This paper is related with the importance of the energy policy and renewable energy which play a important role in the development of the environmental benefits. India has a vast supply of renewable energy resources and it is one of the largest countries in the world for deploying renewable energy. This paper attempts to review the policies and planning measures undertaken by the Indian government for promotion of renewable energy. Low impact renewable energy (LIRE) technologies offer important benefits compared to conventional energy sources, such as fossil fuels or nuclear power. However due to their uncertainty different kinds of renewable-energy resources need to be operated in an integrated way, which complement each other. Global electricity demand is expected to increase considerably during the next decade and at the same time environmental pollution is also increasing with the development of conventional energy source. To meet the challenges for global energy demand various support schemes, policies and planning to promote use of renewable energy sources are discussed in this paper.

This document discusses a study that conducted a hybrid life cycle sustainability assessment and multi-objective decision making analysis to evaluate four different passenger vehicle technologies (internal combustion vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and battery electric vehicles) for Qatar. The analysis quantified 14 macro-level sustainability indicators using a global multi-regional input-output model. A compromise programming model was developed based on the sustainability assessment results to determine the optimal vehicle fleet distributions under different weighting scenarios of the sustainability indicators and analysis scopes. The optimal distributions showed that hybrid electric vehicles should comprise over 90% of the fleet when environmental indicators were prioritized. With a balanced weighting, the optimal fleet consisted of around 81% hybrid electric vehicles and 19% battery electric
This study uses an ecologically-based hybrid life cycle assessment (Eco-LCA) model to evaluate the resource consumption and emissions of continuously reinforced concrete (CRCP) and hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. The Eco-LCA model accounts for ecological goods and services used by considering mass, energy, industrial exergy, and ecological exergy. The results found that CRCP involves greater consumption of energy and industrial exergy than HMA, though HMA has slightly higher total mass and ecological exergy consumption. Material production was the most resource intensive life cycle phase for both pavements due to high energy and material demands of production. Transportation was also resource intensive for CRCP specifically.
This study uses an input-output model based on the Eora database to assess the environmental, economic, and social impacts of automated diesel and electric heavy-duty trucks over their life cycles. The study finds that automated diesel trucks cause more fatalities and have higher global warming potential than automated electric trucks. Health impact costs are also twice as high for automated diesel trucks compared to electric trucks. While automation brings improvements across several sustainability indicators, the study finds trade-offs between environmental gains and losses of mineral and fossil resources that complicate decision making regarding truck automation technology.
This document presents a novel uncertainty-embedded dynamic life cycle sustainability assessment framework to evaluate alternative vehicle technologies from 2015 to 2050. The framework uses a system dynamics modeling approach to capture dynamic relationships and uncertainties among environmental, economic, and social parameters. Monte Carlo simulation is used to conduct multivariate uncertainty analysis for seven sustainability impact categories: carbon dioxide emissions, particulate matter formation, photochemical oxidant formation, vehicle ownership cost, contribution to GDP, employment generation, and human health impacts. The framework finds that while electric vehicles have the largest uncertainty, they are expected to best reduce human health impacts and air pollution over the long term compared to internal combustion, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
This document evaluates the cost-effectiveness and energy savings of various policy instruments to increase building energy efficiency. It analyzes 47 case studies from 23 countries of 8 policy types, including building codes, product standards, labels, and information programs. The results show that all policy instruments have the potential to cost-effectively achieve energy savings when designed and implemented appropriately for local conditions. While certain policies like product standards and labels achieved the largest total energy savings, no single policy could be clearly prioritized based on cost-effectiveness alone, as effectiveness depends strongly on implementation. Sharing experiences and quantitative data on policies across countries can help reduce costs and improve policy design for energy efficiency.

Decision Support System for Energy Saving Analysis in Manufacturing IndustryIJRES Journal
Nowadays the attempts to optimize energy efficiency and environmental impact are increasingly present in all activity areas and specifically in manufacturing industry. An innovative approach to achieve these optimizations lies in advanced combination of decision support technologies and Knowledge Management. A benchmarking energy saving tool (decision support tool) was carried out in four (4) different years, 2007 to 2010 in Niger mills limited, located in Calabar to generate energy intensity and energy intensity index of the period. The result obtained for energy intensity in 2007 was 2.30GJ/m3, Energy intensity for 2008 was 2.30GJ/m3, Energy intensity for 2009 was 2.40GJ/m3, and energy intensity for 2010 was 2.30GJ/m3. This result shows that for the period of these four years, that the energy consumed is in an average range of 2.30GJ/m3. That if the productivity increase as the result of increase in production, the energy intensity will increase to 2.40GJ/m3 or there about as the case maybe as a result of increase in production.

