Embodied energy is the energy consumed by all of the processes associated with the production of a building, from the mining and processing of natural resources to manufacturing, transport and product delivery.
The buildings and landscapes at Duke Farms have been designed to be sustainable. This means that they place minimal demands on non-renewable energy resources and reduce pollution and waste,creating healthier indoor and outdoor environments.
The infrastructure that supports the buildings at Duke Farms uses green technologies such as a solar array, geothermal wells, and a constructed wastewater wetlands to maximize energy efficiency. Renovation of existing structures minimizes the need for new materials and interior spaces are designed with human health and well being in mind by maximizing air flow and providing abundant natural light.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
2. What is environment-friendly construction ?
Popular definition
Reducing energy and water consumption.
- rain water harvesting, water recycling, solar energy.
Expanded definition
Reducing construction material + reducing energy and
water consumption.
3. Problem 1 – Overdesigned structures
How many years will this structure last ?
How many years will it be allowed to last ?
Average house is built to last a couple of thousand years,
but is typically broken down in 25 years because the
next generation’s requirements have changed.
4. Problem 2 – Skewed priorities
Essentials - water, power, fresh air, greenery.
Rain water harvesting, grey and black water harvesting, solar
panels for power, trees.
Non-essentials : Floor tiles, expensive walls,
unnecessary concrete decor, jacuzzi.
We spend on non-essentials. If there is any money left
over, we spend on essentials. Should be reverse.
5. The fix
Extend the tenets of environment-friendly living to
construction.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce : Reduce the consumption of material
Reuse : Reuse an already used material, as it is.
Recycle : Change the form of an already used material
by heat, chemical reaction, mechanical force.
6. What we should think
What is this ?
What is this ?
Reusable construction
material.
Waste of material,
money, time.
7. Ideas for Reuse, Reduce in
Construction
Used in a home that's 2 years old and
still standing.
8. Reduce 1 – No concrete roof
Bamboo corrugated sheet instead of concrete roof.
Concrete roofs trap heat during day, radiate it at night,
hence get hot.
Bamboo roof does not trap heat.
9. Reduce 2 – No airconditioners
Fans instead of air-conditioners.
Because no concrete roofs, no walls, lots of windows.
10. Reduce 3 – No exhaust fan in kitchen
Natural draught instead of exhaust fan.
Opening above the kitchen platform for exhaust.
11. Reduce 3 – No flat, smooth walls
0.25” plaster instead of 1.5” plaster on walls.
Walls are ordinary (not wire-cut) brick. Our walls are not
flat, undulate with the shape of the bricks.
Cement and sand for plastering reduced by 75%.
12. Reduce 3 – No tiled floors
Plain grey cement floors instead of tiled floors.
Saving : Rs. 2 Lakhs.
13. Reduce 4 – No walls
Walls are meant to keep the weather out.
Windows are meant to let the weather in.
Bangalore has pleasant weather through the year, there's
no need to keep it out. Hence no walls.
14. Reuse 1 – Wood from packing cases
Wood : Pine wood from packing cases.
15. Reuse 2 – Glass from demolished buildings
Glass for walls, windows : 75 % from demolished
buildings.
16. Reuse 3 – Reused toilet fittings
Commodes, washbasins, taps showers from demolished
buildings.
Fittings for 2 toilets cost Rs. 7000. New would have cost
Rs. 50,000.
17. Reuse 4 – Reused kitchen sinks
Kitchen sinks from demolished buildings.
3 sinks cost Rs. 5000. New would have cost Rs. 25,000.
19. Reuse 6 – Discarded paving stones from
footpaths
Granite paving stones on city's footpaths replaced by tiled
footpaths.
Savings : 90 %.
20. Reuse 7 – Rain water harvesting, grey water
harvesting
Rain water harvesting tank capacity 20,000 l. - 4 times the
legal requirement.
Grey water harvesting – water for garden.
Black water harvesting proposed.
21. The net result
Construction cost : 40 % of normal. Rs. 17 Lakhs.
Construction time : 50 % of normal. 7 months.
Aesthetics : 'Kachra house' or 'Kuppe veedu' was the
'House of the month' in a home interiors magazine.
22. Just remember these
1. Build to last 25 years, not 2500 years.
2. Prioritize essentials - water, power, fresh air,
greenery.
Spend on essentials. If there is any money left over, scale
up the essentials – more solar, more rain water
harvesting.
3. Build to impress yourself, not your neighbours.
4. The principles used in my home are universal. Can
be used in any building – home, office, school, hospital.
