Introduction Rational Based on the past experience in the area of environment and resource studies‚ the environmental problems such as the accumulation of heavy metals in water and sediment in the canal and river have been the major focus in the study area. The study shows that the major source of heavy metals that accumulate in water and sediment is industries. As a result‚ it motivates the researcher to choose the research topic about industrialization is responsible for the world’s environmental

for building materials affect the energy consumption for a building in terms of heating and cooling requirements. In the introduction an overview of major energy policies is given as well as a foundation for residential energy efficiency improvements and a description of the key components in other eco-cities. A baseline and two scenarios with different energy performance were created in the modeling software DesignBuilder to calculate the energy consumption for heating and cooling. It resulted in

The escalating costs for natural gas and oil clearly have a major impact for manufacturers in Nigeria that‚ left unaddressed‚ could hurt their competitiveness in world markets. Moreover‚ energy experts predict that global market pressures on oil and gas markets will ensure that high prices will be with us for some time. Being better energy managers is important not only for each company‚ but is also an essential

the Government’s wish to reduce carbon emissions; we do not address how far such reductions are justified as a contribution to a world-wide effort. Targets have focused the spotlight on renewable rather than other means of reducing emissions such as energy efficiency or greater use of nuclear power. The EU is committed to a binding target that 20% of its energy consumption should be from renewable sources by 2020. Individual states’ contributions to the overall target are still only proposals and some

A green development pathway based on low energy consumption and low carbon emissions is essential if China is to find a sustainable path to growth. The environmental aspects of the plan are likely to be boiled down to five

Over the last two decades there has been a growing understanding of the world and its inhabitants as a single system‚ and of the need to combine two key global aims in the development of human activities: to accelerate human development‚ particularly in the poorest countries‚ and to remove the gross inequities present in the world today; while at the same time avoiding the depletion of the resources and biological systems of the planet to such an extent
