The document discusses barriers to developing a robust energy efficiency financing market in Europe. It notes that while the potential benefits of energy efficiency are recognized, the market remains underdeveloped due to a lack of standardization, small project sizes, and few sources of financing. It argues that building capacity across the entire value chain, including the demand side, financial institutions, and supply side, is needed. Standardized tools and protocols for measurement and verification could help overcome barriers by streamlining transactions and enabling aggregation of projects. A healthy market would have standardized products, skills, tools for quantifying savings, and multiple sources of mainstream and large-scale financing.

Article Petroleum Economist Feb 2015
Upstream oil and gas projects regularly suffer from cost overruns and delays. The article argues that companies must transform their project management practices by adopting four key principles: 1) Focusing on leaner engineering designs through standardization and reuse; 2) Developing closer long-term collaborations with key suppliers; 3) Tailoring growth strategies to match true capabilities; 4) Implementing robust central governance of large projects. Case studies from other industries and Anadarko show this approach can significantly reduce costs while improving performance if all principles are applied together through cultural change and over multiple project generations.

Ska Rating CIBSE-Journal-2014-08
The Ska environmental rating tool for fit-outs has become widely adopted since its launch five years ago. It promotes sustainability in fit-out and refurbishment projects, which represent a significant portion of UK construction spending and carbon emissions. Ska assessments evaluate projects based on their implementation of simple, good practice measures rather than overall building performance calculations. This makes it suitable for fit-outs that only impact part of a building. While Ska use is growing, few building services engineers are yet trained as assessors, despite fit-outs requiring their input. RICS continues expanding Ska to more sectors like higher education.

This dissertation examines the effectiveness of life cycle costing (LCC) in sustainable construction. LCC allows evaluation of design options by considering all capital, operational, maintenance, and disposal costs over a building's lifetime. While an initial increase in capital expenditure may result in long-term savings, LCC faces limitations in its application within the industry. The research aims to identify how LCC can be integrated with sustainable design and whether it can effectively reduce environmental impacts. An online questionnaire was distributed to collect data from industry professionals on LCC use and barriers. The results will be analyzed to draw conclusions and recommendations on supporting LCC as a sustainability tool.

Shock and Ore CIBSE TM56 supplement
The new CIBSE guide TM56 aims to help engineers assess the whole-life environmental footprint of building services materials and products. It explains that focusing only on energy efficiency ignores other impacts like resource extraction, manufacturing emissions, and end-of-life impacts. While building services make up around 5% of initial embodied carbon for a building, they account for approximately 32% of embodied carbon over a 100-year life cycle due to maintenance, replacement and disposal. Considering whole-life impacts will help reduce costs, volatility, and environmental damage from mining and pollution.

Radiography introduction
Radiography uses x-rays to generate images of the internal structures of objects. X-rays are generated using an x-ray tube, which accelerates electrons toward a metal target. When the electrons collide with the target, x-rays are produced. These x-rays are used to expose radiographic film, creating a latent image. The film is then developed using chemical processes similar to photographic film development, making the latent image visible. The visible image reveals the internal structures and densities of the object in a manner similar to shadows.

Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like depression and anxiety.
Radiography ndt
Radiographic techniques are used to inspect castings and welds for defects. Common casting defects appear on radiographs as gas porosity, sand inclusions, shrinkage cavities, core shifts, metallic inclusions, cracks, and cold shuts. Weld defects include lack of penetration, incomplete fusion, slag inclusions, porosity, and undercut. Proper film processing, viewing conditions, and knowledge of defect appearances are required to accurately interpret radiographs and evaluate component quality.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoring
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Design and optimization of ion propulsion drone
Electric propulsion technology is widely used in many kinds of vehicles in recent years, and aircrafts are no exception. Technically, UAVs are electrically propelled but tend to produce a significant amount of noise and vibrations. Ion propulsion technology for drones is a potential solution to this problem. Ion propulsion technology is proven to be feasible in the earth’s atmosphere. The study presented in this article shows the design of EHD thrusters and power supply for ion propulsion drones along with performance optimization of high-voltage power supply for endurance in earth’s atmosphere.

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.

As the consortia have also been responsible for the design of the prison the need to follow a heavily prescriptive specification has been dispensed with and innovative new ways to deal with questions such as high levels of security and surveillance were introduced
- 45. e-Procurement There has been a growth in the number of tender documents being prepared in electronic format. The degree to which the entire procurement process is electronically based can vary widely. The main advantages claimed for e-procurement are: Simplification of the process Reducing costs and waste Avoids the need for duplication of effort when issuing documents Fairer assessment of bids. Web-based systems The most efficient and secure method of conducting e-procurement. An extranet (a closed/restricted) web-based portal is used to send information to the selected bidders only. The advantages are: The ability to securely communicate in real time All bidders access the same common pool of information.
