Green building concepts and good building practicesManohar Tatwawadi
The power sector must adopt the green building concepts and go for good building practices. In fact all industries need to go for the same. The same practices can also be adopted in all commercial as well as residential buildings.
GRIHA – GREEN RATING FOR INTEGRATED HABITAT ASSESSMENT
• GRIHA is developed by TERI (The energy and resources Institute) for the ministry of new and Renewable energy.
This is the indigenous national rating system developed by the ministry to cover the climatic variations, architectural
practices, existing practices of construction and attempting to revive the passive architecture.
• GRIHA rating system takes into account the provisions of the National Building Codes 2005 , The energy
conservation Building Code 2007 announced by BEE and other IS codes
• The rating system based on accepted energy and environmental principles, seeks to strike a balance between the
established practices and emerging concepts, both national and international .
• GRIHA MEANING:GRIHA is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘Abode’. GRIHA promotes passive techniques to reduce
energy cost while keeping the optimum thermal comfort inside the build environment.

IES Webinar: Land & Groundwater Remediation Options & Scoping - The Decision ...IES / IAQM
Model Procedures provide a framework for making decisions about land contamination risks and are a useful resource which offer a lot of detail leading up to, and after, remediation. The remediation stage is often a significant and complicated financial commitment for any project, however the design and delivery of a project gets minimal attention in CLR11. There is a wealth of guidance on specific remediation techniques, some of which is outdated. Therefore, the process can be fraught with uncertainty and a lack of evidence on how the remediation strategy was developed can lead to a lack of confidence in it. This process needs to be open and transparent and stakeholders need to be fully engaged throughout the entire process.
During this webinar, Martin presents an overview and worked examples of the process when undertaken in accordance with best practice principals.
5th Annual Produced Water Quality Recycling and Reuse 2016marketinglbcg
After extensive rounds of conversations with operators and vendors across the Bakken, DJ, Powder River, Niobrara and Uinta Basins, the highly anticipated 5th Annual Produced Water Quality Recycling & Reuse 2016 returns to Denver in October.
Buildings use approximately 40% of the energy in the US. Buzzwords like “going green” and “energy efficient” are more prevalent today. LEED is a rating system, which provides designers the opportunity to tailor their design to reduce the impact on society and the surroundings. It is an integrated process involving the architect, landscape architect, civil engineer, MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) consultant, lighting designer and contractor. As a design team these professionals evaluate energy trade offs within a conceptual design to create a functional building. This session will focus on LEED V4. It will target LEED’s definition, history and categories. More importantly, how to become a LEED accredited professional and LEED’s V4 holistic approach to building design.
Presentation at the 2011 USGBC Illinois Chapter Credential Maintenance Day by Rob Young and Scott Bowman. Using the LEED Platinum Wellmark BCBS Headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa as a case study, the presenters provide factors related to rainwater capture systems, how LEED credits relate, demonstrate the system from design through start-up, and discusses pros and cons of rainwater capture and flushing systems.
IGBC Green Factory Building Rating System is a voluntary and consensus based programme. The rating system has been developed based on materials and technologies that are currently available. This rating system would facilitate the development of energy efficient, water efficient, healthy, more productive, environmentally friendly factories.
The rating programme uses well accepted national standards and wherever local or national standards are not available, appropriate international benchmarks have been considered.

Green street maintenance and innovative designEvan Pratt
An estimated 50+% of stormwater pollution comes from municipal streets. Viewers will learn how different communities are infiltrating stormwater in municipal rights-of-way, why that is cost-effective, and how to maintain green infrastructure and infiltration areas.
“When it pours, it’s porous.”
Porous asphalt pavements offer developers and planners a new tool in their toolbox for managing storm water. These pavements, used mostly for parking lots, allow water to drain through the pavement surface into a stone recharge bed and infiltrate into the soils below the pavement. Such pavements have been proving their worth since the mid-1970s, and recent changes in storm water regulations have prompted many consulting engineers and public works officials to seek information about them
Overview presentation on Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) delivered by Dr. John Harvey of the University of California Pavement Research Center (UCPRC) at the CalAPA EPD workshop on Oct. 25, 2023 in Sacramento.
In the United States, 53 percent of all the roads are unpaved. That translates into 1.6 million miles of unpaved roadways most of which are gravel roads. Currently they are being exposed to increased amounts of agricultural and industrial traffic. Also the problem of fugitive dust causes the loss of fine, binding material which increases the amount of floating aggregate and the tendency to develop washboards or corrugations. With use, fine and course portions of the aggregate segregate which also diminishes road performance. As the aggregate sources have been depleted and reduced in quality, unpaved roads increasingly have performance and economic challenges. The use of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) on gravel roads helps to improve the overall performance and life. Past studies also show substantial dust reduction when RAP is included in the road surface. However no clear relationship or methodology has been established to understand the connection between the RAP percentage and performance.

