Energy policy establishes guidelines and objectives for the production, distribution, and consumption of energy resources. It involves both direct and indirect policies designed to persuade businesses to alter their behaviors. Countries typically create energy policies tailored to their interests and priorities, such as decarbonization, system reliability, resource diversification, technology export potential, economic costs or electricity…

Climate change mitigation entails taking steps to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by replacing fossil fuel use with renewable energy or altering infrastructure to increase energy efficiency. Earth’s natural systems are self-balanced; however, human activities, including fossil fuel burning and deforestation, are contributing to an increase in heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. Climate change mitigation…

Green buildings provide many cost-effective and beneficial advantages to both the environment and their occupants, including energy cost savings and improved building performance. With pandemic attention on building efficiency increasing and rising energy prices mounting, green construction appears poised for growth. Building green begins with choosing sustainable materials. Products made with sustainable content foster local…

Mix-use development projects offer residential redevelopers a diversified revenue stream while mitigating investment risk. Furthermore, mix-use developments promote sustainable lifestyles while decreasing traffic congestion making them desirable among homebuyers. Residents living above ground-level businesses can save time and money by visiting a one-stop shop for daily needs, which encourages walking or bicycling instead of driving,…

An effective TOD design increases sustainable transit ridership, revitalizes neighborhoods, enhances regional competitiveness and enhances quality of life; all while mitigating economic, social and environmental costs associated with sprawl. TOD locations tend to command higher property values due to the proximity of services, as well as reduced automobile and parking costs. Creating Walkable Neighborhoods Transit-oriented…

Sustainable urban infrastructure refers to all of the engineered facilities, utilities and systems necessary for daily life in cities. Research in this field centers around quality growth while simultaneously improving energy, transportation, water usage and building sustainability. Cities that embrace sustainability can reduce carbon emissions and conserve resources while simultaneously creating healthier and more livable…

Energy efficiency is an accessible, low-impact way to mitigate climate pollution and meet our energy goals. Furthermore, it improves economics of clean energy transitions while making utilities more resilient against market volatility and fuel price fluctuations. Environmentalism can help families avoid high energy bills and save on health care expenses associated with pollution. Buildings Energy…

Sustainable development seeks to balance economic growth, social well-being and environmental protection. This requires taking great care in managing Earth’s limited natural resources for future generations’ needs. Equality means ensuring all have access to decent work, high quality health care and education services, and responsibly using natural resources while limiting pollution. Environment Environment plays a…

Smart cities take an integrated approach to city logistics by collecting valuable data such as weather and traffic to optimize energy use, utilities usage, safety standards, transportation arrangements and waste disposal systems. From networked street lights to driverless cars, technologies help people save time by improving efficiency in a variety of ways – such as…

Smart grid technology will strengthen our electric power system’s resilience to storms, natural disasters and terrorist attacks by quickly detecting small imbalances before they spiral out of control and cause massive disruptions. It will detect small imbalances sooner and reroute power as necessary before any become serious disruptions to service. Timing synchronization is critical in…
