The document discusses using life cycle assessment (LCA) in the design process of restorative heritage refurbishment. It provides an overview of LCA, describing the life cycle stages and impact categories assessed. It also compares LCA databases, methods, and software tools, noting the need for location-specific and consistent data and methods. The presentation concludes that integrated LCA and design workflow tools are needed to apply LCA throughout the design process for refurbishment projects.
Social Infrastructure for Smart Cities Vasudha Kamat
This presentation was made during a Session on Social Infrastructure in a 2-day Conclave on Smart Cities: Delivery of Civic Services organised by Vijnan Bharati on June 6-7, 2015.
With growing scientific approaches like Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Green Construction and Sustainable design will be more efficient in the near future as the present design and rating systems are not scientifically and statistically enriched. Life Cycle Assessment is all about Compilation and evaluation of the inputs, outputs and the potential environmental impacts of a product system throughout its life cycle”. This establishes an environmental profile of the system. Impacts taken into account include (among others) embodied energy, global warming potential, resource use, air pollution, water pollution, and waste. This presentation mainly depicts how Life Cycle Assessment is performed and applied.
The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) was formed by the Confederation of Indian Industry(CII) in 2001. The council is based out of the CII Green Business Centre, Hyderabad which is India’s 1st Platinum rated green building. The vision of the council is to enable ‘Sustainable built environment for all.
IGBC is the country's premier body for green building certification and allied services. Today, with strong support from various stakeholders, IGBC has achieved the following significant milestones:
- 4,400+ projects registered with IGBC from various parts of India and abroad, amounting to a total footprint of 4.72 billion sq. ft.
- 22 IGBC green building ratings to cover all typologies of projects - residential, commercial, industrial, healthcare, etc.
- 2,100+ IGBC Member Organizations comprising developers, corporates, architects, consultants, institutes, government, etc
- 2,800+ qualified IGBC Accredited Green Building Professionals more than 30,000 stakeholders have been trained by IGBC till date.

Materials Matter - Construction Materials and their Environmental CostsThink Wood
This presentation will show how the life cycle assessment makes it easier for architects to incorporate environmental considerations into their building material selection. It will discuss the life cycle impacts of wood, concrete and steel and demonstrate that over its life cycle, wood is better for the environment than steel or concrete in terms of embodied energy, air and water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, this presentation will highlight the advances each industry is making toward sustainability.

Green construction or sustainable building refers to both a structure and the application of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.
Green building, or sustainable design, is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings and their sites use energy, water, and materials, and of reducing impacts on human health and the environment for the entire lifecycle of a building. Green-building concepts extend beyond the walls of buildings and include site planning, community and land-use planning issues as well.
The growth and development of our communities have a large impact on our natural environment. The manufacturing, design, construction, and operation of the buildings in which we live and work are responsible for the consumption of many of our natural resources.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

LITERATURE REVIEW
- LCA mostly conducted on ‘exemplary’ new construction buildings.
- Lack of data on more ‘generic’ buildings
- Lack of data on refurbishment
- Mostly used as ‘final result evaluation’, not in design decisions
- Recently, big leaps in aligning LCA for products and buildings in Europe.
