The aim of this study is to develop a strategy for predicting the highest quality areas, in terms of their non-exposure to industrial air emissions. This is achieved through listing the built-up areas next to the industrial zones concerned. Illustrating the parameters of air pollution emissions from industrial activities in the region by the air modeling technique, and integrating data and information obtained using geographical signature programs in order to obtain an informational map that can be used in analyzing the data for the future planning of housing in close proximity to industrial areas. This study was conducted on an area of 49 km 2 , Abu Qir Bay, east ofp the city of Alexandria, Egypt. The study showed that the safe areas of exposure to nitrogen oxides represent 8% of the study sample area (49 km 2). 3.5% represents the largest safe area located in the northwest of the industrial zone, 1.6% of the safe areas is located in the southern industrial zone towards the prevailing wind, and, finally, the ratio of built-up areas facing industrial emissions was revealed at 2.5% of the entire study area in the southern industrial zone. It is concluded that, by using the simulated gaseous emissions of industrial facilities and integrating it with geo-analytical maps of the built-up satellite-explored areas, a strategy for predicting the safe areas could be applied. The study recommends that residential urban planning decisions in industrial zones should be obtained through periodically monitoring the emissions. The researcher recommends the use of the results of this study as a guide, using (RS) satellites to detect and map built-up areas near industrial facilities, air-modelling techniques to predict the hazardous zones of the industry, and (GIS) to layer the information digitally, in order to take precise future urban planning decisions.

The Energy Service Directive (ESD) has pushed forward the issue of energy savings calculations without clarifying the methodological basis. Savings achieved in the Member States are calculated with rather non-transparent and hardly comparable Bottom-up (BU) methods. This paper develops the idea of parallel evaluation tracks separating the Member States’ issue of ESD verification and comparable savings calculations. Comparability is ensured by developing a standardised BU calculation kernel for different energy efficiency improvement (EEI) actions which simultaneously depicts the different calculation options in a structured way (e.g. baseline definition, system boundaries, double counting). Due to the heterogeneity of BU calculations the approach requires a central database where Member States feed in input data on BU actions according to a predefined structure. The paper demonstrates the proposed approach including a concrete example of application

“…Most of the research published in the literature tends to treat the components of the steam system as separate entities, rather than analyzing, synthesizing and optimizing the entire system in a holistic way. The work [8] deals with an analysis of a set of energy-saving opportunities in industrial boiler plants, such as the flue gas temperature reduction, optimisation of excess air by the implementation of an oxygen trim system, application of variable speed drive for fans, etc., including the implications regarding the emission reduction. The paper [9] presents a technique for the process integration of steam systems by the use of conceptual and mathematical analysis while maintaining boiler efficiency.…”

Improvement of the energy conversion processes efficiency helps to achieve a more reliable energy supply, a cleaner environment, more competitive businesses, and higher living standard. Industry data indicate significant potential for improving the efficiency of steam systems and minimizing their operating costs by implementing various measures. The present work is a result of a systematic approach for energy performance analysis and identification of opportunities for optimizing the steam-condensate system of the combined heat and power plant ESM Energetika, Skopje, R. N. Macedonia. The boiler plants provide superheated steam used in a hot-water station for the district heating system, for electricity generation, and as process steam for industrial customers. As the main operating costs of the plant stem from the natural gas consumption, the implementation of a set of energy efficiency measures will lead to its reduction, accompanied by less environmental impact. As a result of the system analysis, a number of energy efficiency measures have been identified. For each measure, the impact on individual parts of the system, as well as on the system as a whole, is evaluated using the Steam System Modeler Tool. This paper elaborates some of the identified measures that are considered more reliable from an operational and financial aspect, mainly focused on steam production for the district heating system. Based on a conservative approach, significant potential for savings of natural gas, electrical energy, and treated water is estimated, which will lead to annual financial savings of about 245000 Euro.
