How to Save Energy and Cut Costs Throughout Your Facility
Costly energy losses are hiding around every corner in an industrial facility. At the loading dock, inefficient exterior doors, trailer door hinge gaps, and dock leveler gaps let valuable energy escape. These gaps combine to create significant openings, that left un-sealed, cost money through increased energy consumption. Further inside the facility, excessive energy is consumed by an abundance of ineffective floor and ceiling fans. Reducing the number of fans while improving the effectiveness of air movement can have a major impact on heating and cooling costs. Finally, if cold storage is part of the facility, inefficient freezer openings are a major drain on energy use. Attend this presentation to learn how to effecivley save on energy and reduce costs throughout your facility.

How can Smart Water increases city resilience?Marc Moreau
Smart city approaches can increase city resilience by focusing on water and wastewater services. ICT technologies like sensors, real-time monitoring, and data analytics can help utilities manage resources more efficiently and overcome disruptions from drought, pollution, flooding, and other hazards. While smart water systems involve costs, they allow utilities to better protect public health and the environment by detecting issues early and optimizing infrastructure operations.

The document discusses establishing a 'Fabric First' model for building refurbishment in the UK. It reviews the rationale for refurbishment due to climate change targets and the age of the UK housing stock. Legislative drivers like the Climate Change Act and Green Deal are outlined. A Fabric First approach focuses on insulating major elements like walls and roofs. Pilot projects found high reductions in CO2 emissions from this approach. However, a one-size-fits-all solution is not suitable due to the variety of UK housing. There are skills gaps across the refurbishment supply chain for approaches like solid wall insulation and project management of complex refurbishments. The document recommends areas where CoRE could help address skills gaps to enable

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.
