“…The general public and decision-makers are becoming more conscious of the need to maintain the natural environment as a result of the hazards they pose. It is in reaction to concerns brought up at international summits that urban planning and design be addressed as a method that respects the environment (Cuker et al, 2019). The development of "solar" and "bioclimatic" architecture makes it possible to incorporate this reflection into both theory and routine-built environment creation.…”

Energy plays a vital role in any country`s economic development. As such proper and adequate supply of energy is fundamental for environmental, social, and economic development. Renewable energy has ticked all the boxes to be considered the best energy source because it is environmentally friendly. Renewable energy is considered a clean source of energy because it generates limited secondary pollutants from burning fossil fuels. Conventional fossil fuels, which are a limited resource, provide a significant share of the main energy demand, but renewable energy development represents a significant step towards social, economic, and environmental growth. Due to the ever-increase demand for energy as a result of over growing human population which cannot be modified by the current shape of the earth due to how fast the world is becoming a virtual community. The requirement for energy and related services to meet human growth can be seen in welfare, social, health, and economic development. The need for renewable energy sources to combat climate change and protect our environment is a great strategy that needs to be sustainable to satisfy future generations’ energy needs. This paper describes the development opportunities related to renewable energy sources and their sustainability, environmental safety, social, and energy security, economic strength, and expanding access to affordable, safe, and cheaper energy. This helps provide a foundation for addressing the demand for sustainable development.

“…Light produces photon (small packets of energy) which are transmitted in the form of electromagnetic radiations as waves as they burn especially from the light emitting diode (LED) bulbs used in the experiments. When these waves hit the surface of an organism, some portion of the radiation is absorbed by the body of the organisms thus converting short wave radiation into long wave radiations that is felt by the organism as heat (Cuker et al 2019) [5] . The latter is needed for body metabolism to activate and support enzymatic and hormonal activities and to aid the formation of important body cells, organs, and other body structures.…”

American cockroach is a reliable source of protein as an animal feed but remains unexploited. Little is known on the right combination of environmental factors for their mass production under artificial conditions. This study assessed the effect of photoperiod and feed as key factors in cockroach rearing on their growth and reproductive performance. Factorial experiment with two factors: photoperiod at four levels; 3L:21D, 6L:18D, 12L:12D, and 18L:6D, and feed at two levels (Chick mash, and chick mash + carrot) was designed. The experiment was laid in a split-plot design with photoperiod as the main plot factor and feed as the sub-plot factor. Measurements were taken on a weekly basis for growth parameters (body mass, body length and cephalic length), and reproductive parameters (length of the ootheca, number of eggs per ootheca and weight of the ootheca) throughout the feeding period. Photoperiod significantly affected the body mass (p<0.000) and cephalic length (p=0.006) of the cockroaches but insignificantly affected their reproductive parameters. Feed type did not have significant effect on both the growth and reproductive performance of the cockroaches. However, photoperiod and feed interaction had significant positive effect on the growth parameters of the cockroaches but insignificantly affected the reproductive parameters. The best photoperiod and feed combination for maximum growth of the cockroaches was 3L:21D and chick mash. More similar studies targeting other environmental conditions are needed to establish complete set of suitable conditions for mass rearing of cockroaches.
