Looking to reduce climate change impact and particle emissions, the heavy-duty transport sector is moving towards a growth within technology and infrastructure for use of liquefied natural gas (LNG). This opens an opportunity for the biogas market to grow as well, especially in the form of liquefied biomethane (LBM). However, there is a need to inv...
Different options for treating organic fraction of municipal solid waste were assessed. Four composting scenarios were designed based on different scales (i.e. home vs centralised) and technologies (i.e. windrow vs in-vessel composting) in Brisbane. The environmental and economic performance were analysed and compared to the existing practice: land...

Life cycle cost(LCC) is an important content of equipment integrated logistics support. While the LCC includes the whole life cycle of equipment from development, production, service and maintenance to retirement, in order to effectively manage and control the LCC and better develop integrated logistics support, it is necessary to analyze and predi...
Diplomová práce se zaměřuje na problematiku mostního stavitelství v závislosti na nákladech na životní cyklus. V teoretické části je nejprve popsána historie, názvosloví a životní cyklus mostních objektů. Dále se teoretická část zaměřuje na nástroje, kterými se dají stanovit náklady jednotlivých fází životního cyklu. V praktické části jsou popsány ...
Building renovation is urgently required to decrease the energy consumption of the existing building stock and reduce greenhouse gas emissions coming from the building sector. Selecting an appropriate renovation strategy is challenging due to the long building service life and consequent uncertainties. In this paper, we propose a new framework for ...
This thesis ‘A decision support model for analysing the reuse potential of hollow-core slab floor components’ describes the development of a decision support model to investigate the reuse potential of a structural building component. For this research, the hollow-core slab floor component is chosen as the structural building component to be reused...

With the rapid development of construction industry, consumption of concrete block has increased rapidly in China. As a kind of green building material and resource comprehensive utilization product, autoclaved aerated fly ash and concrete block have better performance in terms of heat preservation, sound insulation, and fire resistance. However, s...

With increasing application of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), it is important to develop a reliability model and maintenance plan strategies for FDM machines. This paper studies the impact of machine component degradations and process parameter deviations on the FDM system reliability. The contribution of this paper is to integrate both FDM machi...
Hydrogen can compensate for the intermittent nature of some renewable energy sources and encompass the options of supplying renewables to offset the use of fossil fuels. The integrating of hydrogen application into the energy system will change the current energy market. Therefore, this paper deploys the life cycle cost analysis of hydrogen product...
