This study examined managing school plant planning for climate change in the attainment of sustainable educational development for public secondary schools in Rivers State. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The descriptive design was adopted. The population of the study comprised all the 542 public junior and senior secondary schools in Rivers State. A sample of 304 principals representing 56% of the population served as the study respondents. This sample was...

This research explores climate change adaptation practices, strategies and policies implemented internationally that could be adopted to support the sustainable development of cities and towns across Australia. Adaptation strategies focus on reducing the impact of climate change effects while promoting sustainable development.Adaptation is framed as a shared responsibility between governments at all levels, businesses, communities and individuals. Within this overarching framework, each...

Churches can serve as platforms for environmental education, fostering a sense of responsibility towards the environment among their congregations.This study examined the influence of religious affiliation and attendance on climate change awareness, perception, action and perceived role of the church through environmental education in Nigeria. Churchgoers from Catholic, Anglican, and Pentecostal churches from the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria completed the Climate Change Awareness...

Thermal comfort prediction is vital in achieving a good indoor environment and efficient energy management. However, thermal comfort is strongly nonlinear and dynamically changing over time, making it difficult to predict thermal comfort accurately. Two real-time thermal comfort prediction models on multi-time scales are proposed based on deep learning algorithms. The indirect prediction model for thermal comfort integrates the bidirectional long and short-term memory network to predict...

The aim of this study is to present a novel data-driven approach developed for space heating energy demand calculation of the whole EU building stock. To develop a computationally efficient bottom-up model that takes into account building physics parameters and details of the building stock make-up, an artificial neural network (ANN) is trained on a dataset of precise building-physics models. For this purpose, 2025 building energy simulations were performed in this study, ensuring...

With increasing energy consumption, how to achieve the energy-saving operation of air-conditioning systems is crucial for improving the energy efficiency of buildings. The accurate and reliable energy consumption prediction of air-conditioning systems can be useful for optimizing the energy supply and equipment operation strategies. However, most existing studies focus on the prediction of the long-term energy consumption of air-conditioning systems, which usually exceeds the individual...

Measurement of PM2.5 is carried out simultaneously outdoors as well as indoors using a Compact and Useful PM2.5 Instrument (CUPI) from Nov 2018 to Oct 2019. A high-time resolution data (~ 2 min interval) was recorded at Dwarka (West Delhi), New Delhi, to investigate the difference between outdoor and indoor ambient particulate matter. Year-long observations provide an opportunity to decipher that indoor PM2.5 concentration increases significantly from mid-November 2018 to mid-December 2018....

Climate change is the greatest challenge of the 21st century. It is threatening all aspects of societal life. The right to education of children is negatively impacted by these climate-induced challenges. This chapter presents findings of a study on the effects of climate change on the education of the younger generation. The study used a mixed research design method and was done within Kisii Municipality, Kenya. The findings were that climate change and its effects have brought about...

The effects of climate change are a major global concern. In Kenya, the impact of climate change has been felt in perennial droughts which sometimes result into conflict as communities fight for pasture and water. In a bid to address climate change issues, Kenya has developed policies that focus on mitigation and adaptation measures borrowed from ideas outlined in global climate change strategies. One such strategy is the employment of education as a tool to create awareness on climate...
