Abstract:

The principles and practice of environmentally and socially sustainable engineering are in line with growing community expectations and the strengthening voice of civil society in engineering interventions. Pressures towards internationalization and globalization are reflected in new course accreditation criteria and higher education structures. Over the next few years, one expression of these pressures, the Bologna Declaration, will pose major challenges to engineering and other faculties of European universities.

Abstract:

In this paper, the construction of the pressure-state-response model is referred to build the indicator system for assessing the environmentally sustainable development of the expressway during construction and operation periods. And a specific measurement method is given in this study. The principal component analysis is performed to determine the weight of each index by statistical analysis, and to calculate the environmentally sustainable development indices during the construction period and operation period, and the whole project. According to the results, the environmentally sustainable development indices during construction and operation period are most related with the pressure index, which means that the environmentally sustainable development of the expressway is closely related to the reasonability of the design, construction and operation of the expressway itself.

Abstract:

Sustainable building design has become a wide and multidisciplinary research endeavor including mechanical, electrical, electronic, communication, acoustic, architectural, and structural engineering. It involves the participation of owners, contractors, suppliers and building users. There has been a lot of talk about sustainable buildings in the past few years. Most of the published research is concerned with saving energy and water and making the buildings more environmentally friendly by, say, reducing the carbon emissions. In this article, sustainable building design is reviewed from the viewpoint of structural engineering. Different strategies presented in the literature are summarized. Finally, the authors argue that the next big leap in sustainable building design should come from the integration of the smart structure technology including the use of hybrid and semi-active vibration controllers that can result in substantially lighter and more efficient structures.

Abstract:

Beijing suffers a great road transport problems, including environment pollute, congestion, and etc. A research supported by the national basic research program of China to solve transport related environmental problems introduced an environmentally sustainable transport research framework. Results showed that the dramatic increasing of total vehicles was the key driving force. NOx and CO2 emitted by vehicles were two main pollutes that might touch the environmental capacity in 2020. Policy instruments were proposed to control the total vehicle, the NOx emission and the CO2 emission. The time arrangement of policy instruments was partly accepted by the local government. Continuous monitoring showed that the effects of the policy planning were mixed.

Abstract:

PurposeThe main purpose of this research is to understand the priorities of designers for an ecodesign support, while developing environmentally sustainable products. Also, this study identifies the requirements of the designers for managing the environmental quality of products.Design/methodology/approachThis research is conducted in two phases of survey. In the first phase, various requirements of designers are collected, refined and segregated under certain well defined characteristics of the ecodesign support. In second phase, the designers are asked to rank each characteristic of the ecodesign support in a questionnaire. The responses obtained from the designers are analyzed separately for engineering designers and design researchers by using Henry Garrett ranking technique to identify the priorities of designers for an ecodesign support.FindingsResults show that there is a contrast between the perspective of engineering designers and design researchers, and their priorities for an ecodesign support are opposite to each other. Thus it can be understood that the features which are added by design researchers in ecodesign support may not be adequate for engineering designers to manage the environmental quality of products.Originality/valueThe designers play a key role in the development of environmentally benign products through the use of different ecodesign supports (i.e. tools or methods). Therefore, it is important to understand the desired characteristics of the ecodesign support from designer's perspective. Also, the priorities of designers from academia (design researchers) and industry (engineering designers) must be understood because they are the two stakeholders indulged in the development and usage of various ecodesign supports for environmentally conscious product development (ECPD).

Abstract:

Environmental awareness and especially the legislation that requires the reduction of polluting emissions are strong driving forces toward more sustainable engineering and greener solutions in the design, use and overall life span of machinery. However, providing novel concepts that will exclude non-environmentally adapted, but over many years developed and optimized solutions, is not an easy task. It clearly requires time if the same level of technical performance is to be maintained. Green tribology is one of the fields that has been closely involved in these actives in the past two decades. The research and use of tribology science and technology toward green and sustainable engineering include natural material usage, lower energy consumption, reducing natural oil resources, reducing pollution and emissions, fewer maintenance requirements and thus reduced machinery-investment cycles. This report is not an attempt to cover all the existing concepts, attempts or literature available in the field, but mainly those efforts that our group has been working on over the past 20 years, which mainly includes novel green-lubrication concepts that come from exploring and exploiting surface engineering through the use of diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coatings.

