The need for UN climate change policy reformation
Future Cities and Environment - Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 1-13 - 2016
This paper endeavours to understand the climate change phenomenon and identify measures taken to contain it. It discusses global warming causes and consequences and assesses effectiveness of the United Nations (UN) polices following failure of the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In pursuing this course of action, this paper utilizes data collected from East Africa region. Key is...... hiện toàn bộ
A simple and effective model for prediction of effective thermal conductivity of vacuum insulation panels
Future Cities and Environment - Tập 1 - Trang 1-8 - 2015
The excellent thermal insulation performance of vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) make them widely applied in energy conservation fields, especially in buildings engineering. This research work proposes a simple, yet extremely effective, alternative model for prediction of the effective thermal conductivity (ETC.) of VIPs. The ETC. of VIPs is function of the thermal conductivity of the core material...... hiện toàn bộ
Development of Low-cost indigenous filtration system for urban sullage: assessment of reusability
Future Cities and Environment - Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 1-8 - 2016
Treated sullage water could be the answer to urban water scarcity. In this study, urban sullage water was subjected to various tests to determine a number of physiochemical parameters, heavy metal content and coliform count. Obtained results were compared with the Dhaka Water and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) water samples. The sullage water was then treated using a proposed filtration system with in...... hiện toàn bộ

Urban sprawl and growth management – drivers, impacts and responses in selected European and US cities
Future Cities and Environment - Tập 2 - Trang 1-13 - 2016
Urban growth management has become a common term to circumscribe strategies and tools to regulate urban land use in metropolitan areas. It is particularly used to counteract negative impacts of urban sprawl but also to frame future urban development. We discuss recent challenges of urban growth in 6 European and 2 US American city-regions. The paper compares the urban development focusing on a qua...... hiện toàn bộ
Đánh giá tính khả thi kinh tế của việc áp dụng hệ thống trigeneration tại một khách sạn nhỏ Dịch bởi AI
Future Cities and Environment - Tập 2 - Trang 1-9 - 2016
Năng lượng là yếu tố không thể thiếu cho mọi hoạt động của con người. Giao thông, sản xuất công nghiệp, thương mại, truyền thông, v.v. phụ thuộc vào khả năng cung cấp năng lượng. Truyền thống, người tiêu dùng đáp ứng nhu cầu năng lượng của họ bằng cách mua điện và nhiên liệu từ các công ty phân phối. Đối với việc sản xuất năng lượng điện mà người tiêu dùng tiêu thụ, một phần lớn được sản xuất tại ...... hiện toàn bộ
Quantify the energy and environmental benefits of implementing energy-efficiency measures in China’s iron and steel production
Future Cities and Environment - Tập 1 - Trang 1-13 - 2015
As one of the most energy-, emission- and pollution-intensive industries, iron and steel production is responsible for significant emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutants. Although many energy-efficiency measures have been proposed by the Chinese government to mitigate GHG emissions and to improve air quality, lacking full understanding of the costs and benefits has created barriers a...... hiện toàn bộ
Sustainable urbanism: towards a framework for quality and optimal density?
Future Cities and Environment - Tập 2 - Trang 1-13 - 2016
The question of density is closely connected to urbanization and how our cities may evolve in the future. Density and compactness are two closely related but different criteria, both relevant for sustainable urban development and the transformation of cities; however, their relationship is not always well understood. While a high degree of compactness is desirable, too much density can be detrimen...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of building modelling assumptions and methods for urban scale heat demand forecasting
Future Cities and Environment - Tập 3 - Trang 1-13 - 2017
Building energy evaluation tools available today are only able to effectively analyse individual buildings and usually either they require a high amount of input data or they are too imprecise in energy predictions at a city (district) scale because of too many assumptions made. In this paper, two tools based on 3D models are compared to see whether there is an approach that would probably be able...... hiện toàn bộ
