The growing energy demands and the negative ecological impact of the industrialisation have led to increased focus towards sustainability. This paper presents different strategies being adopted to mitigate the environmental degradation caused due to automotive sector. A systematic approach is adopted to present all the environmental conscious technologies in vogue in the automotive sector. The paper focuses on the production processes adopted, materials used, fuels, recyclability issues and the environmental hazard mitigation during the operation of the automobiles. An overview of the potential of natural fibre reinforced composites in the automotive sector is also included. Moreover, recent advances in automobile tribology, fuel efficient engines, hybrid electric cars and technologies which aid in the treatment of the exhaust gases are also discussed. The paper also presents the scope of vegetable oils as bio-fuels and their use as sustainable lubricants. A summary of the global market trends with regard to use of greener vehicle alternatives is also provided in this work.

Indoor lighting-levels (illuminances) of 180 classrooms in 60 public [primary and secondary] schools located in all six geopolitical zones of Nigeria, were experimentally investigated 12 times under three different sky-conditions ['clear', 'partly-clear' and 'overcast'] using the Hagner digital lux-meter. The analysed empirical-data were: 'Mean indoor illuminance for tasks on desks' tops near windows exposed to direct sunlight and/or higher illumination(Ld(DSL))' ranging from 1,243 lux-4,486 lux, 'Mean indoor illuminance for tasks on desks' tops near windows exposed to indirect sunlight and/or lower illumination(Ld(ISL))' ranging from 674 lux-2,987 lux, 'Mean indoor illuminance for tasks on desks' tops at Center of Classroom(Ld(CrC))' ranging from 101 lux-449 lux and 'Mean indoor illuminance for tasks on boards(Lb)' ranging from 110 lux-494 lux. Three globally recommended standards' ['CIE-ISO', 'IESNA', and 'EN'], values [of minimal/optimal lighting-levels for classroom-activities like 'reading on the blackboard' (Lsb 500 lux) and 'writing, drawing and reading on desks' (Lsd = 300 lux)]; and the follow-up statistical-analyses reveal 'excessive solar irradiation' and/or 'inadequate illumination' in the classrooms.

Comprising all the aspects of the hotel sustainable technologies in a single 'state-of-the-art' paper is something missing from up-to-date tourist literature. Information on the subject is fragmented in various articles, web resources and the records of relevant tourism institutions and organisations. The concept of sustainability in this paper deals only with environmental (water, energy, waste, food and certification), social (local support and ethics) and technological (construction, smart applications and artificial intelligence) aspects. The sample of the study comprises Greek hotels with relevant published information on the internet. A corresponding quantitative review is topic of another paper. The reason we focus on Greek hotels is the importance of tourism for the Greek economy. Results demonstrate the vast variety of sustainability standards some hotels have accomplished. It is envisaged that this paper will serve as a blueprint first for hoteliers, providing them with a benchmark in their businesses and an ideal sustainable reference point and second it may also help policy makers to obtain a qualitative overview of hotel sustainability in Greece and thus equip them with knowledge in designing policy measures aiming at the promotion and further advancement of sustainability in Greek hotels.

This study aimed to identify the tribological potential of graphene growth from solid waste products on copper substrate via the chemical vapour deposition method. The study focused on graphene growth from fruit cover plastic waste (FCPW) and oil palm fibre (OPF), the graphene structure was examined using Raman spectroscopy. Then, the tribological testing was performed using a ball-on-disc tribometer, and the hardness was performed using a nano-indenter on both the worn and unworn surfaces. The results show that graphene was successfully grown from both sources. Meanwhile, the tribological study found that both coatings showed a higher coefficient of friction (μ) compared to pure copper. However, the wear rate (k) was contradicted by the μ where the k was found to be 60% to 75% lower than pure copper. Finally, the hardness analysis revealed that the coating was damaged at 100 m sliding as the surface hardness increased.

The use of aqua-ammonia-based power generating system is a promising way to utilise low temperature heat sources originating either from a renewable energy resource or industrial process waste heat up to a temperature of 150°C. A thermally activated combined power and cooling system to produce electricity and refrigeration effect simultaneously has been modelled and analysed. The proposed system is a Kalina cycle-based power generating system that utilises aqua-ammonia as working fluid. Refrigeration effect is produced by the working fluid from the turbine exit. The combined system produces mechanical power and as well as cooling effect simultaneously. A simulation study has been conducted to analyse the performance of the proposed system and to develop the optimum operating parameters. Result shows thermal efficiency of 18.20% operating with the source fluid temperature at 135°C. This research work provides a new approach to produce cooling effect from low temperature heat sources.

This study aims to analyse the influence of tilt angle on energy yields and performance ratio of photovoltaic (PV) systems with three PV technologies over the selected cities in Southeast Asia. 10 kWp grid connected PV generator is proposed with net-metering option in Jakarta, Jayapura, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Bangkok. Simulation is carried for three different PV technologies positioned at tilt angle (0° to 90° with 15° step variations). It is observed that, PV generators performance in Southeast Asia is in order of Si-amorph, Si-mono and Si-poly. Energy yield is moderate in PV generators at 0° (horizontal) and at zenith, i.e., 90° the output is little. PV generators positioned at 15° tilt angle in Jakarta, Jayapura, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok shows better energy yields and performance ratio (PR). In similar, PV generator positioned at close to 0° tilt at Kuala Lumpur and Singapore City shows better energy yields and PR.