Abstract:

Sustainable development requires that resources are used as conservationally and as optimally as possible in order to maintain an adequate resource-base for future generations. It is not an easily-defined concept, nor is there any single way of achieving it. It does, however, focus on the environment, as this provides the resource-base that supports all society. Among the recently-evolved scientific developments, biotechnology has many applications that can improve resource-use. It involves the manipulation of organisms to undertake specific processes and includes genetic manipulation or ‘engineering’.In an environmental context, biotechnology has its greatest contribution to make in agriculture — especially by improving crop-yields. It offers opportunities to design crops for specific environments and to make crops more efficient producers of food-energy than otherwise. Biotechnology can thus manipulate primary energy-flows; it can also reduce fossil-fuel energy inputs into agricultural systems. It could also contribute to the mitigation of environmental problems such as deforestation and soil erosion. Both food- and fuel-energy resources are key components of sustainability. Sources produced biotechnologically, e.g. SCPs and biomass fuels, can supplement those produced conventionally.Resource recovery and recycling, and hazardous-waste disposal, are other environmentally-beneficial facets of biotechnology. These are equally pertinent to sustainable development because they extend the resource-base. In this context, biotechnology constitutes a vehicle for the improved manipulation of biogeochemical cycles.There are, however, potentially significant drawbacks in the use of biotechnology. These focus on technology transfer between the Developed and Developing World; this is economic and political, and relates to intellectual property rights, etc. Environmentally, the disadvantages concern the potential creation of ‘ecological ogres’ which could generate ecological disasters. Moreover, biotechnology relies heavily on the availability of a sustainable genepool, i.e. on biodiversity; indeed the two are interdependent. The high rates of extinction of plant and animal species that are currently occurring are thus limiting biotechnological opportunities for the future.

Abstract:

Solvents are widely recognized to be of great environmental concern. The reduction of their use is one of the most important aims of green chemistry. In addition to this, the appropriate selection of solvent for a process can greatly improve the sustainability of a chemical production process. There has also been extensive research into the application of so-called green solvents, such as ionic liquids and supercritical fluids. However, most examples of solvent technologies that give improved sustainability come from the application of well-established solvents. It is also apparent that the successful implementation of environmentally sustainable processes must be accompanied by improvements in commercial performance.

Abstract:

Indonesia has many green energy potencies to replace the fossil-based conventional energy. However, the use of this conventional energy is still in dominant. It is understandable that older generations are difficult to change their habits in using green energy for various reasons. Whereas the younger generation are expected to starts using environmentally friendly energy, in the form of new and renewable energy. This study aims to determine the tendency of young people to use renewable energy. 60 respondents were selected from department of environmental engineering students, Pasundan University in Bandung, Indonesia. The respondents range from first to fourth year students. Assumption used in respondents selection was student with environmental engineering educational background will have knowledge on renewable energy. This research conducted through questionnaires. The results show that only 10% of the respondents have used the renewable energy, i.e. solar energy. Whereas 90% of respondents do not use renewable energy due to lack of knowledge on how to start using it. Nevertheless, 97% of respondents consider that using green energy is a proud thing. From a variety of green energy alternatives, 50% of the students consider solid waste as the most potential source of renewable energy in Indonesia.

