This paper calculates the energy and environmental performance of a project with solar hot water system using solar hot water system with vacuum tube materials. The results show that solar hot water application in buildings not only saves energy consumption but also reduces carbon emissions, and the dynamic payback period is about 12 years. Thus solar hot water system should be widely used in buildings in China.

We examine the association between carbon emissions, carbon disclosures, and firm value for Korean firms, with a particular interest in chaebols, a special type of Korean conglomerate. Using hand-collected carbon emissions and firm-specific data for 841 Korean firms, including 514 chaebols and 335 non-chaebols, we find a significantly positive relationship between carbon emissions and firm value among chaebol affiliates. This result contrasts with previous findings conducted in advanced markets, where investors consider carbon emissions to be destructive. In terms of the voluntary disclosure policy, we find that companies with good environmental performance tend to disclose carbon emissions voluntarily. We further argue that these findings originate from the specific business atmosphere in Korea. Our results support the traditional view of corporations in terms of environmental policy and highlight the importance of firm characteristics and historical developments in the analysis of environmental policy.

Urban Planning And Design

The lack of mobility choices in many Swedish neighbourhoods and cities designed for automobiles hinders the possibilities to shift towards more sustainable travel alternatives. Urban designers and planners can help with redesigning these neighbourhoods and creating urban forms that encourage walking, cycling and increased use of public transportation if they are informed about the environmental performance and carbon implications of transportation systems in existing and newly planned neighbourhoods. This paper proposes a mobility choices model based on urban form and accessibility factors commonly used in urban planning and design practices. The mobility choices model produces heat maps and visually informs about the integration with walking, cycling, public transportation and private car, modal shares, carbon emissions and transportation energy use. This information can (potentially) trigger urban transformation or redesign to better integrate sustainable travel alternatives in these neighbourhoods and contribute to more sustainable cities. Many houses can have an excellent environmental performance as buildings but they can be located at a distance where it is impossible to walk, cycle or use public transportation. The benefits of energy efficient and carbon neutral home then disappears with extensive travel and commuting by automobile.
