Conducted an analysis of the alternative fuel and vehicle options, specifically liquid fuels from biomass and all electric battery-powered vehicles. Objective was to study the feasibility of these technologies in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the transportation sector in Japan over the next several decades. My tasks within this project were to provide recommendations for the utilization of all-electric battery vehicle technologies in accordance with Japan's contribution to emissions… عرض المزيد

Conducted an analysis of the alternative fuel and vehicle options, specifically liquid fuels from biomass and all electric battery-powered vehicles. Objective was to study the feasibility of these technologies in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the transportation sector in Japan over the next several decades. My tasks within this project were to provide recommendations for the utilization of all-electric battery vehicle technologies in accordance with Japan's contribution to emissions reductions agreed to under the UNFCCC Paris Accord. I determined the deployment rates for BEVs in Japan over the years 2025, 2035, and 2045 and the corresponding expected carbon dioxide emissions reductions. عرض أقل

Developed an original building rating system for the city of Mumbai, detailing specific areas of improvement for multi-family residential buildings. Conducted extensive research on the various impact categories considered for sustainable building design. I applied existing global rating systems (such as LEED, Pearl-ESTIDAMA, and BREEAM ), used as references, to contextual data and formed my own structured, Mumbai-specific building rating system.

As a final project for an MBA course on sustainable operations, this project studied the feasibility of employing battery technologies in the near future for supplying electric power. I conducted an analysis of the functionality of the most commonly used batteries in industry and their economic impact. By studying the various market applications for battery technologies and using life cycle assessment tools, I deduced that integration of storage with renewable energy sources is making a slow… عرض المزيد

I conducted an analysis of the functionality of the most commonly used batteries in industry and their economic impact. By studying the various market applications for battery technologies and using life cycle assessment tools, I deduced that integration of storage with renewable energy sources is making a slow but promising growth. عرض أقل

Provided a thorough study of sustainable building recommendations to retrofit an existing mid-rise residential building located in Boston’s Downtown district. Knowledge of sustainable practices suitable for Boston's climate and building performance expectations was used. The target was to reach between 5 and 15% in potential savings for cooling loads within a payback period of 3.5 years. I researched and outlined a rainwater harvesting system for the building to reduce internal and external… عرض المزيد

Provided a thorough study of sustainable building recommendations to retrofit an existing mid-rise residential building located in Boston’s Downtown district. Knowledge of sustainable practices suitable for Boston's climate and building performance expectations was used. The target was to reach between 5 and 15% in potential savings for cooling loads within a payback period of 3.5 years. I researched and outlined a rainwater harvesting system for the building to reduce internal and external water use by approximately 30%, and included additional benefits. عرض أقل
