A Review of Sustainable Implications of Energy‐Efficient Buildings in the Environment

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Construction industry is a major contributor to global energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for nearly 40% of the total. This review explores the role of energy‐efficient buildings in mitigating environmental impact, conserving resources and improving occupant well‐being.

A Quantitative Approach to Modeling the Overconsumption of Energy in Healthcare Buildings

open access: yesJournal of Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Healthcare buildings consume 2.6 times more energy than commercial buildings, primarily due to the operation of electromedical equipment and the stringent indoor environmental requirements for medical practice. This fact underscores the need for research aimed at addressing the high intensity of energy consumption.

Net Zero Energy‐Ready Buildings: A Canadian Construction Perspective and Evaluation

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2024.
The design process for net‐zero energy‐ready buildings (NZErB) enhances energy resilience. This study assesses the potential of new and retrofit buildings in Canada to achieve NZErB status, using key performance indicators. Most new buildings and many retrofit ones meet level 5 in airtightness, TEDI, MEUI, and energy efficiency, with cellulose ...

Exploring the Diverse Landscape of Fungal Cytochrome P450‐Catalyzed Regio‐ and Stereoselective Dimerization of Diketopiperazines

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 26, July 10, 2024.
Five regio‐ and stereoselective P450s from distinct clades on the evolutionary tree are recognized for catalyzing the dimerization of indole‐containing diketopiperazines, as revealed through bioinformatic analysis and heterologous expression. Additionally, the chemical diversity of dimeric DKPs is broadened through synthetic biology approaches.

Intramolecular Coupling and Nucleobase Transfer – How Cytochrome P450 Enzymes GymBx Establish Their Chemoselectivity

open access: yesChemCatChem, Volume 16, Issue 10, May 21, 2024.
We report structures of a new class of CDP‐modifying P450 enzymes, termed GymBx. The enzymes catalyse both an intramolecular C−C bond formation within cyclo‐l‐Tyr‐l‐Tyr and a nucleobase transfer reaction, which is unique for CDP‐modifying P450 enzymes. Our structures shed light into CDP binding and nucleobase transfer.
