“…A sort of positive feedback that should be communicated to policymakers is the quantitative results that have been achieved through water conservation programs. The implementation of water-saving facilities and the implementation of water-saving designs should, in theory, be beneficial to buildings in terms of the efficiency with which they use water [22], [23]. However, actual water usage in the real world is complicated since it is influenced by a wide variety of human behaviors in addition to other factors [24].…”

The evaluation of green building is very important to obtain a sustainable building that meets the requirements of agreed-upon evaluation systems and classification of building to accredited, silver, gold, or platinum. As we know, sustainable construction plays a major role in providing for current needs and securing the needs of future generations. This study aims to increase the number of evaluation points for the green building indicators during the design phase through some quantitative indicators to support the evaluation process and to increase the building evaluation points. In our results we have achieved about 13.552536 evaluation points out of a total of 15.17305 evaluation points, for five indicators, which are the cooling load index, the energy efficiency index, the water consumption index, the building transparency index, and the percentage of green coverage. These results will support the evaluation team in improving the classification of buildings, obtaining the approved building, and enhancing the accredited certificate according to the required specifications.

Abstract-To solve the topology structure of a greenhouse environment-monitoring system and the ductility of joints, this study presents a design of a greenhouse-monitoring system based on the ZigBee wireless sensor network (WSN). The hardware and software designs of the network node are provided, and the process of the ZigBee network coordinator is elucidated. The system uses the microcontroller unit PIC18F4620CC2420 wireless transceiver module to send and receive data. Data from temperature and humidity sensors are collected using an inter-integrated circuit bus through the ZigBee network transmission to the monitoring platform. Test results show that the system has the advantages of having a simple structure, flexible nodes, and low power consumption. It can effectively monitor the temperature and humidity in a wireless environment. WSNs considerably help in greenhouse environment monitoring. The use of advanced technology to control greenhouse temperature and humidity can satisfy the optimum growth environment of greenhouse crops and effectively improve the yield and quality of crops. The application of WSNs in greenhouse monitoring is significant to the development of modern and precision agriculture in China.
