“…Mambo and colleagues [41] observed that the dynamic regulation of the internal environment, depending on flight schedules, could improve efficiency by up to 25%. Studies [41][42][43][44] highlighted the possibility of dynamically managing thermal comfort and lighting in different parts of the terminals. It must be strongly emphasized that only a few works in the literature discuss the energy intensity of terminal operations, and only three [45][46][47] directly correlate with the analysis of energy intensity through operational systems.…”

In the era of shrinking resources of traditional fossil fuels and the increasingly dominant sustainable development policy, actions are taken to reduce energy consumption as much as possible, assuming that we achieve identical operational goals. These activities are apparent in the industries with the most significant energy demand, i.e., the aviation industry. To achieve this, these industries implement modern technologies in all possible areas of operation. One of these areas is the area of operator training, especially the most energy-consuming devices and types of equipment. This article investigated the potential of virtual reality (VR) technology for energy optimization of forklift operating training in airport cargo terminals. The authors propose a method whose practical implementation in one of the cargo terminals reduced energy consumption by several times while training forklift operators. The added value is that the method is universal and, after appropriate modification, can be used to train operators of other devices. The study compared traditional training methods with a VR-based training approach, assessing their impact on energy consumption and overall efficiency of forklift operations in airport cargo terminals. The results prove that VR technology training can significantly reduce energy consumption while improving operational efficiency and can offer a sustainable and effective training solution for the entire logistics sector.

“…Mambo et al [18] observed that the dynamic regulation of the internal environment by the flight schedule could bring improvements of up to 25%. Works [19][20][21] similarly recognized the possibility of dynamic thermal comfort and lighting management in various terminal spaces. In the literature, only a single paper refers to the energy consumption of terminal operations, and only two [3,4] directly correlate with the analysis of energy consumption by operating systems.…”

The article focuses on the study of the impact of the level of training of security control operators (SCOs) at airports on the energy consumption of the passenger baggage control process. With the constant growing emphasis on security at airports, the intensification of training processes for security personnel, especially those dealing with baggage control, has become very dynamic. An essential aspect in times of sustainable development is optimizing all kinds of processes (including training processes) to reduce energy consumption. The analysis of the demand for energy used to conduct this type of training and the impact of the operator’s training level on the energy consumption of the control process are entirely ignored and have not been the subject of research by scientists so far. Therefore, this is a research gap that the authors are trying to fill in this article. The impact of safety system operator training levels on ensuring optimal energy efficiency was critically analyzed. The added value of the article is the authors’ model assessing the influence of the level of training of the SCO on the energy consumption of the control process. The effects of the frequency, duration and level of operator training on energy consumption rates were investigated. The authors’ activities aimed to identify the most energy-efficient approaches to training without compromising its quality and, thus, the safety of passengers. The article discusses potential strategies for minimizing energy use and draws conclusions that can help airport administrations and training providers adopt sustainable and energy-efficient training practices.

“…Awareness is also responsible for the integration of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies into government policy or sustainable development goals [26][27]. Sustainability in buildings means designing a building to withstand the effects of climate change and to ensure low energy consumption, indoor comfort [28-29], adequate ventilation and reduction of carbon emissions [30][31][32]. In addition, sustainability in this context can be described as mitigation strategies against greenhouse gas emissions [33], reduction of the effect of thermal radiation on buildings [34-36], as well as a reduction in the cost of buildings using cheaper and environmentally friendly building materials [37][38].…”

 Abstract: In recent times, the need for concrete steps to be taken in the adaptation and mitigation of the effects of climate change has taken the centre stage in development discourse. However, there is a scarcity of empirical studies on the extent to which built environment professionals, especially in a developing country like Nigeria are aware of the various climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. This study examined the level of awareness of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies amongst built environment professionals in Lagos, Nigeria. The data were sourced through a cross-sectional survey of 71 respondents including, architects, builders, town planners, estate managers and quantity surveyors in the study area using an online questionnaire. The data were subjected to descriptive statistics and the result shows that the built environment professionals identified the main causes of climate change to include the use of fossil fuels in industrial production, automobiles, and generation of electricity. Also, the major effects of climate change were flooding and excessive heat, while the top three adaptation and mitigation strategies greening/planting trees, enforcement of building guidelines and the use of energy-efficient technologies.This study implies that the built environment professionals are very much aware of the existing climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies but there is an urgent need to internalize them in the production and management of the environment in Nigeria.
