“…Wood is a low-carbon building material, and using wood instead of concrete during construction can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 14.8 kg CO 2 -eq per sqm/year (Sandanayake et al, 2018). However, compared to stone, modern synthetic materials have lower production costs, better environmental protection, and superior thermal insulation performance, making them more suitable for energy saving and thermal regulation of buildings (Anjum et al, 2022).…”

Climate change, resource depletion, and biodiversity decline have prompted the construction industry to seek more sustainable solutions. While high-tech and often high-cost technologies and equipment support progress toward more sustainable built form, the sustainability performance of historical and vernacular buildings should also be reviewed. These buildings may offer advantages that are “hidden in plain sight.” This research focuses on the use of building information modeling technology to model and simulate a historical Chinese courtyard building. The outcomes of the simulation were evaluated using the green building council of Australia’s green star rating criteria to provide quantitative results. At the same time, relevant literature was explored to obtain a qualitative perspective. The final results indicate that courtyard buildings can serve as useful references for contemporary building design and retrofitting. The choice of building materials offers designers effective ideas for designing sustainable buildings. Courtyards can enhance ventilation, cooling, humidity control, light exposure, and connectivity to outdoor areas while ensuring privacy. In developing countries, this approach may be a viable way to promote sustainable development and energy conservation.

“…Maintaining a healthy ecosystem necessitates the degradation and prevention of harmful pollutants from spreading (76). However, determining the species involved in biodegradation processes in a natural environment is challenging (77). Therefore, the development of an artificial microbiome containing functionally specialized species is being pursued under well-defined conditions based on interactions (78).…”

Climate change has imposed a significant struggle for survival most of the Earth’s species, highlighting the urgent need for a healthy and secure environment. Recent scientific investigations have primarily concentrated on the development and use of microorganisms as powerful biotechnological tools to address the escalating pollution that poses a severe threat to life. But this microorganisims long-term effects on biodiversity and ecosystems remain a subject of inquiry. In this comprehensive review, we aim to thoroughly evaluate the effects of microorganisms on the general ecosystem and critically assess the use of existing biotechnological tools developed to combat climate-related challenges. By shedding light on the potential implications, this review strives to contribute to a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between microorganisms, ecosystems, and climate change mitigation.

“…Tarik Ozkahraman and Bolatturk (2006) argued that the use of tuff stones for facing buildings in cold climates zones such as the Isparta region is beneficial for energy conservation (Tarik Ozkahraman and Bolatturk, 2006). Anjum et al (2022) reviewed the thermophysical properties of rocks under the influence of moisture and temperature (Anjum et al, 2022). Medjelekh et al (2016) studied Algeria's thermal and hygric inertia of stone houses.…”
