“…Previous studies on the macro environment by PESTEL analysis (Dare, 2006;Katko, 2006;Shilei & Yong, 2009;Vitkiene, 2009;Mayaka & Prasad, 2012) were generally limited to determining and categorizing the factors. Although the conceptual structure and nature of PESTEL analysis requires an integrated approach, the technical framework of PESTEL does not support this method.…”

Although the conceptual structure and nature of PESTEL (Political, Economic, Socio-cultural, Technological, Environment and Legal) analysis requires an integrated approach to analysis, the technical framework of PESTEL does not adequately support such an approach. PESTEL analysis, as it stands, mainly provides a general idea about the macro environmental conditions and situation of a company. This study presents a model to address problems encountered in the measurement and evaluation process of PESTEL analysis. The integrated structure of PESTEL factors and sub-factors were modeled by AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and ANP (Analytic Network Process) techniques. Relationships between PESTEL factors were determined by DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory). Global weights of the sub-factors were calculated using ANP. The PESTEL analysis model proposed in the study could determine the extent to which the macro environment of a company provides suitable conditions to achieve the aims of the company.

“…For the historical village of Baia e Latina (CE), it is possible to hypothesise a significant energy renewal of the urban building heritage as a whole, improving the performance of roofs and vertical perimeter walls with very basic and cost-effective technological solutions [17,18]. In reality, the most difficult parameter to improve is the share of renewable energy produced by increasingly efficient technical plants, which are designed and built so as to ensure compliance with the coverage of 50% of expected consumption for domestic hot water, heating, and cooling through the use of systems from renewable sources.…”

Energy and Seismic Recovering of Ancient Hamlets: the Case of Baia e Latina

et al. 2018

This research proposes the development of a diagnostic tool to separately inspect the energetic and seismic behaviour of buildings in the small hamlet of Baia e Latina (district of Caserta) in order to evaluate and implement retrofitting interventions from seismic, energetic, and functional points of view. Methods, approaches, and tools relating to the minimisation of seismic vulnerability and energy consumption have been increasingly used and tested in order to ensure both sustainability and safety, with a connection that may improve the performances of both cultural and environmental heritage. The diagnosis method, stemming from the energy audit and the energy imprint evaluations of the buildings system (and the envelope above all), aims to redesign the whole construction or some of its parts within an energetic framework. With reference to the seismic behaviour of building aggregates, the basic methodology that has been conceived for isolated masonry buildings through a survey form has represented the starting tool for the application of an appropriate quick evaluation form considered for the aggregated structural units of historical centres. Finally, the methodology employed is aimed at obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate for the structural units of examined masonry aggregates without neglecting their seismic behaviour, which has been assessed in terms of vulnerability and damage.

“…The engineering challenges of the present and the future are different than before; more nebulous in nature, requiring a broader and more appreciative view of the politico-socio-economic implications of technological advancement. Engineering solutions to the real world problems that we face are increasingly subject to in-depth analyses (e.g., Life-cycle analysis and Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legislative and Environmental [PESTLE] analysis), which assess their sustainability credentials, market potential and broader social acceptability before they can be considered serious contenders for societal deployment (e.g., [15,16]). As such, while we can seek comfort in the engineering practices of old, there is only so long we can or indeed should hide in our burrows and ignore the outside world.…”

Two Blind Mice: It Is Time for Greater Collaboration between Engineers and Social Scientists around the RDD & D of Industrial Technologies

Within this short communication article, we consider the value that closer and earlier collaboration between engineers and social scientists could offer the research, development, demonstration and deployment (RDD & D) of industrial technologies. We consider perspectives taken from both the social sciences and engineering in order to highlight the prejudices and misunderstandings that currently limit the extent and quality of such collaboration. It is reasoned that the complex engineering challenges of the future demand a move towards greater interdisciplinarity. Current successful approaches towards fostering interdisciplinarity within the Carbon Dioxide Utilisation (CDU) research community are then used to illustrate the benefits of employing a more holistic approach to the design and introduction of new industrial technologies. It is our hope that this article will catalyse similar collaborative research efforts within other sectors.
