As the volume of data available from sensor-enabled devices such as vehicles expands, it is increasingly hard for companies to make informed decisions about the cost of capturing, processing, and storing the data from every device. Business…
Mobile networks are becoming energy hungry, and this trend is expected to continue due to a surge in communication and computation demand. Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), will entail energy-consuming services and applications, with…
United Nations set Sustainable Development Goals and this paper focuses on 7th (Affordable and Clean Energy), 9th (Industries, Innovation and Infrastructure), and 13th (Climate Action) goals. Climate change is a major concern in our…
Accurate short-term energy consumption forecasting for commercial buildings is crucial for smart grid operations. While smart meters and deep learning models enable forecasting using past data from multiple buildings, data heterogeneity…
Urban climate resilience requires more than high-resolution data; it demands systems that embed data collection, interpretation, and action within the daily lives of citizens. This chapter presents a scalable, citizen-centric framework that…
Cities are continuously evolving human settlements. Our cities are under strain in an increasingly urbanized world, and planners, decision-makers, and communities must be ready to adapt. Data is an important resource for municipal…
Numerous codes are being developed to solve Shallow Water equations. Because there are used in hydraulic and environmental studies, their capability to simulate properly flow dynamics is critical to guarantee infrastructure and human…
Weather and soil conditions are particularly important when it comes to farming activities. Study of these factors and their role in nutrient and nitrate absorption rates can lead to useful insights with benefits for both the crop yield and…
The demand for research supporting the development of new policy frameworks for energy saving and conservation has never been more critical. As climate change accelerates and its impacts become increasingly severe, the need for sustainable…
Improving datacenter operations is vital for the digital society. We posit that doing so requires our community to shift, from operational aspects taken in isolation to holistic analysis of datacenter resources, energy, and workloads. In…
Thermoelectric power production at risk, owing to current and projected water scarcity and rising stream temperatures, is assessed for the contiguous United States at decadal scales. Regional water scarcity is driven by climate variability…
Social infrastructure plays a critical role in shaping neighborhood well-being by fostering social and cultural interaction, enabling service provision, and encouraging exposure to diverse environments. Despite the growing knowledge of its…
Marine in-situ data is collected by sensors mounted on fixed or mobile systems deployed into the ocean. This type of data is crucial both for the ocean industries and public authorities, e.g., for monitoring and forecasting the state of…
IT power usage is a significant concern. Data center energy consumption is estimated to account for 1% to 1.5% of all energy consumption worldwide. Hardware designers, data center designers, and other members of the IT community have been…
Data centers have significant energy needs, both embodied and operational, affecting sustainability adversely. The current techniques and tools for collecting, aggregating, and reporting verifiable sustainability data are vulnerable to…
Carbon footprint quantification is key to well-informed decision making over carbon reduction potential, both for individuals and for companies. Many carbon footprint case studies for products and services have been circulated recently. Due…
Internet of Things (IoT) is leading to the pervasive availability of streaming data about the physical world, coupled with edge computing infrastructure deployed as part of smart cities and 5G rollout. These constrained, less reliable but…
The objective of the GreenPAD project is to use green energy (wind, solar and biomass) for powering data-centers that are used to run HPC jobs. As a part of this it is important to predict the Renewable (Wind) energy for efficient…
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are excellent candidates for water harvesting due to their tunable pore environments, which can be precisely engineered to capture and release water in arid conditions. Integrating artificial intelligence…
Datacenters are vital to our digital society, but consume a considerable fraction of global electricity and demand is projected to increase. To improve their sustainability and performance, we envision that simulators will become primary…