Abstract:

The article considers the possibilities of a new environmental approach to design. Nature presents us with such opportunities. Evolution has led to an environmentally friendly solution to the interaction of the body and its environment. Currently, architects and engineers are trying to solve the processes of environmental design approaches. It is enough to see these solutions in the bio model, to determine the laws of existence for applying its qualities in the shaping of the designed architectural object in the environment. The application of the mechanisms of functioning of the bio model will be distinguished by the originality of engineering work and aesthetic diversity. The formation of the concept allows you to simulate the architectural and environmental space for a specific environment. The uniqueness of the natural environment component explains the typical design decisions for specific environmental conditions. Bio models of the Astrakhan region considered to identify environmental design methodology. An analysis of the methods for adapting bio models to the landscape and climatic conditions of the considered area and their growth is necessary for the application of these methods in architectural shaping and engineering and technical support of the designed facility for specific conditions of the city of Astrakhan.

Abstract:

Urban public transport systems must be economically efficient and additionally environmentally sustainable. Available decision support systems, including multiple criteria decision models, allow identifying which urban public transport vehicles are acceptable and those that should no longer be used in efficient and environmentally friendly cities. Previous research has ranked urban public transport vehicles by applying analytic hierarchy process multi-criteria decision-making models, from economic and non-polluting perspectives. However, until now, the types of vehicles acceptable for fleet renewal have not been identified. This study proposes a consistent combination of the ELECTRE TRI multiple criteria decision sorting method and the DELPHI procedure, the objective of which is to identify which urban public transport vehicles are acceptable, taking into consideration a suggested sustainable threshold, which includes economic and environmental strict requirements. The proposed model is based on 2020 Madrid urban public road transport data, published by Madrid City Council, which were compiled by the authors, and assessed by a panel of 20 experts to identify criteria and factors included in the model. Findings help local administrations to identify which urban public transport vehicles should be progressively replaced by those classified as economically efficient and additionally environmentally sustainable.

Abstract:

In the era of sustainable economy, the environmental responsible companies provide an important background both for particular industry and national economy competitiveness. In particular, mechanical engineering plays an important role in the economy of Ukraine. In accordance with national statistic, the Ukrainian mechanical engineering provides 6.4 % in total volume of industrial products and ~4 % of the gross value added in the GDP of Ukraine. At the same time, the global mechanical engineering industry environmental friendly activity is related to SDG 9 and SDG 12. In March 2020, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted its Programme, reaffirming the commitment to the SDGs and their importance for Ukrainian economy development. Thereby, research problem lays upon the financial potential of innovative mechanical engineering enterprises in Ukraine providing the background to increase the potential of their environmental responsibility. The paper aims to provide scientific support on mechanical engineering industry representatives that tend to be environmental friendly. The research methodology is based on Ukrainian mechanical engineering enterprises data (5 years and 337 industry representatives) processed by statistical analysis. The financial and environmental indicators are represented in results section on the basis for six groups of mechanical engineering enterprises’ analysis, namely: big unstable – 16; big stable – 17; medium unstable – 44; medium stable - 26; small unstable – 188; small stable – 46. Thus, the environmental dimension is increasingly taken into account by Ukrainian innovative mechanical engineering enterprises to be competitive. Big and medium stable enterprises are organizationally oriented to be environmentally sustainable. The main disadvantage of big and medium unstable enterprises is lack of financial resources for achieving sustainable goals. Small enterprises are lack of general capacity to conduct environmental support policy, but they are the most flexible ones that provide advantages in environmental management. The study results can be used within industrial and business programs of environmental responsible activity and its financial support. In relation to other branches or countries, more extensive study is required.

Abstract:

