Abstract: Revised EPBD (EU/2024/1275) has introduced zero energy buildings (ZEB) and foreseen operational carbon and whole life cycle carbon (GWP) as benchmarks supporting setting minimum requirements in future building codes, building renovation plan and a national roadmap for progressive reducing GWP values for decarbonization of buildings by 2050. Starting from 2023 cost-optimal analysis this study proposed the method for assessment of initial ZEB benchmarks (in operational carbon) and emphasised the urgent need for the national database of GWP (operational and embodied carbon emissions).

Abstract: According to the European Green Deal decarbonisation of EU building stock is needed on the way to turning EU into the first climate neutral continent by 2050. Directive (2010/31/EU) EPBD led to significant reduction of operational energy in new buildings and renovation. By energy efficiency first principle and by increasing renewable energy sources it contributed to reduction of primary energy and operational CO2 emissions. But the orientation towards lifecycle thinking and circularity in the building sector revealed the need to tackle the whole-life carbon emissions, where the operational and embodied carbon contribute significantly. In the absence of benchmarks for embodied carbon emissions in this contribution the operational and embodied carbon indicators from recent studies are compared with the available corresponding data in Slovenian energy performance certificates.

Abstract: The Unmanned Systems Research Laboratory (USRL) of the Cyprus Institute is a new mobile exploratory platform of the EU Research Infrastructure Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research InfraStructure (ACTRIS). USRL offers exclusive Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-sensor solutions that can be deployed anywhere in Europe and beyond, e.g., during intensive field campaigns through a transnational access scheme in compliance with the drone regulation set by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for the research, innovation, and training. UAV sensor systems play a growing role in the portfolio of Earth observation systems. They can provide cost-effective, spatial in-situ atmospheric observations which are complementary to stationary observation networks. They also have strong potential for calibrating and validating remote-sensing sensors and retrieval algorithms, mapping close-to-the-ground emission point sources and dispersion plumes, and evaluating the performance of atmospheric models. They can provide unique information relevant to the short- and long-range transport of gas and aerosol pollutants, radiative forcing, cloud properties, emission factors and a variety of atmospheric parameters. Since its establishment in 2015, USRL is participating in major international research projects dedicated to (1) the better understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions, (2) the profiling of aerosol optical properties in different atmospheric environments, (3) the vertical distribution of air pollutants in and above the planetary boundary layer, (4) the validation of Aeolus satellite dust products by utilizing novel UAV-balloon-sensor systems, and (5) the chemical characterization of ship and stack emissions. A comprehensive overview of the new UAV-sensor systems developed by USRL and their field deployments is presented here. This paper aims to illustrate the strong scientific potential of UAV-borne measurements in the atmospheric sciences and the need for their integration in Earth observation networks.

Abstract: Z dobro organizacijsko klimo se povečujeta učinkovitost zaposlenih in uspešnost organizacije. Namen magistrske naloge je bil preveriti zadovoljstvo zaposlenih v izbranem podjetju, z uporabo novo zasnovanega kratkega anketiranja za pogosto preverjanje s hitrim odzivanjem pri težavah, s pomočjo metod Design Thinking in Life Design. V empiričnem delu raziskave smo uporabili kvantitativno znanstvenoraziskovalno metodo. Podatke smo pridobivali s pomočjo dvakratnega anketiranja 32 zaposlenih v srednje velikem izbranem podjetju. Ugotovili smo, da se je vpliv na zasebno življenje in delo-podjetje v preteklih treh mesecih nenehno izboljševal od 30,43 % do 3,13 %. Iz prostodostopnih podatkov smo s podatkovnim rudarjenjem ugotovili tudi stanje v življenjskem okolju, to pa primerjali s stanjem v podjetju ter razbrali matematične soodvisnosti. Zasnovali smo predloge za izboljšanje stanja na področju delovnega in posledično življenjskega okolja ter podali možnosti za nadaljnje raziskovanje. Ugotovitve naše raziskave bodo koristne za menedžerje in strokovne sodelavce, ki se ukvarjajo s proučevanjem organizacijske klime in njenim vitkim razvojem človeških zmožnosti v podjetjih in drugih ustanovah. Uporabljeni pripomoček 'kompas' s hitrim preverjanjem in odzivanjem je koristen za vitki management človeških virov in je prilagodljiv za vsako podjetje. S tem se neposredno spremlja medsebojni vpliv delovnega in življenjskega okolja in omogoča hiter odziv v primeru negativnih kazalnikov. Namenjanje potrebne pozornosti zaposlenim in njihovim najbližjim pa bo izboljšalo uspešnost posameznikov in organizacij.
