Indoor Environment Design and Energy Saving Analysis of Sustainable Development Integrated with Green Building

Modern architectural design has gradually distanced itself from the actual living needs of urban residents in the process of pursuing the integration of architecture and nature. To achieve the perfect combination of sustainable ecological concepts and effective energy utilization, green buildings have become an actively pursued design concept. Unlike relying solely on high-tech means, the core goal of green buildings is to build an environmentally friendly building environment by achieving sustainable and efficient utilization of energy and resources. In the design phase, green buildings should focus on functionality and economy, and be tailored to the local economic conditions, regional characteristics, natural resources, and climate conditions of the building's location to create green buildings with unique architectural and regional characteristics. This article endeavors to furnish both theoretical underpinnings and practical directives for the indoor environment design and energy conservation efforts of green buildings. By delving into the pivotal role of indoor environments as an essential architectural component, it integrates sustainable development principles with green building practices and delves into the intricate relationship between indoor environment design and energy efficiency, thus offering valuable insights and guidance for achieving sustainable and energy-efficient indoor spaces. In this process, this article examines the energy and resource utilization benefits that green building design can achieve, as well as the specific impact of indoor environment improvement on the quality of life of residents. Through an in-depth analysis of these aspects, this article aims to provide substantial contributions to achieving the sustainable development goals of green buildings. The experimental comparison results show that in terms of natural ventilation design, compared to mechanical ventilation, the proposed scheme can achieve an annual energy cost savings of 20%.

Spatiotemporal Changes in Air Pollution within the Studied Road Segment

Environmental protection is a pivotal element of sustainable development, both essential and indispensable in the construction of smart, green cities. Road transport contributes significantly to atmospheric pollution, accounting for as much as 25% of annual emissions within the European Union (EU). To combat the adverse effects of road transport, the EU has set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from both passenger and commercial vehicles. Consequently, sustainable air pollution management has become a focal point for numerous researchers. This study continues the investigation into the distribution of air pollutants along a specific highway segment in Poland. The article addresses two primary research questions: first, the temporal and spatial variations in air pollution adjacent to a major highway in Poland, and second, whether emission levels exhibit significant annual differences and if there is a correlation between pollutant concentrations and the distance from the roadway. The findings offer valuable data on one of the principal substances polluting the air along EU transportation routes. Moreover, the analysis provides recommendations for future road infrastructure renovation projects and strategies to protect the public from harmful traffic-related pollutants, thereby supporting the development of green cities in accordance with sustainable development principles.

Energy justice and sustainable urban renewal: A systematic review of low-income old town communities

Improving living conditions, quality of public services and social safety nets in blighted and underdeveloped urban areas also are important aspects of urban renewal. In another way, achieving sustainable urban development requires more improvements. Equity, sustainability, and universality are core principles of sustainable development and should be integrated into urban renewal strategies. For instance, urban renewal in old town areas presents multiple challenges, including balancing public investment needs, social justice considerations, and environmental impacts. Studies have shown that inequalities often arise during implementation, disproportionately affecting low-income residents in old town areas. While energy justice is a key concept for reducing these inequalities during renewal process, however existing frameworks lack a multi-dimensional approach. This study proposes a comprehensive evaluation framework that combines sustainable development with energy justice principles during the renewal of old town areas. This framework aims to achieve equitable and sustainable development outcomes in renewal of old urban areas by systematically examining the unequal impacts on low-income groups and proposing equitable energy services and inclusive policies. The proposed equity evaluation framework includes two key components: 1) Main factors in existing renewal strategies, which include equitable access to energy resources, sustainable energy systems, affordability, and public participation. 2) Criteria for refining energy justice evaluation framework, which include accessibility, energy efficiency, community participation, and policy coordination. The research emphasizes the importance of fairness in providing affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy opportunities within urban renewal initiatives. This focus can provide rational perspective and reference for decision makers, thereby empowering vulnerable groups, giving equitable energy access and contributing to achieve sustainable urban development.

Towards an Urban Planning Scenario Model System—A Tool for Exploring Urban Uncertainty: A Case Study of Diaozhen, China

The ‘Urban Interaction’ project aims to develop an urban planning model system at the scale of towns or small cities consisting of three modules: growth forecast, land-use decision, and evaluation. This paper presents the framework of the model system to identify and discuss the assumptions and theoretical basis of the model system. The model system will be driven by scenario planning theory and sustainable urban development principles. It will export land-use planning based on selected urban development scenarios and urban planning theories. This paper takes Diao Town in Jinan as an example. Applying GIS spatial analysis and hierarchical analysis, this paper determines the suitability of land use and the weights of different influencing factors, combined with the land-use conflict identification model, for land-use decision-making. Finally, the assessment module verifies whether the planning scheme complies with laws and regulations to achieve an active, reactive response to uncertainty. The paper discusses the ‘uncertainty’ of urban planning and proposes a creative, flexible, and timely planning platform that allows planners and other participants to model and visualize their scenarios.

