“…The nodes are successfully installed and the sensors captured the data and with the help of GPRS module, the data is transferred to Openstack cloud and Web server. The concentration of CO2 is sensed by MG-811 sensor and the collected data is transformed into the understandable format using the equation (1) and equation (2). Similarly, the concentration of CH4 is sensed by TGS-2600 and the sensed data is translated by the normalized form using the equation 3and (4).…”

Chennai is one of the oldest metropolitan city in India which consists of 15 zones and more than 200 wards. Chennai has the population of more than 8 million people and more than 20 tons of garbage collected and dumped into the two of the dumpyards Kodunkaiyur and Perungudy. These two dumpyards are catering the needs of the garbage and landfills collected from these zones, in which they are used to burn and disposed. The burning of waste is resulted into emission of higher amount of CO2. The decayed waste is one of the source for generating Methane and other greenhouse gases. This is dangerous for human lives and affects the environment. There is no such system has available to detect the CO2 and CH4 level automatically at these dumpyards. If a system automatically detects the level of CO2 and CH4 and make it available in a public domain, it will be helpful to the city administration to take the precautionary steps. Therefore, the need of the hour is to design a cloud enabled IoT based system to monitor the level of CO2 and CH4 and upload these data in the cloud for further processing. The sensor is installed in 20 of different places of these two dumpyard for monitoring the level of CO2 and CH4. The data is collected and uploaded in the cloud. The open source cloud platform Openstack is used to store all the recorded data into the cloud. The webpage www.chennaighgemissions.in is designed and the sensed data is available for public use. The system is successfully implemented and tested, and the test result is promising.

“…Since consumption-based and embodied emissions in trade have been extensively studied (Hung, Hsu, and Cheng 2019;Mendelsohn 2010;Sakai and Barrett 2016;Tamiotti et al 2009), many methodological approaches have been developed, such as Material Flow Analysis (MFA) and Input-Output Analysis (IOA). The two methods have different system boundaries and data scope.…”

Introduction: The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is an important cooperative framework that increasingly affects the global economy, trade, and emission patterns. However, most existing studies pay insufficient attention to consumption-based emissions, embodied emissions, and non-CO2 greenhouse gases (GHGs). This study constructs a GHG emissions database to study the trends and variations in production-based, consumption-based, and embodied emissions associated with BRI countries. Outcome: We find that the per capita GHG emissions of BRI countries are lower than the global average but show significant variation within this group. We also find that trade-embodied emissions between BRI countries and China are growing. As a group, BRI countries are anet exporter of GHGs, with a global share of net export emissions of about 20%. In 2011, nearly 80% of GHG export emissions from BRI countries flowed to non-BRI countries, and nearly 15% flowed to China; about 57% of GHG import emissions were from non-BRI countries, and about 38% were from China. Conclusion: Therefore, this study concludes that the BRI should be used to coordinate climate governance to accelerate and strengthen the dissemination and deployment of low-emissions technologies, strategies, and policies within the BRI so as to avoid a carbon-intensive lock-in effect.

“…The construction sector, as a whole, is responsible for about 42% of European energy consumption and 35% of CO 2 emissions [4,5]. The reduction of energy consumption is currently one of the main priorities at international level and the building industry represents one of the sectors that can make an important contribution to saving energy and achieving the objectives of energy efficiency [6][7][8][9]. Taking into account these evaluations, the European Union is moving the construction market in a more ecological direction with the aim of achieving a 20% reduction in global energy consumption by 2020; in fact, many designers are taking into consideration new sustainable technological solutions [10].…”

The growing diffusion of cross-laminated timber structures (CLT) has been accompanied by extensive research on the peculiar characteristics of this construction system, mainly concerning its economic and environmental benefits, lifecycle, structural design, resistance to seismic actions, fire protection, and energy efficiency. Nevertheless, some aspects have not yet been fully analysed. These include both the knowledge of noise protection that CLT systems are able to offer in relation to the possible applications and combinations of building elements, and the definition of calculation methods necessary to support the acoustic design. This review focuses on the main acoustic features of CLT systems and investigate on the results of the most relevant research aimed to provide key information on the application of acoustic modelling in CLT buildings. The vibro-acoustic behaviour of the basic component of this system and their interaction through the joints has been addressed, as well as the possible ways to manage acoustic information for calculation accuracy improvement by calibration with data from on-site measurements during the construction phase. This study further suggests the opportunity to improve measurement standards with specific reference curves for the bare CLT building elements, in order to compare different acoustic linings and assemblies on the same base. In addition, this study allows to identify some topics in the literature that are not yet fully clarified, providing some insights on possible future developments in research and for the optimization of these products.