The complexity of environmental and sustainability challenges has created an ongoing need for innovative and integrated approaches to address them. Design disciplines have a long history. The method “design thinking”, originally applied in architecture, engineering and business, has led to new and creative problem solving, thus creating much potential for use in sustainable development planning. While principles of good design are well established, there has been limited integration of design thinking with environmental science, sustainable development planning and education. This research was focused on how a sustainability approach can be merged with design thinking to develop socially responsible and environmentally sustainable products and services. The case study has been carried out in the master’s study course Sustainable Development Planning. Some of basic principles and stages of design thinking, such as empathy, creativity, collaboration, responsibility and interdisciplinary approach have been tested by using students project work evaluation regarding certain criteria and survey after the study course. The first results of approbated design thinking principles and methods, significant advantages and disadvantages and the perspective of using this method have been analysed and discussed. As the result from this study proposals for the improvement of the content of this study course and related study courses (a study course on sustainable development issues is compulsory in all undergraduate study programs in Latvia) and for the specification of test tasks have been developed, considering also future needs to provide the study course remotely.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the green manufacturing and similar frameworks in order to trace the origin, definitions, scope, similarities, differences, and publications of these manufacturing frameworks. Design/methodology/approach – A review of 113 research articles is conducted for various terms, namely, green manufacturing (GM); environmentally conscious manufacturing; environmentally responsible manufacturing; environmentally benign manufacturing; sustainable manufacturing; clean manufacturing; cleaner production; sustainable production with reference to triple bottom line, product life cycle engineering, systems approach, resource and energy efficiency, supply chain, pollution prevention and closed loop system/6R. Findings – It can be said with reasonable confidence that all these eight frameworks have been used interchangeably by researchers but it requires some standardization. It has been observed during literature review that to standardize the terminology researchers have to clear emphatically in their research the use of various life cycle engineering approach; clarity on the end-of-life strategies used; clarity in use of various components of triple bottom line perspectives; inclusion of the whole supply chain and integration of environmental improvement strategies with the business strategy. Research limitations/implications – The literature reviewed for the study is the literature available online using Google scholar. Originality/value – This is one of the first known studies to review the GM and similar frameworks for their origin, definition, scope, similarities, and differences.

Abstract:

The dairy industry produces large amounts of whey as a by- or co-product, which has led to considerable environmental problems due to its high organic matter content. Over the past decades, possibilities of more environmentally and economically efficient whey utilisation have been studied, primarily to convert unwanted end products into a valuable raw material. Sustainable whey management is mostly oriented to biotechnological and food applications for the development of value-added products such as whey powders, whey proteins, functional food and beverages, edible films and coatings, lactic acid and other biochemicals, bioplastic, biofuels and similar valuable bioproducts. This paper provides an overview of the sustainable utilisation of whey and its constituents, considering new refining approaches and integrated processes to covert whey, or lactose and whey proteins to high value-added whey-based products.

Abstract:

Global population and environmental pressures are challenging multinational companies to develop new business strategies founded upon the principles of sustainabilityassuring that they can meet the needs of both present and future generations of customers and stakeholders. Corporate sustainability requires understanding the "triple bottom line", which includes economic, societal, and ecological performance. It involves designing products and processes with a full awareness of their life-cycle costs and benefits, and seeking new technologies to create more value with fewer resources. To put sustainability into practice, companies are beginning to transform their core business processes and develop environmentally and socially responsible products and services. Many are adopting the concepts of industrial ecology and green chemistry in an effort to transform their operations from a linear to a closed-loop business model. This changing climate is creating new opportunities for breakthrough research and development, ranging from nanotechnology to green chemistry.

Abstract:

Design is a process through which customer needs are transformed into product or service specifications, and then used to develop a model or prototype. The prototype is tested, and modifications are brought to it before the production process starts. Moreover, the design process may be divided into different stages, starting from the definition of the customer needs, going through the conceptual design phase and ending up with the detailed design. In this article, we address the conceptual design phase, where the customer needs are assumed to be known. The proposed approach considers, based on customer needs, primary and secondary design criteria. Each design criterion has a set of predetermined possible values (options) from which the designer may select. Making the best selection of all the design features while satisfying the customer needs in terms of cost, quality (customer preference) and environmental performance is a combinatorial problem and therefore a decision-making framework would be helpful for the designers. In this article, the design criteria are evaluated using fuzzy technique for order preference by similarities to ideal solution based on cost, quality and environmental sustainability. A multiobjective and a single-objective binary programming models are then developed and solved, and their optimal solutions are obtained. The multiobjective solutions provide the decision makers with the possible trade-offs, whereas the single-objective model solution can be used as a final decision-making tool. The proposed approach is implemented in a user-friendly software developed by the authors. A case study is conducted using a baby car seat for which three main and six secondary design criteria are considered. The obtained results show the effectiveness of the approach used.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to identification young consumers’ attitude to sustainable consumption and present their pro-environmental and pro-social behaviours and their motives. This discussion is complemented with the results of own pilot study regarding young people’s involvement in pro-eco and pro-social projects. The sample included 88 people - first-year students of full-time engineering studies.The analysis of gathered data allowed to formulate some conclusions. It showed that high awareness of growing environmental and social problems and threats they pose is a significant phenomenon in the area of young consumers’ choices. This awareness is accompanied by confidence that individual actions and attitudes can lead to restoration of the natural environment. These factors are becoming a crucial motive for young adults to undertake socially and environmentally responsible actions. However, sometimes there is a discrepancy between their pro-eco declarations and actual behaviours of sustainable consumption. This is mainly due to financial factors, which in many situations seem to be predominant

