Energy and water efficiency in LEED: How well are LEED points linked to climate outcomes?LEEDGreen buildingsWater-energy nexusClimate changeBuildings contribute to climate change and other environmental harms, largely through resource use. Reducing demand for resources like energy and water has become ...
In the WEN, each step has a reasonable effect on the overall system efficiency. Such as the purification processes which depend on both the quality and quantity of water. It also includes energy for water purification purposes. Almost all processes involve the flow of energy which can be optimi...
This has required planners to shift towards integrated and innovative energy and water efficiency solutions.rnTo achieve integrated solutions, planners need to apply systems thinking. This may involve considering energy and water use both within the traditional boundary (i.e. within the transport and ...
Via specific acid etching, the authors report the production of spatially differentiated Bi4Ti3O12 nanosheets to accelerate photogenerated charge transfer and separation for effective water splitting in a one-step excitation system with a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 0.1%. ...
COPENHAGEN, May 18 (Xinhua) -- Ahead of the International Energy Agency' (IEA) 7th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency to be hosted by the small Danish town of Sonderborg between June 7 and June 9, local business and political leaders have expressed a desire for Denmark to form an...
Nanotexturing enables perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells with 29.8% efficiency Introducing nanotextured interfaces simultaneously increases the light-harvesting ability, optoelectronic properties and fabrication yield of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. In this way, the efficiency limit of conventional ...
Various technologies are being worked on, with varying degrees of success, but the benchmark is pumped hydro storage, partly because of its high round-trip efficiency: the proportion of the energy stored in this way that can later be extracted is around 80 percent. ...
Another typical example is the industrial symbiosis practice in Ulsan industrial area, which can reduce the overall GHG emissions and improve the resource utilization efficiency (Kim et al., 2018; Park and Park, 2014). Establishing industrial symbiosis network in an industrial park by integrating ...
Gao et al. suggested that biogas yield was suppressed when DS was 1.0 M − 1.5 M NaCl solution since high OLR of AnOMBR had little positive effect on efficiency of AD and salinity built-up in the bioreactors was exacerbated [23]. With regard to low DS concentration, the limited OLR ...
and efficiency, the country will continuously promote technological progress, lower costs, enhance competitiveness, phase out subsidies and give a greater role to market forces, speed up key technological innovation, and warrant the security, stability and reliability of the industrial and supply chains...
