This proposal suggests expanding the Pay As You Save (PAYS) financing model to provide $10 billion in financing for distributed clean energy upgrades and resources. PAYS allows utility customers to purchase energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy systems through a voluntary tariff on their utility bill. There are no upfront costs, ongoing savings are guaranteed, and the obligation transfers with the property. This could expand access to financing for rural and low-income customers in the US and globally, growing clean energy investment from $10 million to $3 billion annually in rural America and over $10 billion total worldwide.
SPB implemented several water conservation measures at its paper machine that reduced fresh water usage. They included recycling vacuum pump cooling water back to the pumps instead of sending it to the ETP. They also reused deculator vacuum pump sealing water by routing it through a cooling tower instead of to the white water tank. These changes eliminated fresh water makeup for the vacuum systems and reduced the overall fresh water usage.
Concrete restoration is needed when reinforcement corrosion has damaged concrete. The corrosion occurs due to water and salt penetration through cracks or pores in the concrete. Proper restoration techniques like abrasive blasting, repair material application, and protective coatings can remove corroded concrete, reinforce the structure, and prevent further corrosion.

Practical project risk assessment
Presented by Simon White
Monday 10th October 2016
APM North West branch and Risk SIG conference
Alderley Park, Macclesfield
Cement and concrete are used interchangeably but there are technical distinctions and the meaning of cement has changed since the mid-nineteenth century when ferrocement originated. Ferro- means iron although metal commonly used in ferro-cement is the iron alloy steel. Cement in the nineteenth century and earlier meant mortar[2] or broken stone or tile mixed with lime and water to form a strong mortar.[3] Today cement usually means Portland cement,[4] Mortar is a paste of a binder (usually Portland cement), sand and water; and concrete is a fluid mixture of Portland cement, sand, water and crushed stone aggregate which is poured into formwork (shuttering). Ferro-concrete is the original name of reinforced concrete (armored concrete) known at least since the 1890s and in 1903 it was well described in London's Society of Engineer's Journal[5] but is now widely confused with ferrocement.
This document provides an overview of the history and purpose of the STAAD Pro software. It was one of the first structural analysis programs, originally developed for DOS systems. It has since evolved to have a graphical user interface for Windows systems. The document outlines the basic four step process for using STAAD Pro to analyze and design structural models: creating geometry, assigning properties/loads, performing analysis, and reviewing results. It serves as an introduction for new users to understand the capabilities and workflow of the STAAD Pro program.
This document discusses retrofitting reinforced concrete bridge columns with steel jackets to improve their performance during earthquakes. It begins with a literature review on earthquakes, building failures, and steel jacketing. It then describes a parametric study analyzing the behavior of reinforced concrete columns with and without steel jackets subjected to biaxial bending and axial loads from different earthquake modes. The results show that steel jacketing enhances column capacity, reduces lateral deflection, and increases ductility. In conclusion, steel jacketing is an effective retrofitting technique to improve column performance during seismic events.
ABSTRACT
Ferrocement addition in cement mortar or concrete increases the performance of material. The present paper describes the results of testing flat ferrocement panels reinforced with different number of wire mesh layers. The main objective of these experimental tests is to study the effect of using different numbers of wire mesh layers on the flexural strength of flat ferrocement panels and to compare the effect of varying the number of wire mesh layers on the ductility and the ultimate strength of these types of ferrocement structures.
The used number of wire mesh layers is one, two, three and four layers.
The experimental results show that flexural strength of the folded panels increased by 37% and 90% for panels having 2 and 3 wire mesh layers respectively, copared with that having single layer, while for flat panel the increase in flexural strength compared with panel of plan mortar is 4.5%, 65% and 68% for panels having 1, 2 and 3 wire mesh layers respectively. The strength capacity of the folded panels, having the particular geometry used in the present study, is in the order of 3.5 to 5 times that of the corresponding flat panels having the same number of wire mesh layers. Both types are also analyzed using finite element method to check the flexural stresses in these panels under self weight and cracking load.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

2. What is Energy Management?
Definition: The sum of measures planned and carried
out to achieve the objective of using the minimum
possible energy while the comfort levels and the
production rates are maintained.
Energy Reduction:
Goals that focus on reducing energy consumption
Energy Conservation:
Long term goals that focus on minimizing energy
consumption over time
3. Pain Points
• Increased Global Demands = Higher Sustained Prices
– Electricity, Natural Gas, Coal, Oil
• Do NOT have a Baseline
• Aging Buildings and Equipment
• Climactic Effects and Disasters
• No Buy In from Staff
6. Reality Check
• The combined number of Commercial and Industrial
Facilities in the USA is over 5 million.
• America’s Commercial and Industrial Facilities spend more
than $202.3 billion annually on energy.
• $20 Billion would be saved if Commercial and Industrial
Buildings improved by just 10 percent.

Awareness alone can get you up to 10% in savings.
7. It Can Be Done
• Energy Star rated buildings use 35 percent less energy and
generate 35 percent fewer Greenhouse gas emissions
compared to average buildings.
• Buildings that have earned the Energy Star cost 50 cents
less per square foot to operate.

52. Energy Master Planning
The Necessary Evil
Primary Purpose of an EMP:
To prepare a concise, well‐thought‐out plan for the
systematic replacement of the facility’s primary energy
consuming equipment.
Typically:
Equipment replacement projects occur as a result of
equipment failure.
Emergency equipment replacement projects occur as a
result of planning failure.
53. Energy Master Planning
The Necessary Evil
The typical return on investment for energy efficient projects:
HVAC Renovation = 5‐7 Years
Lighting and Controls = 3‐5 Years
*Retro‐Commissioning = 1 Year
Operations Changes = 6 Months
*Commissioning for Existing Buildings (sometimes referred to as retro‐commissioning) is a systematic process for
investigating, analyzing, and optimizing the performance of building systems by improving their operation and
maintenance to ensure their continued performance over time. This process helps make the building systems
perform interactively to meet the owner’s current facility requirements.
57. Looking for Other Savings
Opportunities
• Understand billing structure, evaluate rates, and negotiate with utility companies
when applicable.
• Research Rebates and Incentives with Federal, State, Local Government, and Utility
