The building and construction sector is one of the main sectors contributing to carbon emissions around the globe. Current emission reduction initiatives in the building and construction industry have largely lowered the share of operational carbon (OC) emissions in the project’s life cycle emissions. Achieving embodied carbon (EC) emission reductions is essential for decarbonising the sector. This study adopts a comprehensive...

Near real-time monitoring of faecal indicator bacteria (FIB) in waters is currently not feasible, and current monitoring methods require field sampling and laboratory testing that inhibits decision-making within a relevant timeframe. While recent studies identified the potential of using specific fluorescence regions for FIB monitoring, sufficient accuracy often requires site-specific calibration due to minor variations in flu...
