Embodied Carbon Footprint of Existing Malaysian Green Homes
Part and parcel of building green homes (GHs) with favorable thermal comfort (TC) is to design and build with reduced carbon footprint (CF) from embodied energy in the building envelope and reduced operational CF overall. Together, the environmental impact of GHs can be reduced significantly. Nevertheless, there is still a need to identify the base CF value for Malaysian GHs and this can be don...
متن کاملEmbodied carbon budget accounting system for calculating carbon footprint of large hydropower project
Large hydropower project (LHP) is now the most important renewable and low-carbon source for electricity generation, carbon footprint calculation is crucial for it. We established an embodied carbon budget accounting system for LHP to calculate its actual carbon footprint. In additional to traditional carbon emission from plant construction, the accounting system included two new items in the c...
متن کاملFunctionalized carbon nanotubes and graphene-based materials for energy storage.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or graphene-based nanomaterials functionalized by different strategies have attracted great attention for energy storage due to their large specific surface area, high conductivity, and good mechanical properties. This feature article presents an overview of the recent progress in the functionalization of CNTs and graphene-based materials for energy storage applications ...
متن کاملCarbon Footprint Reduction based Smart Path Selection and Data Transmission Practices
The carbon footprints define the release of the carbon dioxide in the environment in the wake of the enormous practices. The networking devices consume the larger amount of the energy, which can be significantly reduced by using the energy efficient mechanisms. The carbon emission is responsible for the green house impact, which is the primary reason for the rise in the temperature on the earth...
متن کاملDistributed computing for carbon footprint reduction by exploiting low-footprint energy availability
Low carbon footprint energy sources such as solar and wind power typically suffer from unpredictable or limited availability. By globally distributing a number of these renewable sources, these effects can largely be compensated for. We look at the feasibility of this approach for powering already distributed data centers in order to operate at a reduced total carbon footprint. From our study w...
