- Publication 16 August 2021 Engineering skills and knowledge related to nZEB construction The buildings sector is the largest energy-demanding and polluting sector in the global economy. The implementation of nearly Zero Energy Buildings contributes to reducing energy use and climate change. To support this construction there is a need for educating professionals with the required skills and competencies on energy-efficient buildings. This paper reports on the necessary knowledge to be acquired by engineers to deliver nZEB projects. Here, we identify the entire set of nZEB features…

- Publication 16 August 2021 Reducing the energy use of video gaming: energy efficiency and gamification Video games have environmental impacts due to their energy consumption, which drives climate change, and life cycle issues related to the equipment used for gaming and for the distribution of games – for example extraction of raw materials, manufacturing, and disposal at the end of life. However, video games also have a powerful influence on people’s lifestyles, and through gamification people can be influenced to adopt pro-environment behaviour. Therefore, this brief looks at energy use in…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Environmental sustainability of data centres: A need for a multi-impact and life cycle approach This issue brief uses examples to showcase the substantial environmental impacts of data centres stemming from other life cycle stages than their operations and calls for the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to assess and address such impacts.
