When it comes to sustainability reporting, companies may feel like they’re in an increasingly uncomfortable public-private vice. On one side, consumers and shareholders are pressuring organizations to be better corporate citizens and increase transparency. Governments are establishing more reporting requirements as well, which will inevitably multiply through initiatives such as the recent Sustainable Innovation Forum at COP21.
No matter how you look at it, the call for climate action is coming

INSTRUCTIONS Please read the case first and then answer specificall.docxmaoanderton
INSTRUCTIONS: Please read the case first and then answer specifically the proper questions asked
below. PLEASE ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS. PLEASE USE A SEPARATE SHEET OF PAPER TO ANSWER
YOUR QUESTIONS.
Backstory: General Electric Co. decided sustainability was a business opportunity rather than a cost and
pushed into the field in 2005 with its new initiative. But the products and services weren’t only for its
customers — they first transformed GE.
Key moves: GE began looking at sustainability as part of a demographic trend, realizing that scarcity would
increase with population growth. Energy and water use, waste, carbon emissions — all would decline
among the most efficient and sustainable companies. GE saw a profitable business opportunity in helping
companies along this sustainable path to offer environmental solutions.
GE also gambled that carbon would eventually be a cost, following the implementation of previous
regulatory regimes such as limiting acid rain. Although the precise way carbon would be regulated was
unknown, as it still is, the company had little doubt that regulation would happen. Rather than wait, GE
joined a climate coalition with nongovernmental organizations to press for a cap-and-trade system to
build certainty into the future.
Within the company, GE began engaging employees to see where energy savings could be found. That
might include turning off the lights when a factory was idle or even installing a switch so that lights could
be turned off. Ecomagination sold solutions within GE, whether the project involved installing LED lights
on a factory floor, recycling water at a nuclear facility or offering combined heat and power generation
units at a plant in Australia. Within GE, managers began to be measured on how much energy savings they
had achieved.
Impact: The company so far has saved $100 million from these measures and cut its greenhouse gas
intensity — a measure of emissions against output — by 41%, according to the company’s sustainability
report. The work inside GE became a proof of concept to external customers grappling with similar issues.
Ecomagination targeted C-level executives to build this business, since most problems cut across divisions
(improving energy efficiency, for example).
So far GE has invested $4 billion in this effort, much of it in research and development. But it reaped sales
of $17 billion in 2008, up 21% from a year earlier, and is striving for $25 billion in sales in 2010.

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.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

Energy Efficiency Program for Manufacturers
The multi–phase Energy Efficiency Program for Manufacturers was created to help Ohio manufacturers like
you reduce energy costs by diagnosing, planning, and implementing improvements at their facilities. Since
its inception, the program has contributed more than $24 million to Ohio’s manufacturing sector It has also
produced a combined annual“savings of 1,112,109 million British Thermal Units (gas, oil, other) and 79,256
megawatt hours.
The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's State Energy Program and Ohio's Advanced Energy
Fund, and designed to maximize efficiency in four phases. The Energy Efficiency Program for Manufacturers
defines these as:
Phase I is the identification of energy cost savings through a facilitated process which company
management examines how they think about energy within their business systems.
Phase II is the development of an energy plan that combines changes in business process methodologies
with the identification of cost–effective measures through the completion of a technical energy audit of the
company's facilities.
Phase III is the installation of the energy cost savings measures and many companies are eligible for
financing through Office of Energy to implement these measures.
Phase IV is measurement and verification of the energy cost savings measures.
The savings that can be accrued through being as efficient as possible when it come to your company’s energy
practices can be substantial.
Energy rates will continue to increase. Take effective countermeasures to ensure your business’s success
and maximize energy efficiency. For more information, please visit: http://development.ohio.gov/bs/bs_

The Ohio Development Services Agency
(ODSA)
Focused on supporting businesses, individuals, and communities throughout the state of Ohio, the Ohio
Development Services Agency is a great source for a wide variety of bonds, grants, loans and tax credits created
to help Ohio companies grow.
Governor Kasich formally changed the name of the Ohio Department of Development to the Ohio Development
Services Agency in 2012. This move signified the implementation of Ohio’s new economic development strategy;
part of which improved access to development capital for small—and minority—owned businesses.
ODSA provides a list featuring more than thirty programs that provide grants, training, and other forms of
assistance to manufacturers.

The Ohio Manufacturing Extension
Partnership (Ohio MEP)
The Ohio Manufacturing Extension Partnership (Ohio MEP), of which PolymerOhio/OH!Manufacturing
are members, is a non–profit organization whose mission is to support the growth and prosperity of the
manufacturing community.
The partnership is broken down across all of Ohio into regions covered by six organizations. PolymerOhio serves
manufacturers in the 11–county Central Ohio region.
Ohio MEP supports manufacturers by providing the products, services, and assistance that are dedicated to their
productivity, growth, and global competitiveness.
Since 2004, the Ohio MEP program has been working with specialized nonprofits to provide low–cost business
and technical assistance to small—and medium—sized manufacturers.
More specifically, the Ohio MEP accomplishes this by
Connecting clients with resources that can help address their operational challenges.
Providing a mix of free and for–fee services that draw upon the deep industry and functional expertise of
OH!Manufacturing consultants and external partners.
Enhancing product development and commercialization.
Improving operational efficiency and effectiveness.

