Accordingly, factors like failure rates and repairability are relevant, as building energy components come from varied origins and have ad hoc assembly by local labour. The closest standards to measure repairability in this context are DIN 45554 and ISO 20887, but they lack the on-site system-of-system approach and an explicit evaluation score respectively. Therefore, this work aims to create a suitable evaluation system based on these standards. This is achieved with a multicriteria scoring system, evaluated by the research community via a survey and tested on two houses in Wuppertal. This component-indicator scoring matrix is additionally tested in sensitivity scenarios such as system boundaries or interpretations. The best evaluated components are the meter and battery (84%–89%), which are simple components with good documentation. Roof-mounted components are the worst evaluated (48%–60%) as they have reduced accessibility and require more preparation. Sensitivity analysis shows a maximal deviation of 3.5%, which does not change which house has a better score (72 vs 68%). Common weak spots are poor labelling or accessibility. Based on the limited number of installations examined, the scoring system seems stable. Further investigations should include additional experiments, professional interviews, and relating the score to monetary and environmental benefits, allowing the layperson to better interpret the benefits of repairability. Acknowledging its limitations, the indicators still help reduce mounting/identifying/dismounting challenges by highlighting subcomponents that can be simplified or standardised.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34618,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Engineering and Technology","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 101242"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148177960","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}

It is hypothesized that moderate replacement levels (5-15%) of MWIA can maintain acceptable mechanical performance while contributing to environmental sustainability.

Yet, while prior research has identified barriers and success factors for LC adoption, there remains a critical gap in understanding how to prioritize and sequence enablers for systemic diffusion, especially under resource and institutional constraints. Addressing this, the present study reconceptualizes LC implementation as a multi-level diffusion process, wherein the salience of enablers shifts with context, method, and implementation phase.

This method leverages immobilized Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) to produce alternative options to the amino-acid-based protein supplements that are currently available. Here, we have optimized the binding and conversion efficiency of bioconjugate to catalyze deamination of bulk phenylalanine present in protein hydrolysate. The scale-up was optimized and further simulated to produce 200 metric tons of processed protein annually for the management of Phenylketonuria (PKU). This scale-up was modeled using the scale-down data from 3, 14, and 50 L volumes. Our analysis indicated that performing enzyme production in a 5000 L bioreactor reduced enzyme costs by 57.5% compared to smaller scales, achieving a total production cost of $1.47/kg of low-Phe protein. Almost 69% of the total cost is attributed to raw materials, with the procurement of crude protein and Tris-Cl buffer being the major expense drivers. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results demonstrated significant environmental trade-offs: the enzymatic route reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 40% compared to synthetic amino acid blends but incurred higher land and water use due to agricultural inputs and fermentation. This study confirms the strategic rationale, emphasizing scale optimization and enzyme recycling for cost-effective, high-volume therapeutic protein formulations for patients with PKU.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34618,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Engineering and Technology","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101185"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147612613","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}
