Energy use in the construction industry is high. Additionally, the heavy machinery used in construction still leans heavily on fossil fuels, and inefficient electricity use can lead to huge waste of fossil fuels further down the energy supply line. This creates the demand for sustainability drives in the building and construction industry. Sustaina...

Most parts of Europe face recurring droughts as below-average rainfall combined with heatwaves exacerbate water stress. The latest revision of European Union wastewater directives has driven nations to invest in tertiary treatment of wastewater and proactively encouraged water reuse to meet agricultural and industrial water demand. This includes me...

Water and wastewater treatment membranes broadly are of two types: polymeric and ceramic. A polymeric membrane, also known as an organic membrane, is primarily made of any one of these materials: polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyvinylidene fluoride, polycarbonate, polyamide, polyethylene, or cellulose acetate. The membrane is semi-permeable a...

Europe has been faced with unprecedented heatwaves and droughts triggered by climate change. This has affected surface and groundwater availability across regions, leading to water use restrictions and investment in water reuse infrastructure.Southern European countries such as Spain, Cyprus, Malta, and Greece have invested in desalination as an al...

Smart Lighting is enabled by technologies such as solid state lighting, control systems, sensing and communication. These technologies play an integral role in occupancy sensing, sharing the harvested data, controlling the power consumed and light output based on requirement. Advantages of smart lighting include better control, connectivity, and en...

This research analyzes the development trends in the sensor industry focusing on agricultural and environmental monitoring applications. The research service examines in detail, the industry trends, adoption factors, applications, funding activities, and key providers of sensing systems for agricultural and environmental monitoring applications. It...

Climate change is a topic that is on everyone's lips, particularly after the conclusion of the recent climate talks in Paris. To address climate change, first there has to be climate monitoring. However, monitoring climate change is not an easy process given the area to cover. This requires powerful sensing and communication infrastructure and also...

The energy transition is no longer driven solely by cleaner generation technologies; it is increasingly defined by the intelligence, resilience, and strategic control embedded within energy systems. As governments, utilities, infrastructure operators, and industrial stakeholders respond to rising electricity demand, supply chain volatility, and dec...

Today, the vast majority of plastic is still made from fossil fuel and is designed to be durable. However, the twin challenges of reducing fossil fuel consumption and decreasing plastic waste brought in some significant changes to the plastic industry in 2022. Options to counter these challenges include the use of plastic that is biobased or biodeg...
