“…Unfortunately, there is no sufficient quantitative data to model these four factors. Therefore, this study adopted the standard logistic growth curve (S-curve) approach that has been used for centuries to project future scenarios for many application domains, including ecology, medicine, chemistry, physics, linguistics, agriculture, economics, and sociology [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52] to project the growth curves for digital adoption. Equation ( 3), gives the standers logistic growth curve, where f (t) represents the parameter of interest at time t, t • represents t values of the sigmoid's midpoint, L represents the supremum of f (t), and k represents the steepness of the curve.…”

This paper presents a novel approach to identifying reskilling requirements, job merging pathways, and a tentative timeline for transforming offshore oil and gas drilling occupations amid the fourth industrial revolution (industry 4.0). The proposed algorithm focuses on potential job merging due to technological adoption. It introduces a scaling factor named digital readiness level to incorporate modulation factors (e.g., cost of development and deployment of new technologies, labour market dynamics, economic benefits, regulatory readiness, and social acceptance) that act as catalysts or hindrances for technology adoption. A feature-based approach is developed to assess the similarities between occupations, while a mathematical model is developed to project automation trajectories for each job under investigation. These facilitate the consideration of potential job merging scenarios and the associated timeline. Since technology adoption depends on the industry, region, occupation, and stakeholder's ability to manage the transformation, the proposed algorithm is presented as a case study on Canadian offshore oil and gas drilling occupations. However, this algorithm and approach can be applied to other industries or occupation structures. The proposed algorithm projects that the total number of personnel on board (POB) in a typical offshore drilling platform will be reduced to six by 2058. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the robustness of the proposed algorithm against variations in the feature values and weighting factors. It was found that when changing feature values and weighting factors up to ±20% of their original values, only one job that remains after 2058 follows three different job merging pathways, while others remain unchanged. Even the job that followed three different pathways was composed of the same source jobs compared to the corresponding job in the baseline results.Note to Practitioners-This research is inspired by the ongoing digital transformation initiatives and their socioeconomic impact.

“…Different types and designs of solar collectors are available to meet specific application requirements and building environments. The most common types include flat plate collectors (FPC), evacuated tube collectors (ETC) and parabolic trough collectors (PTC) [16]. Figure 2 A typical flat plate collector is designed to operate under low temperature conditi As a result, the heated fluid it produces is primarily used in domestic applications, as providing hot water or space heating in homes.…”

Buildings account for a significant proportion of total energy consumption. The integration of renewable energy sources is essential to reducing energy demand and achieve sustainable building design. The use of solar energy has great potential for promoting energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of energy consumption in buildings. This study examines the applications of photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies in the field of architecture, demonstrating the huge potential of solar energy in building applications. To ensure a fresh and thorough review, we examine literature that encompasses the advancements made in the utilization of solar energy in buildings over the past decade. The key factors to consider in this study are reliability, performance, cost and aesthetics in real applications of photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies in the field of architecture, which have a significant impact on people’s acceptance of solar energy technology. Recent developments in feasible and effective optimization solutions for solar energy technologies are summarized. Accurate and convenient simulation techniques are also summarized for reference. The results show that the rapid progress of BIPV systems is fueled by advancements in three crucial areas: enhancing solar cell and module efficiency, reducing manufacturing costs and achieving a competitive levelized cost of electricity. The results can provide researchers with a reference for understanding recent technological developments in the integration of solar energy into buildings.
