Defining Parameters for Urban-Environmental Quality Assessment

Defining Parameters for a Quality Daylight Simulation Validation Dataset

As one part of a broader validation study, this paper examines the many aspects of a validation dataset for daylight simulation and their likely contributions to uncertainty in simulation results. It uses two complementary empirical datasets: one, a simple test cell in Berkeley California and the other, a complex Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) on Isle de La Reunion. The study aims to reveal th...

Fuzzy Wastewater Quality Index Determination for Environmental Quality Assessment under Uncertain and Vagueness Conditions

Utilization of water in different parts of industrial life cycles brings a huge concern on environmental water and wastewater pollutions. In this research, environmental quality assessment of wastewater is studied using fuzzy logic. Fuzzy appliance is due to existance of statistical considerations (including standard deviations), various uncertainties, non-linearity and complexity of functions....

Urban, agricultural, and environmental protection practices for sustainable water quality

Sustainable water management often emphasizes water resource quantity, with focus on availability and use practices. However, only a subset of the available water may be usable when also considering water quality. Water quality management is examined within three broad sectors—urban, agriculture, and environmental systems—to investigate how water quality sustainability (WQS) is defined by each ...

Environmental Impact Assessment for Urban Planning and Development Using Gis

Cites are the magnet for the growth of the social, economic and political development of the country. It has a power for the development of large-scale and smallscale industries, educational institutions, administrative offices, public and commercial establishments etc. In turn it attracts more migration from the rural area to the urban area, or shifting from one urban center to another urban c...
