sustainable energy development in Azerbaijan and Poland. Both countries have a clear target to increase the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the gross final energy consumption, i.e. Poland in the National Energy and Climate Plan for the years 2021–2030 declares that it wishes to achieve 21–23% by 2030 (total consumption in electricity, heating and cooling as well as for transport purposes). But there are currently significant producers and consumers of conventional energy carriers

Recently, ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) principles have been given an important role in the agenda of oil and gas companies – this is an actively developing global trend in the modern business environment. One of its key aspects is a responsible attitude to the environment, increasing the priority of solving environmental problems arising from the extraction of hydrocarbons. A significant environmental problem is, in particular, pollution of freshwater horizons during oil production due to their poor-quality insulation during well cementing.

Abstract:

This article offers a critical assessment of Loic Wacquant’s influential advanced marginality framework with reference to research undertaken on a London public/social housing estate. Following Wacquant, it has become the orthodoxy that one of the major vectors of advanced marginality is territorial stigmatisation and that this particularly affects social housing estates, for example via mass media deployment of the ‘sink estate’ label in the UK. This article is based upon a multi-method case study of the Aylesbury estate in south London—an archetypal stigmatised ‘sink estate.’ The article bri

Abstract:

Around 35% of the total housing stock of the European Union is more than half a century old. The shortage of funds for new construction, combined with rapidly changing economic, social, and technological factors, has led to significant obsolescence. Additionally, this situation makes it difficult to satisfy the owners’ energy, functional, and socio-economic needs. This research aims to develop an innovative retrofit approach that brings multiple benefits to assessing retrofit designs for social housing, with specific emphasis on volumetric envelope additions toward the nearly zero energy build

Abstract:

Fire has been an important part of the Earth system for over 350 Myr. Humans evolved in this fiery world and are the only animals to have used and controlled fire. The interaction of mankind with fire is a complex one, with both positive and negative aspects. Humans have long used fire for heating, cooking, landscape management and agriculture, as well as for pyrotechnologies and in industrial processes over more recent centuries. Many landscapes need fire but population expansion into wildland areas creates a tension between different interest groups. Extinguishing wildfires may not always be

The aging of the population is the most striking demographic process in Lithuania and other Western world countries. Elderly rural residents, which are the consumers of the public goods and the providers of them at the same time, become increasingly important element of rural vitality. That’s the reason the scientific community pays more and more attention on various aspects of life of older people in rural areas: the quality of life, social services, sociality and others. The purpose of this article is to analyze one dimension of the life quality of older rural residents – the changes in livi

Existing treatment modalities for glaucoma, including pharmacological therapy, lasers, surgery and shunts, are all associated with shortcomings. Ultrasonic coagulation of the ciliary body with pinpoint precision using high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) enables significant reduction of aqueous inflow and intraocular pressure (IOP). Energy is focused through non-optically transparent media with controlled energy absorption, reducing effects on adjacent tissues. Energy deposition and tissue heating at the focus site do not depend on tissue pigmentation, thus improving predictability. Curren

Abstract:

The answer to covering the energy demand of society by increasing the share of renewables must come from the conjunction of several technologies. A preliminary study on the feasibility of anaerobic digestion in residential housing and buildings was carried out, considering a mix of novel and traditional technologies. Different scenarios were evaluated for developed and developing countries, considering small communities and single housing configurations. Anaerobic digestion produces biogas to be used for cooking or heat production, thus aiding in covering the energy demand of residents. There

Technical analysis was used to analyze the roasting of molybdenum concentrate on the basis of thermal balance test of rotary furnaces used for Roasting, and the results indicate that, on the condition of commercial production, the Roasting of MoS2 can occur spontaneously because the heat of reaction is so much that proper cooling measures should be adopted in case overheating happens. According to above analysis, carbon-free roasting technology of molybdenum concentrate was proposed in this paper.

Purpose – Building owners are encouraged to reduce the energy consumption both in order to contribute to national energy saving goals and to reduce the costs of heating and operation of buildings. However, it is important to pursue the most optimal strategy to achieve cost-effective energy use while maintaining other values. Building managers often do not have the time or expertise to make a proper evaluation of the available options, hence there is a need for practical methodologies for evaluation of renovation alternatives.
