Marketing Services for Future LEED Products
Published in Jerry Yudelson, Marketing Green Buildings:, 2020
There are currently about 1.8 to 2.1 million new privately-owned housing units built annually in the U.S.98, with about 1.5 million of those representing single-family detached units, so the market for new LEED registrations is large, assuming LEED could eventually capture 25% of the housing market, its stated goal for all market segments. Even 2.5% of this market (the current approximate level of penetration for LEED-NC) would represent 45,000 to 50,000 new homes certified annually, or about 100 million square feet (given the average size of a new single-family home at 2,000 to 2,500 sq. ft.). The multi-family residential market may turn out to be a greater adopter of the current LEED version 2.x standard, because condominium and apartment developers in many parts of the country are looking for the market edge that LEED can create. They also fit reasonably well with the current LEED-NC standard (which can be applied to residential projects above three stories) and don’t have to wait for LEED-H to be developed.

As a result, Intel claims that its hyper-scaling technology – in this case, the self-aligned quad patterning – allows for a transistor density of 100 million transistors per square millimeter. Hyper scaling in 10 nm technology offers improvements (a reduction) in the pitch among transistor fins, the pitch among metal conductors, cell height and transistor gate pitch, and it reduces the requirement for a double dummy gate to a single dummy gate, which further increases area scaling. From Intel’s Technology and Manufacturing Day 2017 brochure, the reductions are specified asFin pitch reduction from 42 to 34 nm, a 19% reduction in size,Minimum metal layer pitch reduction from 52 to 36 nm, a 31% reductionCell height reduced from 399 to 272 nm, a 32% reduction in heightTransistor gate pitch reduced from 70 to 54 nm, a 22% reduction.
Geothermal renewable energy growth management
Published in Henry K. H. Wang, Renewable Energy Management in Emerging Economies, 2020
In China, the development of geothermal capacities for heating has been growing. Experts have estimated that the direct use of geothermal energy has covered slightly more than 100 million square metres (m2) of heated space in China. The central government in China has announced plans for significant increases in geothermal renewable heating developments. It expects that the sustainable use of geothermal renewable resources should help to reduce air pollution whilst also protecting water resources in various cities in China. Under the China 13th Five-Year Plan (FYP), China has planned to increase the direct use of geothermal heat by another 400 million m2 by 2020 (PRC, 13th FYP, 2016).
Sustainable efficiency and CO2 reduction potential of China’s construction industry: application of a three-stage virtual frontier SBM-DEA model

Desirable output indicators: the paper selects Total Profit (100 million yuan), Floor Space of Buildings Completed (10,000 square meters), Certified green building area (10,000 sq.m) as the desirable output. The main form of economic income of enterprises is total profit, and the floor space of buildings completed in the construction industry is taken as a measure of the physical output. In order to better measure the sustainable development of the construction industry, we innovatively chose the certified green building area as the output index to measure the sustainable development of the construction industry. Green buildings not only save energy and reduce emissions but also are more suitable for human habitation.
Grey clustering evaluation of service capacity of cruise homeports in China
Published in Maritime Policy & Management, 2021
Basic infrastructure construction is the foundation to support an increasing number of tourists and passengers. A cruise homeport with a large passenger transport center can more efficiently serve passengers. Thus, the infrastructure index (Y1) consists of three second-grade indices: the construction area of the passenger transport center (10,000 square meters) (X1), the construction investment (100 million yuan) (X2), and the annual reception capacity (10,000 person-times) (X3).
