There are often no windows and lack of natural light in the most of underground space, so lighting design is the most basic for most underground architectural design. Natural lighting is not only for comfortable indoor energy-saving and healthy light environment, but also for the good indoor environment. We need to use natural light and artificial lighting conduction system to offset the lack of natural light and improve the effect of underground space of natural light.

Purpose Green supply chain management and new product innovation and diffusion have become quite popular and act as a rich source of providing competitive advantage for companies to trade without further deteriorating environmental quality. However, research on low-carbon footprint supply chain configuration for a new product represents a comparably new trend and needs to be explored further. Using relatively simple models, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how carbon emissions concerns, such as carbon emission caps and carbon tax scheme, could be integrated into an operational decision, such as product procurement, production, storage and transportation concerning new fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) product introduction. Design/methodology/approach The situation titled “low-carbon footprint supply chain configuration problems” is mathematically formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem under the dynamic and stochastic phenomenon concerning receiver’s demand requirements and production plant capacity constraints. Further, the effects of demand and capacities’ uncertainties are modeled using the chance constraint approach proposed by Charnes and Cooper (1959, 1963). Findings Various cases have been validated using the case example of a new FMCG product manufacturer. To validate the proposed models, data are generated randomly and solved using optimization software LINGO 10.0. Originality/value The attempt is novel in the context of considering the dynamic and stochastic phenomenon with respect to demand center’s requirements and manufacturing plant’s capacity constraints with regard to the low-carbon footprints supply chain configuration of a new FMCG product.

Carbon literacy is a key medium to enhance the understanding of an individual's consciousness on reducing carbon emissions in the atmosphere towards addressing the issue of global warming and climate change. This article aims to identify the level of carbon literacy among lower secondary schools students in Malaysia. The study involved 463 Form 2 students from eleven schools in the Federal Territory of Putrajaya. The schools were selected using a systematic sampling and respondents were selected using a simple random sampling. Questionnaire Likert scale of 1 to 5 were used as a research instrument. Carbon literacy variable studies include four variables, namely the carbon footprint knowledge, low carbon attitudes, carbon literate value and low carbon practices. Carbon footprint knowledge variables consist of six sub variables: energy saving, recycling, mode of travel, carbon footprint, air pollution and the greenhouse effect. As for the variables of carbon literacy attitude, sub variables consist of energy saving, recycling and mode of travel followed by sub variables of carbon literacy value of the individual and the society. And for the practice of low-carbon, it consists of sub variables, namely energy saving, recycling and mode of travel. Result showed that the questionnaire reliability obtained with Cronbach alpha values for each variable was greater than 0.7. Meanwhile, the level of knowledge of the carbon footprint, low-carbon attitudes, values and practices of low-carbon literacy carbon is at a high level as a whole except for the variable sub knowledge that air pollution is moderate. These findings demonstrated that carbon literacy level of students at the high level and the situation are clear implications of a positive target inapplicable in Federal Territory of Putrajaya towards a Low Carbon City and Green City in 2025.

There is a great interest in building information modeling (BIM) and energy saving worldwide. In reality, however, insufficient studies have been conducted on the development of design methods to perform energy performance analysis. Thus, there is a problem that it is difficult to objectively obtain reliability in energy performance assessment of architectural designs such as scale and size of buildings. In addition, the energy performance analysis is considered as a different field from eco-friendly design methods, and there is another problem that low-carbon design methods more dependent on thermal insulation performance and heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system than on original design methods are mainly developed. In order to solve this problem, this study aims to develop design methods capable of considering energy performance from the early design stage. Designers are required to intuitively understand the results through energy performance analysis using BIM tools and to reflect them in design. To this end, this study analyzed the correlation with energy performance using only basic architectural design elements with mass buildings. This has the advantage of establishing more free mass design mass design considering energy performance even if design and main structure are yet to be determined.