Self-adhesive fiberboards fabricated from waste bamboo powder through biological pretreatment

Using renewable and sustainable agricultural and forestry wastes to produce bio-based materials is an effective approach for significantly reducing the environmental pollution caused by petroleum-based materials such as plastics and chemical fibers. This research aims to develop a cleaning process for large-scale production of high-performance green bio-based materials without the use of any chemical binders. The mechanical properties of self-adhesive fiberboards are improved through pretreatment with white rot fungi. By pretreating bamboo powder with biological factors like sugars and laccase produced by white rot fungi under high temperature and pressure, lignin-active molecules are formed on the surface. These active molecules can reconstruct chemical bonds between multi-fiber materials, thereby exhibiting biological adhesion. The reconfiguration of lignin molecules on the material's surface also helps prevent rapid water penetration. After biological pretreatment, the surface of bamboo powder forms a concave-convex structure, effectively increasing the area of biological adhesion during hot-pressing conditions. Compared to regular bamboo powder control samples, bio-pretreated fiberboards showed an increase in modulus of rupture (MOR) by 83.33 % and modulus of elasticity (MOE) by 100.79 %. In contrast to traditional fossil-based adhesive synthetic materials, the findings of this study circumvent the emission of harmful volatiles from chemical adhesives while effectively substituting petroleum-based synthetic materials that necessitate diverse chemical additives, which are in alignment with the principles of environmental protection and sustainable development.

Recovery of Zinc and Rhenium for the Production of Zinc Perrhenates

This study outlines findings from an investigation into the development of a hydrometallurgical process for manufacturing various forms of zinc perrhenate, entirely from waste from recycling and from the Zn–Pb industry. Scraps of Re-bearing Ni-based superalloys and acidic waste, circulating zinc solutions generated during the production of Zn by the electrolytic method and which contain >45 g/dm3 of Zn, Na, Mn, and Mg, were used in the research. In the publication, the conditions for the production of three types of zinc perrhenate, i.e., Zn(ReO4)2·4H2O, Zn(ReO4)2, and Zn(ReO4)2·2H2O, are presented. As a result of the analysis of the obtained results, it was concluded that to obtain the above-mentioned forms of zinc perrhenate, zinc carbonate can be used, precipitated from acidic, waste, and multi-component solutions after their prior neutralization to pH 4.0 and partial purification from Mn, Mg, and Na using metallurgical zinc oxide. Zinc carbonate should be precipitated using Na2CO3 at pH 6.3 and subsequently purified from other impurities, i.e., Mg, Na, and Mn, using aqueous ammonia solutions. As a result, zinc carbonate was obtained, which was used in a reaction with an aqueous solution of HReO4 to produce zinc perrhenate. The precipitated forms of Zn(ReO4)2 were obtained by appropriately drying the crude and hydrated Zn(ReO4)2 to obtain its tetrahydrate, dihydrate, and anhydrous forms, respectively, using drying temperatures of 55, 135, and 185 °C. The developed technology has been submitted for a patent and is an example of a technology founded on the principles of sustainable development, with a particular emphasis on the minimalization of loss of rhenium and zinc at all stages of its realization.

Multifunctional Porous Pavement Prototype for Urban Pluvial Flood Protection: Preliminarily Findings on Contribution of Attitudes to Acceptance Willingness Toward Proposed Scientific and Engineering Solutions

Rapid urbanization and climate change correlate with an increase in frequency of flood events, globally. For many cities worldwide pluvial floods bring significant risk. Permeable/pervious paving (PePav), as an essential sustainable urban drainage technique, is one of the key environmental solutions for urban flooding. Waste and recycled materials in the construction industry for PePav production comply with the principles of circular economy and sustainable development. The influence of the human factor is well recognized in efforts to apply those solutions and make them self-sustainable. The preliminary results show that younger female students and students with lower family monthly income are prone to express more positive attitudes toward PePav generally. Students from different study groups (Departments of Psychology, Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering, and Construction Project Management) show significantly different attitudes toward PePav. Statistical models indicate that the PePav acceptance willingness can be predicted with moderate accuracy by knowing attitudes toward PePav and personal experience in construction. The contributions of the fact that someone's close person has been affected by a flood may vary depending on the type of PePav scientific and engineering solutions.

