Abstract

The construction sector is a major contributor to resource depletion and greenhouse gas emissions, underscoring the importance of adopting sustainable practices to meet environmental and climate goals. However, current assessments often underestimate impacts because of narrow system boundaries and insufficiently localized material inventory data, creating a critical research gap in accurately evaluating building sustainability. This study therefore applies to a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework to evaluate the environmental performance of key construction materials and to investigate strategies for integrating circular design and renewable energy to reduce carbon footprints. The results reveal that medium-term environmental impacts are approximately 20–30% higher than previously reported, while the Global Warming Potential of conventional brick increases by about 23% when additional life-cycle stages are considered. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrates that design-for-disassembly and recycling-oriented approaches can significantly enhance material recovery and reduce waste. These findings imply that developing harmonized, region-specific material databases and promoting circular construction alongside renewable energy integration are essential for improving LCA accuracy and achieving meaningful reductions in the environmental footprint of buildings.

Abstract

The aerodynamic performance of wind turbine blades plays a critical role in maximizing energy generation and overall system efficiency, making it a key consideration in modern renewable energy design. Despite extensive research on blade optimization, there remains a notable gap in understanding the combined effects of spoiler and winglet geometries, particularly their size and orientation on aerodynamic efficiency under low wind speed conditions. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a comprehensive numerical investigation into the influence of spoiler and winglet configurations on wind turbine performance. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed using COMSOL Multiphysics, with the k-ε turbulence model employed to accurately capture turbulent flow behavior. A detailed parametric analysis was carried out, considering winglet height (4%–13% of blade radius), cant angle (20°–90°), twist angle (−2° to 12°), and tip speed ratio (0.02–1.12) at a wind velocity of 3 m/s. The results reveal that optimal combinations of spoiler and winglet parameters significantly enhance aerodynamic efficiency. The study identifies specific design ranges that maximize power output, achieving a peak aerodynamic power of 62.8 W. Although the addition of these aerodynamic devices increases the inertia of the turbine, the system performance improves, with an observed increase in output power of approximately 12%. These findings provide valuable insights for the design and optimization of wind turbine blades, particularly for low wind speed applications.
