This research service identifies six technologies that are poised to have a profound impact on the environmental sector in 2012 and 2013.

Smart buildings are an integral part of the future of building technologies. Over the course of this decade, several factors are expected to promote the development of smart buildings. The market will be fuelled by the need for energy efficiency and decreasing operational costs. Revenues are highest in North America and Europe. However, certain tec...

This studys research objective was to gauge the usage of building technologies (BT) within U.S. retail chains with at least five stores. Data was collected in August 2011 using Web-based survey, which sampled 182 U.S. managers. Retailers were familiar with all BT the survey contained, but technologies most commonly employed included fire suppress...

This studys research objective is to gauge the usage of building technologies and physical security technologies within United States retail chains. The data was collected in August 2011, using a web-based survey. The sample consisted of 182 managers. The study examines technologies including access control systems: keypads, card readers, and ana...

The aim of this research service is to analyze the types of wastes managing techniques that could be employed in order to reduce, recycle and reuse them so that environment impact is lowered and the emission of poisonous and greenhouse gases are relatively reduced. This research study provides an overview of waste management techniques employed in ...
