The SURVISMETER – a Green Technology in Service

Singh M., Bhanumati S., Shukla A., Shukla S.S., Shukla A., Shukla S.S., University of Delhi, IN

Viscosity is a measure of stickiness and the reverse is fluidity. It is a valuable data for all liquids in the oil, lubricant, paint, polish, food, beverage, cosmetic, biosolvents, drugs and pharma, polymer, nanomaterials, and [...]

Synthesis of thermal interface material with high thermal conductivity for high efficacy of LED

Han C.J., Han J.-I., Yu S.H., Hong S-J, Kim Y-S, Han C.J., Han J.-I., Korean Electronics Technology Institute, KR

Thermal dissipation problem for LED is critical for high efficacy and reliability. Inorganic filled grease type thermal interface material (TIM) has widespread use for heat management of LED. Conventional TIM materials, however, has relative low [...]

Use of different natural Extracts from Tropical plants as Green Inhibitors for Metals

Bogaerts W., Vuthi T., Phong P.H., Hanh P.H., Linh D.C., Addul R., University of Leuven, BE

The authors present an overview of the work & results obtained in the framework of a bilateral cooperation program between Belgium and Vietnam to discover new environmentally-friendly corrosion inhibitors or ‘harmless corrosion inhibitors to nature” [...]

Degradation of Phenol in Waste Water Using Alcohol-Free Enzyme Encapsulated Silica Aerogel

Sani S., Lee S.L., Mohd Muhid M.N., Hamdan H., Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, MY

Encapsulation of enzyme tyrosinase into nano-porous silica aerogel via an alcohol-free colloidal sol-gel route using rice husk ash (RHA) as silica source was studied. Tyrosinase encapsulated silica aerogel (TESA) was synthesized with and without solvent [...]

Water Conservation in Cooling Towers Using Controlled Hydrodynamic Cavitation

Vella P., VRTX Technologies, US

Cooling towers are a component of some buildings’ cooling systems. Where installed, cooling towers can account for up to 30% of the total water used in an average building, a statistic that can be even [...]

Clean Building Technologies in Architecture

Attmann O., University of Colorado at Denver, US

This paper presents an overview of clean building technologies, their use in architecture, and introduces an ongoing research project about the development of a green-wall system incorporating these technologies. In our research project, we introduce [...]

Optimizing HVAC Energy Efficiency Performance by Innovative Technologies

Xin D., Bes-Tech, US

The presentation will examine all aspects of continuous commissioning and TPOR technologies for mainly existing buildings, including: history, process, typical costs and savings, and cases studies as well as measurement and verification. The presentation will [...]

New Insulation Technology for the 21st Century

Morgan S., Smith R., Cormier R., Proactive Technology, US

Back in 1945, Everett Shuman promoted R-value as a standardized way to measure a material’s resistance to heat transfer. But R-values can only be achieved in laboratory conditions where there is no wind, no moisture [...]

Waste Heat Recovery Power Generation with WOWGen®

Romero M., WOW Energies, US

WOW Energy has developed two unique technologies: WOWGen® and WOWClean® as part of its commitment to meeting the world’s energy and environmental challenges WOWGen® is our patented process for generating power from waste heat sources. [...]

Influence of pigments on the photoactivity of TiO2-containing colored mortars compared with white mortars and sol-gel TiO2 application route

Diamanti M.V., Del Curto B., Ormellese M., Pedeferri MP., Politecnico di Milano, IT

In previous works, TiO2-containing commercial mortars were proved to show photoactivated properties due to the well-known semiconducting structure of titanium dioxide in anatase form. Anatase was added to white mortars in form of suspension or [...]