Abstract:

One of the challenges of this century is related to the perspective that the societies become socially, environmentally and economically sustainable in order to satisfy the needs of present generations without reducing the chances of the future generations to achieve theirs. It is through higher education that new professionals start acting, thus, influence how current and future generations deal with the social, environmental and economic issues, i.e., with the sustainability and the Sustainable Development (SD). So, it is responsibility of higher education to provide to the people competencies to enable them to deal with the technical and environmental challenges through solutions that minimize environmental impacts and social inequalities. As the engineers have direct relationship to the production of knowledge and technologies that directly impact society and the environment is essential that the engineering background allows them to design technologies and economic activities to sustain rather than degrade the natural environment and improve health and human well-being. In this context, this paper aims to reflect about the vision of sustainability/DS required for engineering education so that it may contribute to make sustainable societies.

Abstract:

The article deals with the key issues related to overcoming the complex of social, environmental and economic problems in urban planning, connected, firstly, with providing citizens of Ukraine with comfortable and economically affordable housing, and secondly, creation of life-sustaining living environment, environmentally safe, conserving natural resources. Foreign experience has shown the possibility of using low-rise energy-efficient housing to create a comfortable environment for people. The interaction of the system of principles of the organization of ecological low-rise residential development is the theoretical basis of the integrity of the organization of suburbanized settlement. This is aimed at the development of low-rise life-sustaining housing development in Ukraine's airspace. The problem is to conduct research on the creation of an environmentally safe, comfortable living environment in urban settlements and housing entities, taking into account the specificity of the location, the use of new engineering technologies of life support for use in design practice. Requires architectural and planning organization of low-rise residential development based on the consideration of environmental laws and in accordance with the interests of man. Three basic principles must be put first: 1) conservation of natural resources and the environment; 2) human factor - the quality of life support of the living environment for increasing the birth rate and life expectancy of the population; 3) the natural value of the territory. The purpose of this work is to develop systemic principles for the organization of low-rise residential development in the space of Ukraine's settlement, to create conditions for human life, improve the quality and environmental safety of the living environment. This is necessary for the stable social structure of society and the preservation of the surrounding nature.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to identify environmentally and socially sustainable behaviors and explore the role of mobile applications in encouraging them among young residents of Poland. The study involved a literature review and a survey carried out on a sample of 772 representatives of Generation Z (through the use of CAWI method). The collected material was subjected to quantitative and qualitative analyses involving factor analysis and statistical tests. The analysis of the obtained dataset shows that there is a significant difference between pro-environmental behaviors assigned to the following areas: (I) purchasing activity enhanced by visual identification, (II) sustainable consumption, (III) behavior stimulated by legal regulations and economic factors. The research revealed a statistically significant difference between the sustainable behaviors of men and women, and a slight difference between the behaviors of people from different places of residence and with different levels of income. It was also shown that respondents using the three analyzed mobile applications: Vinted (an online marketplace and community that allows its users to sell, buy, and swap new or secondhand items, mainly clothing and accessories), Veturilo (an app for users of city bike system) and GdzieWyrzucić (an app helping with waste sorting) rated their pro-environmental activities significantly higher in almost all areas covering socially and environmentally sustainable behaviors.

