This review article provides a thorough examination of the factors affecting energy consumption in India and around the world, focussing on suburban areas and their role in the broader context of building construction and energy efficiency. The study examines the switch from conventional energy sources to more diversified energy portfolios...

This study examines the spatial and temporal variations of key air pollutants in Rajsamand District, Rajasthan, from January 2015 to December 2019, using Sentinel-5P TROPOMI data. The pollutants analysed include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), formaldehyde (HCHO), sulphur dioxide (SO2), methane (CH4), and aerosols. The findings reveal...

The increasing global emphasis on sustainable architecture necessitates precise building energy modeling, especially in regions marked by extreme climates. The focus of this study is to evaluate the potential and practicality of passive housing strategies in climates similar to Dubai. In this study, we employed the Passive House Planning Package...

Can Tho City is located in the middle of the Mekong Delta, where the effects of climate change have been and will continue to be considerable. According to climate change predictions, the city is one of five regions that could be affected. In this study, we conducted analysis of trends of Tmax and Tmin over 39 years using monthly temperature in Can...

Stubble burning in Punjab, India, poses significant environmental challenges, particularly impacting air quality. This study aims to examine the spatial and temporal patterns of stubble burning events and their potential effect on ambient air quality from 2019 to 2022. High-resolution Sentinel-2 satellite imagery was employed to delineate the...

This study evaluates the performance of simulated precipitation and maximum and minimum temperatures in the historical runs of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) for the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD). The precipitation, as well as maximum and minimum temperatures outputs from 16 general circulation models (GCMs), were...

The water balance in six selected crops (mung beans, tomatoes, maize, cassava, yam, and sweet potatoes) was determined at the field block scale in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta for two agricultural growing areas. A novel approach for the calculation of water balance was employed, which combined the reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo), derived...
