Performance based evaluation of rainwater harvesting system in public buildings
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016 Harvested rainwater has become an inseparable part of sustainable development a long before term ‘sustainability’ appeared. Even though domestic systems have been investigated to some extent, there are few recent studies of larger non-domestic systems ...

Energy Consumption In Non-Domestic Buildings: A Review of Schools [PDF]
Linköping Electronic Conference Proceedings, 2011 The energy consumption associated with non-domestic buildings represents 11% of the UK’s total energy consumption, 11% of Europe and 18% of the USA’s. A nnual non-domestic building energy consumption is often presented in the form of average benchmarks, such as 450kWh/m2/year for a large airconditioned building and 200kWh/m2/year for a small naturally ...

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery
