This document discusses sustainability and the need for convergence in design and systems to better address sustainability challenges. It provides a brief history of human civilization from the Renaissance to the current Digital Revolution. It then summarizes the collapse of Atlantic cod stocks in 1992 when overfishing led Canada to declare a moratorium. The key lessons were the impacts of technology, ecological uncertainty, and the tragedy of the commons where individual interests overwhelmed the collective interest. The conclusion calls for the design community to learn from this and start coordinating approaches before environmental deterioration becomes too great.

The document emphasizes the importance of individual actions like recycling to avoid natural disasters from climate change.
Article world habitat day 2011
Cities are both major contributors to climate change and highly vulnerable to its impacts. They generate over 70% of global CO2 emissions through industries, vehicles, energy use and waste. However, cities will also face many dangerous consequences of climate change like flooding, stronger storms, disease spread and sea level rise which threatens coastal cities. While cities cannot control climate change's impacts, they can take mitigation and adaptation actions to reduce their contributions and strengthen infrastructure. Many cities already aim to become more energy efficient, use renewable energy and reduce emissions. If well-planned and equipped, cities can lead initiatives to combat climate change through low-carbon practices and sustainable development.

anteater review 3.1.PDF
This document discusses ways that students can get involved to help protect the environment in the wake of the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It outlines several actions students can take, such as volunteering with organizations working on coastal restoration in Louisiana, supporting sustainable energy initiatives on campus, and contacting local politicians about preventing future offshore drilling disasters. The key message is that while the Gulf coast struggles to recover from the large oil spill, it is important for students to help drive solutions to protect the global environment and transition to more sustainable energy sources.
Drought
Droughts occur when there is not enough rainfall to support people or crops and can have severe consequences. Drought is caused by both natural factors like changes in weather patterns as well as human factors such as deforestation, overpopulation, and overextraction of water. The vast majority of deaths from drought have occurred in three countries: Ethiopia, Sudan, and Mozambique. Case studies of drought in Ethiopia and Australia show how drought can impact populations through famine, disease, loss of livestock, and economic hardship. Responses to drought involve aid efforts, management of water resources, and strategies to prevent desertification.

Global Warming
Global warming is causing severe weather events and threatening communities, economies, and national security. Nations are working toward an international agreement where all countries reduce their carbon pollution. The United States' plan to cap carbon emissions and expand renewable energy represents an important step to combat climate change and encourage global climate action ahead of a key meeting in Paris.
Summary of topic 6
This document discusses global warming and the role of greenhouse gases. It explains that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide trap heat in the atmosphere and maintain a global average temperature of 15°C, without which the temperature would be -15°C. It then discusses how human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation have increased greenhouse gas levels since 1850, likely contributing to increased global temperatures and potential impacts. The document also outlines strategies to mitigate global warming through reducing emissions and increasing carbon sinks.

Natural disasters have a significant impact on developing nations and poor communities within those nations. Some countries that are at high risk of death from multiple hazards include Bangladesh, Nepal, the Dominican Republic, and Burundi. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the most powerful earthquakes in over 40 years and killed tens of thousands in a dozen countries. While natural disasters instantly destroy resources, they also draw attention to societal issues like poverty, as was the case with Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Global warming leads to increased natural disasters like floods and windstorms through higher temperatures and more atmospheric moisture. Loss of infrastructure from disasters can increase indirect costs on the poor by reducing access to services. Natural disasters are a major cause
GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere, causing the earth's temperature to rise. This temperature rise hurts many living things and can cause death. The largest polluting countries are the US, China, Russia, India, and Japan. To address global warming, actions like using clean energy, driving efficient vehicles, reducing waste, and planting trees are recommended. However, warnings about the climate crisis have been clear for a long time, and if no action is taken soon, larger catastrophic changes may become unavoidable.
Minister's Presentation at 6th HLS
The document summarizes the key challenges facing Small Island Developing States (SIDS) related to water, waste, and climate change according to a speech given by the Minister for Works and Public Utilities of Grenada. It notes that SIDS face increasing water scarcity, flooding incidents, and pollution challenges which are exacerbated by climate change. Climate change is causing rising sea levels, warmer oceans, and changes to weather patterns that intensify hurricanes and drought. Grenada itself has experienced its worst drought in decades and seen impacts like disappearing graveyards. As head of the Alliance of Small Island States, Grenada will continue calling for limiting global warming and fulfilling climate funding commitments.
Interconnected ecosystems management fall 2010
The document discusses various topics related to environmental management including water, soil, atmosphere, and biological resources. It addresses the interconnectivity between these systems and different approaches to managing them, such as through species protection, habitat preservation, and restoring ecological processes. Property ownership models including private, common, and communal property are examined. Critical issues in water management are also explored, including water rights in the western US and tribal water quality standards.
Global Warming[1] 1V8
Global warming is causing significant issues around the world such as the growth of deserts and damage to ecosystems. The Kyoto Protocol and conferences in Bali aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate global warming. Some solutions to reduce global warming include using renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels, improving public transportation systems, and planting more trees.
SS11
The document discusses several key environmental issues:
1) Sustainable development aims to meet present needs without compromising the future, while ecological footprints measure countries' impacts on resources.
2) Fresh water scarcity is exacerbated by overuse polluting rivers and draining aquifers, though solutions like water restrictions aim to conserve supplies.
3) The ozone layer is depleted by chemicals like CFCs, though the Montreal Protocol phased them out, while the greenhouse effect from CO2 emissions is exacerbated by fossil fuel use and deforestation contributes to global warming and biodiversity loss.

Green building
Green buildings aim to minimize environmental impact and prioritize sustainability. They conserve resources through efficient design and construction practices like renewable energy generation, water recycling, and waste reduction. Green buildings provide benefits like reduced operating costs, healthier environments for occupants, and decreased environmental impact through lower emissions and less strain on natural resources. However, barriers to green building include a lack of developer education, high initial costs, and difficult approval processes.
Green/sustainable buildings
this presentation is about the green building concept. I have thrown some light on green building concept, its cost facts, why we need green buildings?, scope of green buildings and I have also described about my visit to a green building, about LEED, rating system of LEED, and some features of green buildings.
Leed
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a voluntary program that provides third-party verification of green buildings. It addresses the design, construction, operations, and maintenance of buildings with a framework to implement green building solutions. Projects earn points across several credit categories related to site design, water and energy use, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality to achieve different levels of LEED certification. LEED aims to lower operating costs, reduce waste and emissions, and create healthier spaces. The ITC Green Center in India is a LEED Platinum certified building that exemplifies water conservation, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and other sustainable design strategies.
GREEN BUILDING
The document summarizes the Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA) system, India's national rating system for green buildings. GRIHA provides a framework to design, construct and operate resource efficient and environmentally friendly buildings. It evaluates buildings based on 27 criteria related to site selection, water and energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and other sustainability factors. The rating system aims to promote sustainable construction practices and reduced environmental impact of buildings.
LEED Presentation
The document provides an overview of the LEED green building rating system developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). It discusses the history and purpose of LEED, the different rating systems (such as LEED-NC for new construction), the credit categories and structures, certification levels, and the certification process. It also briefly mentions the Emirates Green Building Council and provides a case study example. Tools and resources are listed, such as the USGBC website for accessing reference materials and LEED documentation.
An Introduction to the LEED Rating Systems
This presentation is a brief overview of sustainable design and the LEED Rating Systems. It covers the benefits of green buildings as well as the basic concepts and terms of the LEED Rating Systems.
What is a Green Building
A high performance green building is designed for economic and environmental performance over its entire life cycle, considering unique local climate and cultural needs and providing for the health, safety and productivity of its occupants. With continuous care over its life cycle, it minimises energy use, CO2 emissions, and total environmental impacts, and provides ongoing measurable value to building owners, occupants and society.
Life cycle costing (sqm)
This document discusses life cycle costing (LCC), which is an accounting method used to estimate total costs of owning an asset over its entire life. It explains that LCC can be used for affordability studies, source selection, design tradeoffs, and more. The key steps of LCC are defined as determining the time period for costs, estimating costs, calculating net present values, summing costs annually, and analyzing results. An example LCC analysis is provided comparing costs of owning four different cars over four years to demonstrate how LCC can identify the most economical option.
Sustainable building in India
The CII-Godrej Green Business Centre in India was the first building to receive LEED Platinum certification outside of the US. It uses various sustainable design and construction features, such as a circular structure to maximize ventilation, local and recycled materials, passive cooling techniques like wind towers, a green roof for stormwater management and reduced energy consumption. The building aims to be a model for green building practices and environmental stewardship in India.
Teri
The Energy Research Institute building in Bangalore, India was established in 1974. It houses approximately 75 workstations and a small guest house. It utilizes various passive design strategies to reduce energy usage, including orientation to maximize northern light, a double wall on the south side for insulation, ventilated cavities to promote air flow, skylights, and a rainwater collection system. Passive design elements like a terraced garden, hollow walls, and an underground earth berm also help moderate temperatures without mechanical cooling.
Teri, bangalore & solar passive techniques(rupesh)
The document summarizes the green building features of TERI's campus in Bangalore. The campus utilizes passive design principles to maximize natural lighting, ventilation and minimize energy usage. Key features include an optimized building orientation, ample fenestrations for cross ventilation, skylights, green roofs, solar panels, rainwater harvesting and use of local sustainable materials. Passive design strategies like earth air tunnels help regulate indoor temperature passively.

EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING ON THE COASTS
Global warming refers to the long-term rise in average surface temperatures due to increased greenhouse gas emissions. Burning fossil fuels and forest destruction emit excess greenhouse gases that create a thicker blanket and increase heat in the atmosphere. Human activities are the main cause of climate change and global warming. Coastal communities and ecosystems are especially vulnerable to sea level rise, stronger storms, and other effects of climate change. Millions of people in India may be displaced as climate change exacerbates flooding and erosion in coastal areas. Sustainable development practices that reduce carbon emissions and protect natural resources are needed to mitigate climate change impacts.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

This research paper introduces an innovative modulation technique for controlling a 3-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMLI), aiming to streamline the modulation process in contrast to conventional methods. The proposed
simplified modulation technique paves the way for more straightforward and
efficient control of multilevel inverters, enabling their widespread adoption and
integration into modern power electronic systems. Through the amalgamation of
sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) with a high-frequency square wave
pulse, this controlling technique attains energy equilibrium across the coupling
capacitor. The modulation scheme incorporates a simplified switching pattern
and a decreased count of voltage references, thereby simplifying the control
algorithm.

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdf
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

- 7. Collapse of Atlantic Cod Stocks
- 8. In 1992 the Canadian government declared a moratorium on the Northern Cod fishery, which for the past 500 years had largely shaped the lives and communities of Canada's eastern coast. The interplay between fishing societies and the resources which they depend on is obvious to almost any observer: fisheries transform the ecosystem, which pushes the fishery and society to adapt.[2] In 1992 summer, when the Northern Cod biomass fell to 1% of its earlier level,[3] Canada's federal government saw that this relationship had been pushed to breaking point, and they declared a moratorium, ending the region's 500-year run with the Northern Cod. ! Lessons leant: Technology - Introduction and proliferation of equipment and technology that increased volume of landed fish Ecological Uncertainty - Imperfect understanding of the ocean ecosystem led to incomplete data. Socioeconomic - Tragedy of the Commons : what is in the individual's best interest is not always in the best interest of a society at whole Collapse of Atlantic Cod Stocks
- 9. Only way forward The design community must learn from the New Found Land cod crisis and start negotiating on ways to work together before the entire system collapse because the environment is too deteriorated to salvage. Remember the Tragedy of the Commons: There should only be one interest i.e. the environment and individual discipline. Time for change!
