To cut 5% of global emissions, alternative materials to substitute cement concentration in building materials must be sourced. This review identified some agricultural waste, such as sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA), palm leaf ash, and rice husk ash, with potential materials for partial substitution or replacement for cement. It also discusses the influence of incorporating agricultural waste on critical properties of building materials such as bricks, interlocks, concrete, and pavements. Adding these agricultural wastes could increase bricks’ strength by 65% and reduce unit weight by 25%. It also improves bio bricks’ compressive strength, water resistance, and bulk density. Optimising agricultural waste-loading-producing building materials is critical to their performance and must be considered for developing brick materials with improved properties. The review established that 50% of cement concentration could be replaced with SCBA, or hybridising rice husk ash, agricultural olive waste (AOW), sugarcane leaf waste ashes (SLWA), and rice husk (RH). This suggested that 100% of cement is achievable by exploring hybridising SCBA, a combination of rice husk, (AOW), (SLWA), and (RH) to develop a sustainable material without compromising the required properties for construction application. Incorporating agricultural waste is a viable way to develop more cost-effective and sustainable building materials with no cement content, resulting in a 5% global emission cut and a low-carbon environment.","PeriodicalId":14400,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139230801","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}

This research utilizes the Delphi approach, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Sustainable Value Stream Mapping (SVSM), and Traffic Light System (TLS). The Delphi method is employed to assess pertinent indicators. Meanwhile, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is utilized to evaluate the importance of the TBL and workstation indicators. The SVSM and TLS techniques were employed to chart the TBL indicators. The Manufacturing Sustainability Index (MSI) scores were computed using indicators, workstation weights, and indicator efficiency. Additionally, a case study is provided on the tire sector in Indonesia. The tire industry's MSI findings showed a performance score of 85.52%, signifying the need for improvement in performance.

The project demonstrates the application of Design for Lean Six Sigma and a structured Define, Measure, Analyse, Design, and Verify methodology in designing and implementing a process that enables the case study manufacturing site to improve its space utilisation and free up space. The project resulted in increased space usage of approx. 38000 sq. ft. equating to a hard cost saving of over $13 million for the organisation and a cost avoidance of $22 million. The study’s contribution is that it highlights for the first time that the Design for Lean Six Sigma methodology can be utilised for space and facility utilisation and can be leveraged by other manufacturers. This study has academic and managerial implications for identifying best practices for Design for Lean Six Sigma methodology application in Strategic facility planning. This study contributes to the few academic published works to utilise Design for Lean Six Sigma methodology for space utilisation in a highly regulated environment.

To estimate wave power density (WPD) for three time periods (past: 1979–2005, mid-century: 2026–2050, and end-century: 2081–2100), we utilized significant wave height and mean wave period obtained from eight General Circulation Models. Using an ensemble of these WAVEWATCH III simulated datasets, we calculated WPD and assessed overall and seasonal trends, projecting changes under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios. Results revealed higher potential WPD in the western GoG, particularly near the coast, with increased values offshore. Spatially, WPD change rates varied widely (−0.021 to 0.039 kW/m per year), suggesting both positive and negative trends, though generally low. Projections indicated a potential increase from 0.5 to 1.0 kW/m by the end of the century. The estimated potential power for harvesting exceeded 14,000 MW, with offshore regions showing better wave converter performance. This study concludes that GoG's wave energy is a promising renewable resource, offering a potential solution to future power needs and contributing to regional greenhouse gas emission mitigation.","PeriodicalId":14400,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135883567","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 replacements for conventional AC appliances, DC appliances and Brushless DC (BLDC) motor-based devices are now readily accessible. A normal two-bedroom condominium was used for the research, and the AC bus arrangement was changed to include DC bus power from rooftop solar cells and AC bus bar power from the state power system. As before, the AC bus will continue to power high power appliances like geysers and pump engines while the DC bus will continue to power the DC appliances. A combination DC-AC house with rooftop solar electricity has been studied for feasibility using simulation studies using Matlab and Simulink.

In this study, we introduce an innovative approach to examine the influence of MSW recycling on waste performance over multiple years. We employ a non-parametric method to assess and compare the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) and the Malmquist-Luenberger Productivity Index (MLPI) across 143 municipalities in Chile from 2015 to 2019. The findings reveal a positive trend in both MPI and MLPI. The average eco-productivity change (MLPI) is relatively lower than the average productivity change (MPI) throughout the evaluated years. The aggregated scores for MPI and MLPI between 2015 and 2019 stand at 2.73 and 1.33, respectively. The primary driver of productivity change is attributed to technical advancements, leading to a shift in the efficient frontier, while eco-productivity change predominantly arises from efficiency enhancements. This implies that municipalities have employed diverse strategies to enhance their economic and environmental performance.

The workability, compressive, tensile, and flexural strength are investigated under factors such as rPET fibre volume, dimensions, water–cement ratio, and the use of blended cement. This review includes experimental results of previously conducted rPET-FRC research along with results gained from rPET-FRC where the rPET fibres are obtained from the same recycling plant. Furthermore, the experimental results are broadly elaborated by explaining the reasons behind the obtained results. This review is a valuable reference that offers insights into the effectiveness of rPET fibres in enhancing concrete’s overall mechanical properties. By highlighting the most effective rPET fibre volume fractions, water-cement ratios, and the influence of blended cement, this review enables researchers to optimise the design and application of rPET-FRC, promoting sustainable and innovative solutions in the global infrastructure sector.