Abstract:

With the rapid development of urbanization in China, people’s requirements for the quality of life and environment are constantly improving. However, the shortage of resources and the deterioration of environment are becoming more and more serious. Environmental protection has become the only way for the sustainable development of society. Therefore, the application of more and more new green building materials has become the key to the sustainable development of the construction industry. In the face of the rapid development of modern construction industry, engineering quality and functional requirements have become the basic requirements, the green environmental protection has become a higher requirement. The application of green environmental protection building materials in engineering construction is the main development direction of the transformation of modern construction industry. At the same time, it conforms to the policy of environmentally sustainable development of all sectors of society, and promotes the construction industry to meet the higher requirements of green environmental protection living environment. This paper studied the performance and waterproof mechanism of a kind of high polymer (HDPE) self-adhered waterproofing membrane and its application in construction. Compared with the traditional waterproofing membrane, the high polymer self-adhered waterproofing membrane can give full play to the advantages of environmental protection on the premise of meeting the building quality.

Abstract:

Microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a promising new technology in the area of Civil Engineering with potential to become a cost-effective, environmentally friendly and sustainable solution to many problems such as ground improvement, liquefaction remediation, enhancing properties of concrete and so forth. This paper reviews the research and developments over the past 25 years since the first reported application of MICP in 1995. Historical developments in the area, the biological processes involved, the behaviour of improved soils, developments in modelling the behaviour of treated soil and the challenges associated are discussed with a focus on the geotechnical aspects of the problem. The paper also presents an assessment of cost and environmental benefits tied with three application scenarios in pavement construction. It is understood for some applications that at this stage, MICP may not be a cost-effective or even environmentally friendly solution; however, following the latest developments, MICP has the potential to become one.

Abstract:

The unique properties of MXenes have been deemed to be of significant interest in various emerging applications. However, MXenes provide a major drawback involving environmentally harmful and toxic substances for its general fabrication in large-scale production and employing a high-temperature solid-state reaction followed by selective etching. Meanwhile, how MXenes are synthesized is essential in directing their end uses. Therefore, making strategic approaches to synthesize greener, safer, more sustainable, and more environmentally friendly MXenes is imperative to commercialize at a competitive price. With increasing reports of green synthesis that promote advanced technologies and non-toxic agents, it is critical to compile, summarize, and synthesize the latest development of the green-related technology of MXenes. We review the recent progress of greener, safer, and more sustainable MXene synthesis with a focus on the fundamental synthetic process, the mechanism, and the general advantages, and the emphasis on the MXene properties inherited from such green synthesis techniques. The emerging use of the so-called green MXenes in energy conversion and storage, environmental remediation, and biomedical applications is presented. Finally, the remaining challenges and prospects of greener MXene synthesis are discussed.

Abstract:

The emergence of the concept of sustainable development in recent years has brought in the general realisation that societal perceptions must shift towards ecological determinism so as to achieve qualitative growth within the limits of the ecosystem's carrying capacity. The carrying capacity based planning process, innovative technologies for enhanced material and energy effectivity of production and consumption, structural economic change towards less resource-intensive sectors, and preventive environmental management through increasingly interventionist policies are some of the strategies for reconciling developmental goals with ecological capabilities. The paper analyzes existing and future environmental issues emanating from developmental objectives and policies in population, agriculture and forestry, energy, industry and human settlement sectors in India and suggests an agenda for action, with focus on environmentally sound technology, to ensure discernible positive movement towards the overall aspirational goal of sustainable development. It argues for a dynamic policy framework for environmental management in which the time lag between problem awareness, technological solution and remedial action is minimized through anticipation and prevention of environmental problems that may arise as a consequence of decisions taken within various sectors of the economy; restoration of environmental quality wherever necessary; structural changes in the economy; and inter-policy coordination.