A learning-based memetic algorithm for a cooperative task allocation problem of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles in smart agriculture

Smart agriculture aligns with the principles of sustainable development, making it a crucial direction for the future agriculture. This study focuses on a cooperative plant protection task allocation problem (CPPTAP) of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with a common deadline in smart agriculture. CPPTAP permits multiple UAVs to conduct pesticide spraying on the same field. The completion time for each task fluctuates due to the cooperation among UAVs. We present a mathematical model and learning-based memetic algorithm (L-MA) to maximize the total area of the fields to be sprayed. In the evolutionary stage, mutation and repair operators based on value information are applied to balance the exploration and exploitation, while a problem-specific local search strategy is designed to enhance exploitation capability. A knowledge-based UAV allocation method (KUAM) is employed to maximize UAV utilization efficiency and minimize conflicts. Throughout the search process, Q-learning is utilized to assist the aforementioned operators and make decisions on the number of cooperative UAVs on fields. The effectiveness of L-MA is validated by comparing it against other state-of-the-art algorithms. The results demonstrate that L-MA outperforms the compared algorithms at a considerable margin in a statistical sense.

How does tourist development influence traditional mountain landscapes? A case study from the Western Beskids, Poland

In many mountainous regions, ongoing reforestation leads to the permanent shrinkage of traditional landscapes connected with past human activity. Tourism is often perceived as a measure for the protection of traditional landscapes. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of in-depth studies exploring the connection between mountain glade conservation and tourism development. This paper aimed to determine whether tourism development can prevent the reforestation of temperate mountain glades and to assess the extent of its influence on traditional glade landscapes. Based on the example of the Western Beskids (Poland), we investigated the change in the range of glades in relation to tourist development, which has not been analysed until now. Cartographic analyses were used to examine how the landscape has changed since 1983. To determine the influence of tourist development on the landscape, the tourism landscape footprint (TLF) index was calculated. Two trends were detected: reforestation in glades that are touristically utilized and the gradual tourist development of the remnants of traditional landscapes within preserved non-forested areas. The study reveals that despite tourism, reforestation within glades is continuing, and simultaneously, the share of tourist elements in the shrinking glades is increasing. In the case of areas intensively used for tourism, the traditional landscape is disappearing as it is transformed into a tourist landscape. Further studies are necessary to assess the level of tourism development that will provide traditional landscape conservation in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.

Ensuring Transparency of ESG Transformation of Corporations (Using the Example of Retail Companies)

In recent years, companies in the retail sector have begun to introduce and incorporate the principles of sustainable development into their strategies and began to publish reports on sustainable development. ESG transformation of companies in the retail industry has its own characteristics. The purpose of the work is to determine the directions of ESG transformation in retail companies, as well as tools for ensuring transparency of activities in the field of sustainable development. The methodological basis of the study was the concept of sustainable development and ESG, methods of statistical analysis, a systematic approach, scientific works of leading domestic and foreign scientists in the field of sustainable development, ESG transformation of retail companies. In the course of the work the author has identified 6 areas of ESG transformation that are most relevant and consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals and the industry specifics of the retail sector. It was revealed that there is a problem of comparability of ESG ratings and rankings from various agencies, insufficient prevalence of the practice of publishing non-financial reporting by organisations from this segment.The set of non-financial indicators proposed by the author for retail companies are grouped by areas of ESG transformation, as well as by Sustainable Development Goals. The publication of the proposed indicators in the annual report or sustainability report is intended to help management and interested stakeholders evaluate the results of ESG transformation of retail companies in more depth and detail.

