Through Sensitivity analysis, this study explores the relationship between design parameters of spatial structures and environmental consequences for each geometric form within a large office space in Boston, employing a multidisciplinary approach that integrates Python with parametric modeling software. Specifically, it aims to determine which variables—such as length, width, and height for a cube, and height, radius, and length for a cylinder—most significantly influence the environmental outcomes. The research primarily employs Rhino and Grasshopper for parametric modeling of a cube and a cylinder, followed by climate analysis using Honeybee and Ladybug tools. Subsequently, the Environmental Impact of energy consumption during the operational phase (B6 stage) is assessed through OpenLCA. The findings indicate that the cylinder configuration offers significantly better energy efficiency and 5.3% lower environmental impact compared to the cube. Sensitivity analysis through Scatter plot, FRE, XGBoost, RF, and SHAP values diagrams highlight that among the cube’s parameters (length, width, height), length is a critical factor for its sustainable design, while for the cylinder varieties (height, radius), height holds greater significance. Among the various environmental impacts assessed, fossil fuel depletion emerged as the most crucial category. The investigation conclusively underlines the imperative of optimizing geometric parameters to significantly influence reduce the ecological footprint, thereby advocating for strategic, evidence-based design decisions in the sustainable architecture field.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100598,"journal":{"name":"Green Technologies and Sustainability","volume":"3 4","pages":"Article 100222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144230987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These by-products are not only rich in silica but are also produced in large quantities annually, making them ideal candidates for SNPs production. This review discusses the synthesis methods of SNPs from agricultural residues and their potential to enhance crop productivity, particularly under abiotic stressors. The novelty of this work lies in its focus on the sustainability triangle – economic, environmental, and social sustainability – in the context of SNPs production from agricultural residues. Studies suggest that SNPs can mitigate the negative effects of various abiotic stresses, including salinity, drought, and heavy metal toxicity. However, despite their promising potential, the SNPs extraction process needs further optimization, considering the different isolation methods and process variables.

In response, researchers have extensively explored the role of big data analytics in bolstering supply chain resilience during the post-pandemic and war-time recovery phase. Again, to reduce dependency on finite resources, minimize waste, and create adaptive, closed-loop systems, the role of circular economy has also been analyzed widely. However, the interaction between these two, such as how big data analytics impacts supply chain resilience within the framework of circular economy, is still underexplored. Hence, this study aims to explore the mediating role of circular economy in the relationship between big data analytics and supply chain resilience, especially focusing on the readymade garments manufacturing sector of an emerging economy like Bangladesh. A second-order hierarchical component model has been developed and tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling to achieve this. The first-order constructs and measurement items were sourced from an extensive literature review and insights from experts in the Bangladeshi readymade garments sector. The study demonstrates that circular economy significantly plays the role of a partial mediator in the relationship between big data analytics and supply chain resilience. This indicates that while big data analytics directly enhances supply chain resilience, its effectiveness is further amplified when integrated with circular economy practices. The study’s findings offer valuable insights for industry managers and policymakers, enabling them to utilize big data analytics in order to align industrial practices with circular economy principles and bolster supply chain resilience to maintain and improve ecological and socio-economic sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100598,"journal":{"name":"Green Technologies and Sustainability","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144242824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, automotive manufacturers are increasingly compelled to explore alternative green energy sources for vehicle propulsion. In this context, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) have emerged as a promising solution in the transition towards clean and sustainable transportation. This review article focuses on the development and application of fuel cell technologies specifically Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) and Alkaline Fuel Cells (AFCs) as viable alternatives for the future of the automotive industry. We provide a detailed comparative analysis of the utility, efficiency, and development status of both PEMFCs and AFCs. Our findings suggest that PEMFCs are well-positioned to lead the future of transportation, mobile power systems, and stationary energy applications, owing to their high-power density and low operating temperatures. However, realizing their full potential will require advancements in hydrogen infrastructure and cost reduction of key materials. In contrast, AFCs offer benefits in terms of cost-effectiveness and simplicity of design, making them suitable for energy storage systems and niche markets. Nonetheless, wider adoption of AFCs will depend on overcoming challenges such as CO<sub>2</sub> sensitivity and improving their long-term operational durability. Additionally, this review highlights key parameters—including strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges (SWOC analysis) affecting the development and deployment of fuel cell vehicles. We also compare FCEVs with battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs), emphasizing the environmental concern that electricity production for battery charging still carries a significant carbon footprint. Given these considerations, PEMFC-based fuel cells present a more compatible and scalable solution for the automotive sector, particularly for heavy commercial vehicles, which demand robust and efficient power systems. Looking forward, AFC technology also holds potential for integration into automotive applications as advancements continue. We believe this review contributes to the growing body of research aimed at accelerating the adoption of clean and sustainable vehicle technologies, helping to shape a greener future for the global transportation industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100598,"journal":{"name":"Green Technologies and Sustainability","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143929369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general, the results showed that adding ESP and NESP reduces penetration, increases softening point and viscosity values, and decreases ductility. NESP demonstrated better performance in terms of storage stability and mass loss at high temperatures. The DSR test revealed that the rutting parameter increased as ESP and NESP concentration increased, respectively. Additionally, NESP showed better enhancement in physical and rheological properties than ESP. Notably, 9% NESP represented the best concentration for improving bitumen properties.
