- Publication 16 August 2021 How Can Blockchain Technology Accelerate Energy Efficiency Interventions? A Use Case Comparison This paper qualitatively evaluates the application of blockchain technology for three energy efficiency use cases. To achieve the Sustainable Development Agenda, energy efficiency improvements have to double by 2030. However, the adoption of energy efficiency interventions is slow due to several market barriers. Blockchain technology is a nascent technology with the potential to address these barriers or even fundamentally change energy system designs, by enabling transparent, decentralised,…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Space utilization and activity recognition using 3D stereo vision camera inside an educational building Accurate occupancy information is imperative for the optimization of built-in environments to achieve energy savings and user comfort. Comprehending the occupancy information provides an opportunity to interpret movement patterns, circulation-flow, space usage patterns inside the building. In this paper, we designed a case study that includes experimental testbeds from the HL Linder Hall Cafeteria; a public shared space at the University of Cincinnati College of Business, United States. Based…
- Publication 16 August 2021 ¿Influyen el clima y la contaminación atmosférica en la transmisión e incidencia de la nueva enfermedad Covid19? The COVID-19 pandemic and the mobility limitations imposed to try to contain its spread have led to a drastic decrease in emissions of air pollutants and CO2. For the former, the drop in the atmospheric concentrations of the main urban air pollutants leads to a decrease in mortality attributable to air pollution. This has not been the case in the case of CO2 emissions; though they have decreased by close to 8%, that is insufficient to show a measurable impact in the context of the climate…
- Publication 16 August 2021 New pathways for organic waste in land-based farming of salmon: The case of Norway and Denmark Demand for farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has been increasing dramatically. Simultaneously, the industry faces increasingly large ecological challenges with the grow-out phase at sea. As a result, and with the aid of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) technology, firms are moving more of the production processes onto land. Thus far, the industry has treated the waste (sludge from the land-based farms) as a low-value product, and valorisation has been a low priority. Handling of waste…
