Energy conservation provides for the welfare of all forms of life on earth, and the usage of current energy forms such as fossil fuels cause pollution in more than just one way. Energy saving plays an important role in the success of any organization, building or facility. The analysis of which can be achieved through measuring the building and facilities energy performance by undertaking an energy audit. Energy audits have the potential to provide information which can be used to reduce energy
cities and peri-urban areas of social, economic and environmental benefits (Byrne et al., 2010). Urban greening can be synonymously used with the term urban greenspace which refers to a broad variety of green areas within cities, (Roy et al., 2012). These include all types of parks, sporting fields, private backyards and gardens, street trees, spontaneous vegetation, infrastructure easements, cemeteries, green roofs, vacant lots, nature conservation and other spaces that provide opportunities for active
As these pathogens are not only remaining epidemically in nature for several years, but also they are resisting difficult environmental conditions. There are a wide variety and large number of diseases that can contaminate air and are used in biological warfare, fungi are the most well known, Fungi travel by air over long distances to infect healthy plants with diseases such as
damages to Earth’s diversity. Sir Peter Scott was the first person ever to be knighted (in 1973) for contributions to wildlife conservation. I find Sir Peter Scott inspirational because, despite being a very busy man, he was able to integrate all of his passions, such as art, sports, and conservation, into his every day life. He also contributed to a wide-range of conservation efforts and aided in the development of trusts, treaties, and organizations that are vital to
molecular farming. Challenges like biotic and abiotic stresses, gradually reducing crop productivity and environmental safety, demand for newer products have been constantly addressed successfully in terms of phytoneutraceuticals,
Enhanced water resources management and development are of immediate importance, especially for those communities where the inability to control water places food security in jeopardy. It was in view of this that the study seeks to find out sustainable water resource management in the Ghana The objectives are to: 1. Find

Abstract The construction industry is large and diverse, with lot of companies and professional bodies. This makes it thought-provoking to develop a common vision and priorities. Activities in the industry are always term as project and these projects must be procured and managed thus making the concept of procurement and project management inevitable in the construction industry. This paper will begin by briefly introducing the reader to the construction industry and try to find and give appropriate
All of the water on the planet is technically recycled water. In a closed system like Earth, the water coming out of our tap has probably been through the water cycle tens of thousands of times. However, the water sent out by our utilities is always cleaned up to drinking water standards in water treatment plants prior to distribution [17]. This same drinking-quality water is used for many purposes beyond drinking, including lawn and landscape irrigation, toilet-flushing, and industrial processes
Without visual aid, an idea is said “to be lost in a sea of words”. An award-winning scholar at Stanford University, Robert E Horn said “When words and visual elements are closely entwined, we create something new and we augment our communal intelligence. Visual language has the potential for increasing human bandwidth – the capacity to take in, comprehend and more efficiently synthesize large amounts of information.” (Parkinson, M. 2012.) Visual communication allows for the use of visual elements
