A novel Internet-based information communication technology (ICT) infrastructure for an eco-accounting system was successfully developed to deliver “EcoCosts”, which are the values of environmental impact throughout the product life cycle. The ICT infrastructure manages its internal elements and interacts with operation modules in the supply chain via Web-based service interfaces. The infrastructure consists of upperware, middleware, and resource layers. The upperware layer manipulates the middleware elements (cloud-based load balancing, life cycle assessment, Web-based services, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-enabled mobile access), and manages the associated resources within the eco-accounting system. As novel features of the ICT infrastructure, load balancing is used to handle large numbers of data and to allocate the computing load across the eco-accounting network nodes, and life cycle assessment is conducted to analyse product footprints, which are the core of “EcoCost”, to facilitate consumers in comparing the environmental impacts between different products. A case study was conducted by transmitting product EcoCosts from businesses to consumers through the Internet, successfully verifying the system developed in this research. Because this research aims to pay more attention to the ICT aspects, the EcoCost is represented using a single value, hence simplifying the related calculation. This research provides a novel solution for dealing with the large numbers of data and computing loads required to manage EcoCost data throughout the product life cycle and to transmit EcoCosts from businesses to consumers.

Nowadays, eco-accounting is widely used in sustainable consumption and production. In order to incentivise consumers’ sustainable consumption and enhance their environmental awareness, a novel mobile based eco-accounting infrastructure has been developed by this research. It applies the eco-credit values to incentivise the consumer’s recycling activities and utilises the eco-cost values to record the consumer’s footprint obtained through consumption. The infrastructure consists of four modules: the consumer’s eco-account, eco-shopping, eco-recycling and eco-incentives. In order to implement the mobile eco-accounting infrastructure, multiple mobile technologies have been applied to develop the novel functions of the mobile app, including a new QR encryption algorithm, embedded Google maps, advanced Internet-based services and multi-language support. A case study is conducted by demonstrating the consumer’s purchasing and recycling processes. It proves that the novel mobile application system has been successfully developed, which provides an effective support for the implementation and demonstration of the eco-accounting infrastructure.

The function of the eco-accounting is to measure the ecological impact of product, or called eco-point, throughout product’s life cycle. In the eco-accounting, large amounts of dynamic data are to be captured for the calculation of eco-point. In order to obtain the data, the Information and communication technology (ICT) is required to collect dynamic data for the calculation of eco-point, and then make them accessible for all stakeholders along the value chain, from one operation model to another, for example, from material extraction to product manufacture and from supplier to customer, in order to measure the product’s eco-point. Based on the eco-point, the eco-debit and eco-credit are obtained, which are applied in the different areas with major concerns on sustainability, such as production sustainability assessment, eco-shopping, recycling, and consumer’s eco-account.

Water-cooled air conditioning units have huge potential for providing a low carbon emission solution to controlling the temperature and humidity of commercial and domestic buildings as they do not rely on hazardous refrigerant materials in their operation unlike most present devices. Currently, however, its use is limited in high humidity areas due to low cooling efficiency and no effective method for controlling this type of system remotely. This research developed a novel remote-controlled system for use with air-conditioning units utilising solid desiccant dehumidifiers which can be employed to create low carbon emission buildings. The system employs multiple information technologies such as sensor fusion, digital input/output communication and mobile technologies to monitor and control the internal conditions of air-conditioned buildings and provides data collection, data processing, system control, and mobile access. The data collection module is built based on sensor fusion technologies to detect the operating status of the conditioned air. The real-time data processing module is implemented with feature extraction and non-linearization computing to process received data and transmit commands to a control unit. A case study involved monitoring and controlling the working conditions of a solid desiccant dehumidifier employed in an air conditioning unit. Remote control of the process was performed by tuning a NI-DAQ controller's parameters to regulate humidity, temperature, flow rates and other conditions in the unit. A mobile phone was utilised to demonstrate the remote-control function. The results prove that the system developed is successful in controlling the operation of water-cooled air conditioning units.

A remote online condition monitoring system for thermo-electric-generations (TEGs) is reported in this paper, which is applied in sustainable buildings. The system monitors the electrical power and heat energy generated by TEGs and to regulate the temperature of cold side of thermoelectric (TE) units used in the TEGs. The system provides the following major functions: data acquisition, data processing, system control and remote communication. The data acquisition module is built up within this system based on sensor technology and data I/O communication to acquire the data of working conditions of TEGs. System control is implemented by sending the commands to the control unit of the water valve for adjusting the temperature of cold side of TE units. The system has been validated by carrying out a case study of remote monitoring the working conditions of TEGs.