Peri-urban dynamics: assessing expansion patterns and influencing factors

BackgroundPeri-urbanization, the expansion of large metropolitan centers into adjacent peri-urban regions, is a growing concern due to land scarcity and escalating housing costs. These zones, a blend of rural and urban features, blur the line between urban and rural areas, creating new landscapes. This study examines historical, present, and potential growth trends in the peri-urban area surrounding Durgapur Municipal Corporation (DMC). Analytical techniques and spatial metrics are used to track development intensity changes over time, including built-up density, Shannon’s entropy, Landscape expansion index, Average Weighted Mean Expansion Index, Annual Built-Up Expansion Rate, Built-Up Expansion Intensity Index, and Built-Up Expansion Difference Index. Landscape indices like Patch Density, Edge Density, Landscape Shape Index, Largest Patch Index, Ratio of Open Space, and Area Weighted Mean Patch Fractal are used to understand fragmentation, connectivity, and spatial relationships. The Logistic Regression Model (LRM) is used to identify influencing factors and CA-Markov modeling for future built-up areas.ResultsBetween 1991 and 2001, built-up area in the region increased significantly, primarily due to urban development near industrial zones, roadways, and mining areas. The growth was primarily concentrated in the western sector and near National Highway-2 (NH-2). Urban sprawl was a continuous trend, with the highest built-up density in the South-South-East (SSE) direction from 1991 to 2011. Additionally, a key determinant of built-up development was the distance to the city core. By 2031, the built-up area is expected to concentrate in the western and southeast regions, reaching 177.90 km2.ConclusionsThis expansion is attributed to urban development near industrial zones, roadways, mining areas, and other infrastructure. The study identifies distance to the city center as a significant influencing factor for built-up development. The results emphasize the need for inclusive urban planning methods prioritizing sustainable development principles and prudent resource management for future growth and efficient management in the DMC’s peri-urban area.

Promoting Religious Moderation through English Language Teaching: Strategies and Challenges in Islamic Educational Settings

Religious moderation aligns with the principles of sustainable development by fostering a culture of peace, justice, and inclusivity. Islamic educational settings often integrate religious values into the ELT curriculum, incorporating Islamic stories, teachings, and ethical principles into language learning materials and activities. By using this methodological approach, this research aims to provide valuable insights into effective strategies and key challenges in encouraging religious moderation through ELT in an Islamic education environment. The data used in this research were interview transcripts, focus group recordings, and documents which were then analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring themes, patterns, and insights related to strategies and challenges in encouraging religious moderation through ELT. This study adopted a qualitative research design to explore the various experiences, perspectives and practices of educators and stakeholders regarding the promotion of religious moderation through ELT. The study identified some strategies for promoting religious moderation: Incorporate Multicultural Content; Encourage Critical Thinking; Facilitate Open Dialogue; Promote Empathy and Respect; Address Misconceptions and Stereotypes; Highlight Common Values; Engage with Religious Leaders and Community Members and Empower Educators with Training. Some challenges as well were also found: Sensitivity and Cultural Context; Resistance to Change; Misinformation and Stereotypes; Balancing Academic Freedom and Sensitivity; Language Barriers; Lack of Resources and Training; Community and Parental Concerns; and Political and Social Context.

Flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams repaired with BFRP grid-TSUHDC

Due to the influence of time, load, and external environmental factors, many reinforced concrete beams have been damaged and require repair. Tailings are waste generated during mineral production, resulting in substantial environmental pollution and economic losses due to the excessive generation of tailings and low comprehensive utilization. In the UHDC, tailings replaced quartz sand, while BFRP grids itself is an environmentally friendly material. Two repair methods were evaluated in this study, Tailings Sand Ultra-High Ductile Concrete (TSUHDC) and Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) grid-TSUHDC, grounded in the principles of green and sustainable development. Five reinforced concrete beam specimens were designed and fabricated for bending performance tests and finite element simulations. The effects of different repair methods and levels of damage on the flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams were investigated. The results reveal that, compared to untreated reinforced concrete beams, both TSUHDC and BFRP grid-TSUHDC repair methods enhanced bending load-bearing capacity. However, the stiffness of specimens repaired with TSUHDC decreased when subjected to 80 % of the pre-applied failure load. When the pre-applied failure load is less than 80 %, the recommended repair approach is the use of TSUHDC for repair. For cases where the pre-applied failure load exceeds 80 %, BFRP grid-TSUHDC is the preferable option. The flexural bearing capacity formula for this type of repair method was derived by improving existing formulas, yielding prediction results in close alignment with the experimental results.

Enhanced La(III) adsorption performance and mechanism of urea-modified dolomite composite adsorbent

Dolomite, a prevalent mineral in rock formations, often coexists with various minerals, impacting their properties and typically being discarded as waste in the extraction process of other minerals. This research introduces a straightforward and effective technique for co-calcining urea with natural dolomite at 550℃, yielding a novel composite adsorbent designated as CN/xDO, where ‘x’ denotes the proportion of dolomite incorporated. During the preparation, urea promotes the conversion of dolomite to nano calcite, and the gas produced by urea pyrolysis during the calcination process has a cavitation effect on the material, enhancing its surface properties. BET analysis reveals that the specific surface area and total pore volume of CN/xDO notably surpass those of pure dolomite, with CN/0.6DO achieving 2.9479 m2/g and 0.0382 cm3/g, respectively. CN/0.6DO demonstrates an adsorption capacity of 237.91 mg/g for La(III) within 360 min at 298 K, which is 16.9 times greater than that of untreated dolomite (14.05 mg/g). The maximum adsorption capacity of CN/0.6DO for La(III) (C0 = 500 mg/L) reaches 382.94 mg/g at 308 K, exceeding the majority of adsorbents documented in the literature. The comparative analysis of batch adsorption experiments and material characterization before and after the adsorption process reveals that the mechanisms adsorption of La(III) adsorption by CN/xDO include physical adsorption, cation-π interactions, ion exchange, and complexation with oxygen-containing functional groups, especially −OH, CO32-. This study broadens the application of dolomite in adsorption and introduces a new strategy for the efficient recovery of rare earth elements from wastewater, consistent with the principles of sustainable development.

