The study aims to outline conclusive strategies to conserve embodied water and embodied energy, together with regulatory insights. Following the International Organization for Standardization’s 14046 and 14044 frameworks, the experiment accounts for cradle-to-gate lifecycle assessment, taking Jammu’s conventional houses in India as cases. Observing top-impacting embodied water materials differ from embodied energy ones, the experiment delves into the appraisal of ‘threats’ and ‘opportunities’ in locals’ preferences using the scenario manager technique. Not only was the embodied water and embodied energy offsetting by almost 30% achieved, but also, the flexible scenarios suiting economically diverse users have significant pragmatic worth. While the recommendations base is the embodied water-energy nexus and retains societal interests; indeed, the methodology and study’s implications are global and replicable. The experiment meets the three pillars of sustainability and thereby remarkably boosts the sustainable building practice.","PeriodicalId":46202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy Water and Environment Systems-JSDEWES","volume":"13 2","pages":"1-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147882346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It presents a non-negligible source of greenhouse gas emissions in part production processes. This paper investigates the ecological and economic advantages of induction as an alternative heating method and identifies break-even scenarios. Therefore, specific energy demands for various furnace and induction heating operating states are determined and applied to different energy system transition scenarios. It can be shown that while induction heating can be more energy efficient than furnace heating, its ecological and economic advantages are highly dependent on regional electricity-to-gas price ratios and electric energy emission factors. For high good-mass flows (0.5 kg/s) and 80% production capacity utilisation, an electricity-to-gas price ratio lower than 1.24 and an emission factor lower than 250 g CO2 /kWh are required.","PeriodicalId":46202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy Water and Environment Systems-JSDEWES","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44301503","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 paper explores the feasibility of implementing full-scale co-digestion of municipal sewage sludge with fruit biowaste through the synergetic effects obtained at the laboratory scale. The efficiency/stability of the process was studied for three hydraulic retention times. By using simple tools to evaluate the performance of the anaerobic digestion system, such as the specific methane indicator and the energy potential recovery indicator, it was shown that the shortest retention time of 13 days had the highest methane production and almost doubled the specific methane production, thus contributing to sustainable waste management and energy self-sufficiency of wastewater treatment plants.","PeriodicalId":46202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy Water and Environment Systems-JSDEWES","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43136747","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}
