Thriving Through Climate Change and Pandemic 2021
In recent decades, the rising energy needs has concluded in much more lubricant usage. Lubricants play a significant part in decreasing the friction and wear among bustling superficies. They are among the greatest drivers of oil need. The ecological affects arising from the direct petroleum-based lubricants’ entry requires the implementation of bio-sourced lubricants as a perfect option to petroleum-derived lubricants. The bio-sourced lubricants’ primary resources are oils derived from plants. There are numerous compatibilities between petroleum-based lubricants and triglycerides from the view point of physical and chemical features. Because of their non-food competition, less expense, and simple usability, vegetable-sourced oils …

Thriving Through Climate Change and Pandemic 2021
This study investigates the influence of the building envelope on the energy usage of a chosen building using the simulation program TRNSYS. The building located at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada is a small building retroffited as part of the Natural Resources Canada’s Prefabricated Exterior Energy Retrofit (PEER) project. The project's aim is to develop prefabricated technologies to be used for retroffiting existing building envelopes of homes in Canada. The thermal resistance (RSI) of the existing walls were improved from 1.80 m2K/W to about 6.40 m2K/W after installation of the prefarbricated retrofit wall system. Analytical verification of the whole building performance …