Research and Development Tax Credits
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit or the R&D Tax Credit is an example of a money saver that is often
overlooked by manufacturers. These credits, first introduced in the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 to
promote investment in America and incentivize the hiring of workers to conduct R&D, currently save firms more
than $10 billion a year.
Previously, standards for R&D tax credit qualification were narrow and difficult to navigate, but this is no longer
the case. Things began to change over the past decade, largely in part to Dow Chemical and others waging a
lengthy legal battle with the goal of broadening the standards of for what kinds of research qualify for federal
subsidies.
Now, small and midsize manufacturers that employ engineers or conduct product testing (on or off site) can
claim R&D credits. Other expenses allowed under the credit include expenditures involved with obtaining a
patent (like attorney’s fees) and expenses incurred while developing or improving products and processes.
The credits have become more attractive for many reasons:
Significant simplification of the system.
Credits can now be transferred in the event of acquisition.
Credits can be taken retroactively.
These can ease the burden on startups, because R&D costs from years when a company has zero income can be
carried forward and used to offset taxes on future profits.

U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)
The U.S. Small Business Administration was founded in 1953 with the philosophy and mission of helping
Americans overcome the stresses of the Great Depression and World War II. Since that time, it has secured
millions of dollars worth of loans, contracts, and other forms of assistance for small business.
Extensive private–public partnerships between government agencies and the manufacturing industry have
fostered the creation of a network of programs and services to help your business get off the ground, expand,
and become profitable.
The SBA can help your manufacturing business from the get–go by providing information on a multitude of
matters, including:
Financing Small Manufacturing Businesses
Lean Process Improvements
Help navigating Environmental, OSHA, and Tax Regulations
In–Person, Start–Up, and Management Assistance
Aiding in Business Site Selection and Energy Efficiency Services

Investing in Manufacturing
Communities
IMCP is a new federal partnership designed to create a competitive
climate to inspire communities to invest in manufacturing. The IMCP
incentivizes economic development strategies that give you a leg up
when it comes to attracting global manufacturers.
They also offer a playbook that explains a three–step approach to
creating such a strategy and describes existing grant and technical
assistance resources that communities can leverage to their
advantage.
If you follow the steps listed in the IMCP Playbook and develop
and submit a winning manufacturing strategy, your community
could become one of up to twelve to receive designation as
a“Manufacturing Community.”Designated Manufacturing
Communities will receive preferable status when it comes to
consideration for $1.3 billion in federal money and assistance from
ten cabinet department/agencies.
To find out more about how to create and submit your strategy, and
what to do to turn where you live into a Manufacturing Community,
please visit: http://www.manufacturing.gov/imcp/index.html.
Advice from IMCP Playbook
Backbone: Build an organizational
backbone with the insight needed to
strengthen manufacturing and fully
support the work that follows.
Assessment: Conduct a community
self–assessment of the local industrial
ecosystem (i.e., the whole range
of physical, capital, and human
resource components needed for
manufacturing activities) to identify
current strengths and deficiencies.
Tune–up: Develop a comprehensive
and transformational tune–up strategy
that can be sustained over time.

Small Business Innovation Research
Program (SBIR)
The awards–based SBIR program encourages domestic small businesses to engage in Federal Research/Research
and Development (R/R&D) that has the potential for commercialization. It operates in a highly competitive
fashion in which small businesses gain further incentive to explore and increase their technological potential
and associated profits.
Manufacturers certainly don’t need extra incentives to make and sell the best products in the world, but if such
incentives are on the table you might as well grab a plate.
Each year, eleven federal agencies each with R&D budgets exceeding $100 million must allocate 2.8 percent of
that budget to these programs. Presently, there are eleven participating federal agencies.
SBIR Program Goals
Stimulate technological innovation
Meet federal research and development needs
Foster and encourage participation in innovation and entrepreneurship by socially and economically
disadvantaged persons
Increase private–sector commercialization of innovations derived from federal research and development
funding

Small Business Technology Transfer
Program (STTR)
STTR is another program intended to broaden funding for innovation and R&D. One of the program’s primary
attributes is its expansion of public/private partnerships, which now includes joint venture opportunities for
nonprofit research institutions and small businesses.
A huge benefit and unique feature of the STTR program is something manufacturers value highly: collaboration.
Small businesses participating in STTR are required to formally partner and work with a research institution in
the initial phases. By mandating collaboration, STTR is able to narrow the distance between the performance of
scientific processes and the commercialization of the resulting innovations.
STTR Program Goals
Stimulate technological innovation
Foster technology transfer through cooperative R&D between small businesses and research institutions
Increase private sector commercialization of innovations derived from federal R&D
The STTR promotes collaboration and streamlining your commercialization aspirations. For more
information, please visit: http://sbir.gov/about/about–sttr
