Abstract Buildings’ carbon emissions consist of embodied (EC) associated with the production and transportation materials operational (OC) generated from consumed energy during daily use. However, previous studies concentrated on either EC or OC but ignored an integrated analysis their relationships. Therefore, this paper aims to explore appropriate building envelope design solutions by examini...

Increasing awareness of climate issues in recent decades has led to new policies on buildings’ energy consumption and performance. The European Union (EU) directive 2010/31/EC, i.e., the performance buildings (EPBD), is one measures initiated achieve goals by reducing use greenhouse gas emissions building sector. EPBD required all be nearly zero-energy (nZEBs) 2021. Nearly are with a very-high-...

This paper provides an overview of existing LCA literature analyzing the environmental impacts wastewater treatment and reuses, with irrigation as a process or scenario. Fifty-nine (n = 59) papers published between 2010 2022 were reviewed to provide insights into methodological choices (goals, geographical scope, functional units, system boundaries, life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) procedure...

Cement has long been recognized as an energy- and emission-intensive construction material. production recently experienced significant growth despite its high energy consumption, resource usage, carbon emissions. This study aims to assess compare the life cycle assessment (LCA) of traditional Portland cement (CEM I) those three blended types II/B-L, CEM II/B-V, III/A), which assume mature tech...

The increase in population has increased the need for agricultural and food products, thus production should be increased. This goal may cause increases emissions environmental impacts by increasing consumption of inputs. prediction plays an important role evaluating pollutant crop production. study employed two artificial intelligence (AI) methods: adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system–fuzzy c...

The food system is responsible for critical environmental problems around the world. wine industry, having a global scale, accountable part of these impacts. Organic wines have been developing fast in past decade, nevertheless there still lack research on this vitiviniculture practice, especially productive countries outside Europe. Therefore, purpose paper to explore impacts organic Chile by u...
