Abstract:

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are widely recognized as an important part of the economy, particularly important in countries like Mexico, where SMEs make up almost 90% of the industry. However these SMEs do not consider their impact on the environment and surrounding communities to be a priority, and lack the proper information with regards to how to reduce it. The research presented in this thesis sets out to explore the implementation of Sustainable Design in Mexican SMEs, through the use of a guidebook in the form of a web based tool. This tool, tailored to the specific needs of the M

Abstract:

Skanska is one of the leading construction companies in Sweden when it comes to sustainable construction. Buildings are responsible for 40 % of both the global energy consumption and the global resources. With the current demand on housing, the building pace needs to increase whilst improving on sustainability. The level of industrialisation in the construction sector is still low compared to other sectors. Prefabricated components such as walls or slabs are common and during the last decade, prefabricated bathroom modules (henceforth referred as pods) have been introduced and are now used qui

Abstract:

Nowadays, with concerns about environmental and health issues, the awareness of more environmentally friendly and sustainable waste disposal is growing. However, due to the widespread disposal of waste items in the fashion field, such as landfills and incineration, the problems caused by these disposal methods cannot meet people’s sustainable needs for waste treatment. Therefore, the project is based on consumers, focusing on the sustainable treatment of used garments, and provides some possibilities for solving problems related to other types of used products. In order to achieve this goal,

Abstract:

This thesis aims to prove the concept that the design of a sustainable electricity system requires generator deployment within the transmission grid to be co-optimized and integrated with a national electricity policy, which adheres to the constraints of global sustainability. To combat the main human activities which jeopardize total species well-being and global sustainability at large, human appropriated net primary productivity must be reduced by a factor 4,45 and carbon emissions by a factor 1,15 through to 2030. Incorporating these constraints into a high-level electricity policy model,

Abstract:

If you are living in Sweden, you´re likely to consume around 15 kg textile every year (Palm, 2011). Of those 15 kg, 10.5 kg are most likely produced in Asia (IPCC, 2014). When producing textile, greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are emitted. These greenhouse gases are a big cause for the global warming and are having a direct effect on people. 17% of all deaths in China 2015 could be correlated to polluted air (Rohde & Muller, 2015). If people knew the consequences of their consumption it´s in our opinion that they would consume less. More awareness leads to less consumption

Abstract:

The building industry is identified as the largest single contributor to climate change, due to extensive consumption of natural resources and the discharge of high volumes of carbon emissions. It is consequently imperative for the whole sector to work towards sustainable design and construction. Although structural engineers have the greatest potential to enhance buildings’ sustainability by means of structural optimisation and/or material efficiency, they often play a restricted role in the sustainable design of a project. While many studies separately investigate the eco-friendly potentials

This study focuses on the needs and the perception of ethical fashion leaders for the design of sustainable garments.

The environmental impact of human behaviour on the design, construction and operation of buildings is often overlooked, frequently resulting in sub optimal performance over the lifecycle of the building (credibility gap and value-action gap).

This research overcomes these deficiencies by integrating eco-design approaches across all phases of product life cycle. These approaches were applied and tested in two case studies, whic

Abstract:

Humanity confronts an existential threat without historic precedent. Environmental pressures have reached such intensity and pace of change that the earth system may be irreversibly tipped into a new and unpredictable state. The emerging global reality is, in turn, redefining overall conditions for business success. Addressing these challenges both demands and brings great opportunities for innovation. An important and sometimes neglected aspect of innovation is the design or redesign of business models, which has been identified as a greater source of lasting competitive advantage than new pr

Abstract:

<p> Humankind’s relationship with water began before our inception. Our very existence and evolution depended on it, as all life on our blue planet does. However, over time and perhaps more notably since the dawn of the industrial revolution, this relationship has shifted—changed. Riverfronts became dominated by railroads and industry severing access to the water in our urban environments. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the neighborhood of Manchester experienced further separation when the neighborhood was divided in two by a raised, walled highway and the industrial riverfront was re

Abstract:

Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone<br>This thesis seeks to develop an alternative sustainable design for the CareLink of Jackson medical facility. Through a thorough analysis of the structure, community, environment, and user interaction within and around the building, a complete understanding of the facility's needs, successes and failures were composed. Based on this analysis, an alternative design was then proposed of which incorporates improvements to the building's green space, solar utilization, and social integration. This final design analysis and recommendation can be used

Abstract:

Creating the built environment seems to require the destruction of the natural environment. The impact of a building on the environment goes far beyond the space that was cleared to make way for it. Humans require resources (energy, water, materials) to continue to live, work and play in the buildings that we have created. Reducing the impact of ever-enlarging human settlements is necessary to protect the environment in which we rely so much. The Subiaco Sustainable Demonstration Home (SSDH) is a collaborative effort between a local council and the building industry to create a house that u