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.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.

4. Interpretation
• Results are Potential Impacts not Actual
• Must consider the assumptions made & data
limitations
• Does not account for technical performance,
costs, & many social impacts
Interpretation of LCA
results and comparisons
are not easy!

Featured Speaker: "Measuring environmental sustainability"Heather Dylla, P.E., Ph.D., Sustainability Engineer, National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA)Learn about the various ways agencies and regulators are measuring the "green" aspects of pavements.will feature a presentation on how to effectively measure environmental sustainability in pavement production and placement.new sustainability engineer, Dr. Heather Dylla, who will discuss various "green" metrics and other sustainable practices.
THE MAIN TOPICS I WILL COVER TODAY REALLY REFLECT THE MISSION OF NAPA IN 2014. THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS:
. A sustainable approach looks at access (not just mobility), movement of people and goods (not just vehicles), and provision of transportation choices, such as safe and comfortable routes for walking, bicycling, and transit. Sustainability encapsulates a diversity of concepts as well, including efficient use of funding, incentives for construction quality, regional air quality, climate change considerations, livability, and environmental management systems.

The procedure to conduct an LCA is defined in the ISO 14000-Environmental Management Standards and is phased approach consisting of 4 phases. The procedures provide a general LCA guidance and are not product or system specific.Review and refine
Goal of an LCA is to choose the best product, process, or service with the least effect on human health and environmentAim:Compare environmental burdens of process, product, or activityBenchmarkingIdentifying which phases contribute most to environmental impactAudience:InternalExternalScope:Data requirements, assumptions, limitations
Here is an example of what processes would be typically included in a LCA for hot mix asphalt. The first step of the LCA would be to identify what processes that are to be included in the study and what processes that are not by defining the system boundaries. Here we have identified the system boundaries to include everything in the yellow box. This type of study would be called a cradle-to-gate processes because we are not including the use and end of life, life cycle phases. Everything that is left out of the yellow box would not be included in the scope of the study. Where we define these boundaries significantly impacts our results. Other studies could have decided to include the environmental impact of all of the processes illustrated here, demonstrating why it is difficult to compare LCAs. It is important to note that this is just one aspect of why comparing LCAs is difficult. Differences can also occur from the data you used to estimate the environmental impacts of your upstream processes and also from the environmental impacts that you chose to be included in the study. For example one study may only look at the global warming potential while another is reviewing the acidification potential.As a result, there is movement to use Environmental Product Declarations.
THIS PRESENTATION COVERED A LOT OF GROUND. I WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE BY THANKING OUR NAPA MEMBERS FOR THEIR TIME AND TREASURE. THEY KNOW IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ANY OF THIS WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE ENTIRE ASPHALT INDUSTRY. NO ONE COPY CAN REPLACE THE WORK OF THE ASSOCIATION ESTABLISHED TO REPRESENT THE INDUSTRY’S INTEREST IN WASHINGTON, DC. LET ME GIVE YOU THREE REASONS WHY COMPANIES JOIN NAPA. 123FOR A COMPANY PRODUCING $100,000 TONS OF MIX, THAT’S A $2,000 INVESTMENT IN YOUR INDUSTRY THE FIRST YEAR. AND IF YOU DON’T THINK ITS WORTH IT, THEN DROP. NO MEMBER HAS EVER LOST A BID BECAUSE OF NAPA DUES. NEVER.
