A green building is a structure that is designed to reduce environmental impact and improve occupants' well-being. It uses resources efficiently throughout its lifecycle by conserving energy and water and generating less waste. Green buildings provide environmental, economic and social benefits like reduced operating costs, improved air and water quality, and enhanced occupant health. While initial costs may be higher, green buildings save money over the long term. Examples of green building practices include using sustainable materials, maximizing natural light, and incorporating renewable energy systems.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
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.

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.

2. What is a green building?
A green building is a sustainable or a high performance building
which:
uses less water
optimizes energy efficiency
conserves natural resources
generates less waste
provides healthier space for occupants as compared to conventional
buildings
Green building is the practice of creating structures and processes
that are environment friendly and resource efficient throughout the
lifespan of a building right from site selection to design,
construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and
deconstruction.
3. Why green buildings ?
One of the main goals is to make Earth more sustainable
Global climate change has become an increasingly serious
concern for the future
At the rate we are developing, the earth is simply not
sustainable. In coming years, we will begin to run out of
certain natural resources that are needed in order for us to
survive.
The ideal green building would be a building project that
would allow us to preserve most of the natural environment
around the project site, while still being able to produce a
building that is going to serve a purpose.
4. Benefits
Environmental Benefits:
Reduce wastage of water
Conserve natural resources
Improve air and water quality
Protect biodiversity and
ecosystems
Economic Benefits:
Reduce operating costs
Improve occupant productivity
Create market for green product
and services
Social Benefits:
Improve quality of life
Minimize strain on local
infrastructure
Improve occupant health and
comfort
5. Issues for investment in green
buildings:
There is a misconception that going green costs more money and
hence people avoid it.
It may be a bit costly to get started because green materials and
products can be more costly, but the savings are more in the long
term.
Green building is more of an investment that will be able to save us
money, as well as an investment that will be able to help the
environment - a win-win situation for everyone!
6. Changing features of green buildings
It is to be noted that not all green buildings need to be
the same.
Different countries and regions have a variety of
characteristics all of which shape their approach to green
building, such as:
distinctive climatic conditions
unique cultures and traditions,
diverse building types and ages
wide-ranging environmental, economic and social priorities
7.
8. Fundamental principles for going
‘green’:
Structure efficiency
Structure has a great impact on cost and performance
Energy efficiency
Using natural light and trees for shading rather than air-conditioning
Water efficiency
Minimising water consumption by proper collection and use, then purify and reuse
Material efficiency
Recyclable materials is better to use
Waste and toxic reduction
Waste from one thing can be an input for some other thing, if used wisely.
9. LEED - Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design,
LEED is the most widely used green building rating system in the world.
LEED provides a framework to create healthy, highly efficient and cost-
saving green buildings.
LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability
achievement.
10. Green Building Rating System India
There are two primary Rating systems in India.
GRIHA - Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment
IGBC - Indian Green Building Council
GRIHA aims at ensuring that all kinds of buildings become green buildings.
GRIHA even rates non-air conditioned buildings as green and puts great
emphasis on local and traditional construction knowledge.
Green projects rated by IGBC fall under one of the following levels (in
ascending order): Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum. The more the
energy efficient building, the higher the certification level
13. About Suzlon One Earth

An office building campus with calm and cool atmosphere
32. Some green construction practices:
Using sustainable building materials like recycled glass and steel, as well as renewable materials like
bamboo and rubber.
Installing energy-efficient windows and doors.
Using lower-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints.
Constructing green roof systems which provide onsite gardens, rainwater management and protection
from the effects of harmful UV light.
Adding water harvesting and purification systems that both manage and make the most use of rainfall.
Maximizing natural light, saves on lighting requirements also helps keeping buildings warm in colder
months.
Using renewable energy to power the building like solar panels and windmills.
33. Green building benefits
Healthier and happier workers—employees that work in green buildings report
fewer headaches, as well as improvements in asthma and allergy symptoms.
Greater likelihood a green building will sell for more money than a standard
building.
Additional business opportunities that come from appealing to an ever-growing
pool of conscious consumers.
Reduced energy costs and operating costs
Reduced Government tax incentives
Reduced maintenance costs
34. What if we ignore green building
concepts?
Because of indiscriminate use of concrete and conventional building
materials in urban areas, the normal atmospheric temperature is
relatively higher than areas with few buildings.
CO2 emissions from such buildings add to the environmental pollution
and global warming which might result in catastrophic consequences
such as:
Reduction in agricultural output and global food production
Rise in the sea level in coastal plains
Alteration in ecosystem and biodiversity pattern
Prolonged flooding in regions receiving abundant rainfall.
