Strategic Modeling of Hybrid Smart Micro Energy Communities
Hybrid renewable energy systems are increasingly important for enabling sustainable and resilient energy supply in rural smart communities, yet existing tools often lack the ability to integrate environmental variability, multi-technology interactions, and economic–environmental assessment in a unified framework. This study presents Hybrid Smart Micro Energy Community (HySMEC), a novel modeling approach that combines high-resolution meteorologica…
Responding to the UN sustainability goals in transdisciplinary partnership through network action learning
The global water crisis, an enormous concern according to the World Economic Forum, poses a significant challenge to long-term sustainability, exacerbated by the high energy demand associated with water supply and treatment. As the renewable energy sector grows, the need for green technologies to support the water-energy nexus becomes evident. However, mere technological advancements are insufficient to address complex water-related challenges. T…
The co-development of HedgeDate, a public engagement and decision support tool for air pollution exposure mitigation by green infrastructure
There is a lack of clear guidance regarding the optimal configuration and plant composition of green infrastructure (GI) for improved air quality at local scale. This study aimed to co-develop (i.e. with feedback from end-users) a public engagement and decision support tool, to facilitate effective GI design and management for air pollution abatement. The underlying model uses user-directed input data (e.g. road type) to generate output recommend…
The potential impacts of different traffic management strategies on air pollution and public health for a more sustainable city
The nexus between air pollution, green infrastructure and human health
Cities are constantly evolving and so are the living conditions within and between them. Rapid urbanization and the ever-growing need for housing have turned large areas of many cities into concrete landscapes that lack greenery. Green infrastructure can support human health, provide socio-economic and environmental benefits, and bring color to an otherwise grey urban landscape. Sometimes, benefits come with downsides in relation to its impact on…
Assessing the Impact of Vehicle Speed Limits and Fleet Composition on Air Quality Near a School
Traffic is a major source of urban air pollution that affects health, especially among children. As lower speed limits are commonly applied near schools in many cities, and different governments have different policies on vehicle fleet composition, this research estimated how different speed limits and fleet emissions affect air quality near a primary school. Based on data of traffic, weather, and background air quality records in Dublin from 201…
Air pollution abatement performances of green infrastructure in open road and built-up street canyon environments – A review
Intensifying the proportion of urban green infrastructure has been considered as one of the remedies for air pollution levels in cities, yet the impact of numerous vegetation types deployed in different built environments has to be fully synthesised and quantified. This review examined published literature on neighbourhood air quality modifications by green interventions. Studies were evaluated that discussed personal exposure to local sources of…