Sustainable Selection of Material and Assembly (SMA) constitutes a importants strategy in building design and
construction. Current sustainable SMA methods fail to provide adequate solutions for finding the optimum
improvement strategies and choosing the best alternative in a decision environment. To assist the decision-making
process, this study suggests the Multi objective Optimization (MO) approach utilization. However, process
improvements cannot be based only on environmental considerations, other factors like socio-economic must be
also being considered in parallel. As well, the study indicates that MO coupled with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
provides a tool for balancing process environmental and economic performance. The value of this approach in
environmental process analysis rests in providing an optimal option for process improvements which may be
optimal and suitable for a particular situation. A decision-aid tool – optimum Life Cycle Assessment Performance
(OLCAP) – is recommended. OLCAP is tested and demonstrated by application to case studies of an existing
traditional construction method and contemporary construction method of low cost housing projects. The MO
value in process analysis lies in allowing for an alternative option for process betterments, therefore able the

ABSTRACT
Programs to improve the sustainability of building infrastructures often consist of project portfolios
that need to be prioritized in an appropriate chronological fashion to maximize the program’s
benefits. This is particularly important when a revolving-fund approach is used to leverage savings
from the initial projects to pay for later improvements. The success of the revolving-fund approach
is dependent on the appropriate prioritization of projects. Competing performance measures and
scarce resources make this task of project prioritization during the planning stage a complex and
challenging endeavour. The current study examined the impact of different project prioritization
strategies for revolving-fund sustainability program performance. A novel modeling approach for
sustainability decision-analysis was developed using the system dynamics method, and the model
was calibrated using a campus sustainability improvement program at a major university. The
model was applied to evaluate the effects of five common project-prioritization strategies on three
program-performance measures, across a wide range of initial investment levels. For the university
case study, we found that the strategy of prioritizing projects according to decreasing benefit/cost
ratio performed best. The research demonstrated that using a system dynamics model can allow
sustainability program managers to make better-informed sequencing decisions, leading to a
financially and environmentally successful program implementations.

Introduction
The development of sustainable infrastructure is of vital
concern in a world of limited resources. Currently, in the
United States, the residential and commercial sectors
account for about 40% of the country’s total consumed
energy (U.S. Energy Information Administration 2016).
Meanwhile, electricity generation, the industrial sector,
and the residential sector generate over 45% of the
country’s CO2 emissions (U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency 2016a). Reducing energy consumption in these
sectors through sustainability improvement programs
can provide great benefits – both in the form of imme-
diate monetary savings for owners and in the overall
context of a better living environment for the public.

PEDESTRIAN DETECTION IN LOW RESOLUTION VIDEOS USING A MULTI-FRAME HOG-BASED D...AM Publications
Detecting pedestrians in low resolution videos is a challenging task, due to the small size of pedestrians in the images and the limited information. In practical outdoor surveillance scenarios the pedestrian size is usually small. Existing state-of-the-art pedestrian detection methods that use histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features have poor performance in this problem domain. To compensate for the lack of information in a single frame, we propose a novel detection method that recognizes pedestrians in a short sequence of frames. Namely, we take the single-frame HOG-based detector and extend it to multiple frames. Our detector is applied to regions containing potential moving objects. In the case of video taken from a moving camera on an aerial platform, video stabilization is first performed to register the frames. A classifier is then applied to features extracted from spatio-temporal volumes surrounding the potential moving objects. On challenging stationary and aerial video datasets, our detection accuracy outperforms several state-of-the-art algorithms.

EFFECT OF SILICON - RUBBER (SR) SHEETS AS AN ALTERNATIVE FILTER ON HIGH AND L...AM Publications
A digital radiography delivers a radiation dose to patients; therefore it poses potential risk to the patients. One effort to reduce dose is carried out using a radiation filter, e.g. Silicone Rubber (SR) sheet. The purpose of this research was to determine the impact of the SR sheet on the high contrast objects (HCO) and the low contrast objects (LCO). The dose reduction was determined from attenuation x-rays before and after using the SR sheet. Assessment of HCO and LCO was observed from CDR TOR phantom at tube voltage of 48 kVp and tube current of 8 mAs. The physical parameter to assess image quality was the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) value in LCO. The maximum x-ray attenuation using the SR sheet is 48.82%. The visibility of the HCO remains the same, namely 16 objects; however the LCO slighly decreases from 14 objects to 13 objects after using the SR sheet. The SNR value decreases with an average value of 15.17%.Therefore, the SR sheet as a alternative filter has no effect on the HCO and has realtively little effect on the LCO. Thus, the SR sheet potentially is used for radiation protection in patients, especially on examinations that do not require low contrast resolution.

ANALYSIS ON LOAD BALANCING ALGORITHMS IMPLEMENTATION ON CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIR...AM Publications
Cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive. The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. The elements involved in cloud computing are clients, data center and distributed server. One of the main problems in cloud computing is load balancing. Balancing the load means to distribute the workload among several nodes evenly so that no single node will be overloaded. Load can be of any type that is it can be CPU load, memory capacity or network load. In this paper we presented an architecture of load balancing and algorithm which will further improve the load balancing problem by minimizing the response time. In this paper, we have proposed the enhanced version of existing regulated load balancing approach for cloud computing by comping the Randomization and greedy load balancing algorithm. To check the performance of proposed approach, we have used the cloud analyst simulator (Cloud Analyst). Through simulation analysis, it has been found that proposed improved version of regulated load balancing approach has shown better performance in terms of cost, response time and data processing time.
