Hygienic, disinfected, and accessible water for all people is an essential requirement of the world. However, bad economics and poor water utility infrastructure and outdated purification and treatment technologies have resulted in the spread of waterborne epidemics and also fatal cases. Inadequate clean drinking water supply and hygiene should hen...

The growing scarcity of natural resources, along with the harmful environmental impacts of emissions and discarded materials in the landfills and water bodies are the pressing current challenges faced globally. This has warranted the need to adopt circular economy (CE) principles, over the prevailing linear economy models, in every stages of the su...

Increase in waste generation and the subsequent irresponsible dumping of waste is identified as the fast-growing problem causing significant damage to environment, aquatic ecosystem, and human health. Industrialization, urbanization and the associated economic growth will face significant challenges if sound waste management practices are not put i...

The World Bank estimates that rapid population growth and urbanization have resulted in a global average waste generation of about 0.79 kilograms per citizen per day as of 2022. It predicts a direct relationship between waste generation and income levels and projects the daily per capita waste generation in high-income countries to increase by 19.0...

Water shortage caused by the intensification of the impacts of climate change, population growth, and accelerated urbanization require immediate action on development of technologies for effective management of water supply and consumption. In addition, aging water infrastructure leads to water loss and increase in non-revenue water. Smart water gr...

The smart buildings industry is growing rapidly, spurred by technology advancements and the rising need for energy efficiency and sustainability. Building automation systems (BAS) are increasingly integrated with HVAC, lighting, and security systems with centralized platforms to maximize building performance and minimize energy use. This transforma...

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...

This study examines the emerging role of IoT-based HVAC services in promoting sustainability within the building industry. It highlights the role of real-time data, predictive maintenance, and integration with energy, IT, and building systems in enabling services, including maintenance and repair beyond warranty periods. The convergence of HVAC wit...
