Reducing Energy

One of the solutions for reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions in the construction sector is the use of building materials which have a favorable environmental impact. This is possible to achieve by using plant material, e.g., industrial hemp, which absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide during the growth. Instead of cement as a binder there are used alternatively clay or lime modified with industrial waste in the form of pozzolans. The paper presents the possibility of using industrial hemp in the production of composite based on modified hydrated lime. It describes the basic properties of the sample composites such as compressive strength and thermal conductivity based on literature review. The article describes the way of preparing the mixture and the possibility of using the composite for the construction of walls using different techniques.

AbstractThe energy–environment–growth nexus has been examined for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, mainly using time series data. However, the important role of renewable energy and population has largely been ignored in previous studies. As such, this study is conducted to investigate a causal link between renewable energy usage, population, carbon dioxide emissions, and economic growth. In addition, a relatively new and advanced panel vector autoregressive model and the Granger non-causality test for heterogeneous panels are utilized with a sample of seven ASEAN countries for almost three decades since 1990. Key findings from this paper are as follows. First, renewable energy usage responds to population growth and leads to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Second, economic growth and renewable energy usage explain a substantial proportion of the change in energy consumption. Third, a bidirectional Granger causality does exist in each pair among energy consumption, economic growth and CO2 emissions. We argue that moderating population growth and extending renewable energy usage are vital to achieving sustainable economic growth in the ASEAN region.

As the Chinese government is committed to reducing peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutral by 2060, it is crucial to get this target by reducing energy consumption in super-high buildings. The running time of mechanical ventilation systems could be cut down by utilizing natural ventilation through windows in specific periods. In order to improve the performance of natural ventilation effectively, the study on the characteristics of window forms in super tall buildings is put forward. In this paper, the effects of different window types on natural ventilation in super high-rise buildings were investigated. Field investigation and field tests were carried out in this research. The results show that the narrow and long windows can provide a better ventilation effect. This study provides some suggestions for architects to select the window opening form in super high-rise buildings.