Objective: This research aims to examine the Green Space policy in Bandar Lampung City from a sustainable development perspective. This study focuses on the direction of national policy which is changing from a sustainable development orientation towards investment and how city government policies support sustainable development. Theoretical Framework: This research is based on the theory of Public Policy, Sustainable Development, and the Concept of Green Space. These theories and concepts provide a basis for understanding the research context, including public policy models and sustainable development principles. Method : This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach. The data used in normative juridical research is secondary data, including primary legal materials from statutory regulations and secondary legal materials such as books and scientific journals related to the object of study. The data analysis was carried out descriptively and qualitatively. Results and Discussion: The research results show that Green Space policy at the national level has shifted from a focus on sustainable development towards investment, which can reduce the effectiveness of fulfilling open spaces. In Bandar Lampung, existing local policies have not been able to support sustainable development efforts. This can be seen from the failure to fulfill the minimum threshold for the percentage of Green Space and policy inconsistencies that can be seen from changes in regional regulations to respond to investment but not in accordance with sustainable development goals. Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this study show that there is a need for policy reformulation that is more balanced between investment and sustainability. This research provides insight for policy makers to consider the long-term impact of Green Space policies on the environment and community welfare. Originality/Value: This research contributes to the literature with an innovative approach to evaluating Green Space policies from a sustainable development perspective.

Sustainable Development and Organizational Performance: A Study of the Imam Ali Principles in Moroccan Public Institutions

This article explores the impact of sustainable development (SD) principles from Imam Ali's Letter 53 on the performance of Moroccan public organizations. Letter 53, addressed by Imam Ali to his governor in Egypt, represents a charter of equitable governance and social justice. Despite contemporary challenges, this study focuses on five key SD variables: Population, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership, analysing their influence on organizational performance. The results show a significant positive correlation between the adoption of the Letter 53 principles and improved performance in Moroccan public organizations. Indeed, univariate and bivariate analyses reveal that these principles promote greater operational efficiency, as well as increased customer satisfaction. The sine qua non for achieving these results is the adoption of management policies based on justice and equity. Despite the obstacles, it is crucial to promote sustainable environmental practices, support solidarity actions, strengthen peace and social cohesion, and develop strategic partnerships. This study therefore highlights the relevance of Imam Ali's teachings on sustainable development and their applicability in the current context of Moroccan public organizations.

During the analysis of regulatory documentation (GOST R 70346-2022. “Green” standards. Buildings of multifamily residential “green”. Evaluation methods and criteria for design, construction and operation) methodological problems of applying the criteria of group No. 6 “Materials and resource efficiency” are studied, possible solutions are proposed, directions for further research are outlined, the impact of these issues on the complex of management of sustainable development of production systems based on the application of “green” standards in the marketing sphere is shown. In addition, the classification of building evaluation stages in terms of construction stages is given.Conclusions. Approaches to the sustainable development of production systems in the sphere of housing construction, production and application of building materials have a special significance in public policy. An example is the “green” state standard, which is adopted in 2022, its popularization including through “Dom.RF”. However, the current certification mechanism, with all its advantages and merits, has a number of limitations in its application: lack of information from the developer, especially about completed objects, lack of comprehensive systems and registers of “green” solutions and materials, insufficient regulatory mechanisms in case of conflict between environmental friendliness and economic efficiency. These limitations are analyzed in the context of the block of criteria № 6 “Materials and resource efficiency”, and possible solutions are proposed, including the development of a comprehensive system and register of solutions and materials that meet the principles of sustainable development; accumulation of optional but necessary data on the certification of materials and solutions by the developer; proportional reduction of the tax base to compensate for the additional costs arising from the use of more expensive but more environmentally friendly materials and solutions; introduction of a new system and registry of “green” solutions and materials that meet the principles of sustainable development. The authors also identify directions for future research.
