Energy and environment management is becoming increasingly important for the companies, and for the whole society. Increasing energy prices and the climate change are the main drivers behind this phenomenon. Industrial Ecology Management (IEM) is concerned with the core objectives of security of energy supply, economic efficiency, sustainability an...

... important model in knowledge management is the methodology of knowledge building blocks [98]. This methodology includes eight building blocks that provide a framework for the development of knowledge management as shown in Figure 30. The six core components form the inner cycle and the two other forms the outer cycle. ...

... change process is a top-down process. The process flow of a culture rollout as shown in Figure 34 begins with an event to inform all the employees about the upcoming changes. The other phases include offering workshops to employees in small groups in order to facilitate in depth discussion and transfer of knowledge. ...

Through proactive sustainability communication, potential investors and customers can be attracted which otherwise may deter by the lack of communication. ...

Figure 36 shows the modular structure of TIEMS that integrate different sub functions necessary for ecology management creating thereby, a holistic software solution. The segments with green solid color are the core elements of the TIEMS and the elements with a green outline represent the add-on features. ...

... communication protocols and bus systems are used in this approach to support the collection of data from meters [128]. Figure 38 shows that the path of resource consumption data, from its acquisition to its analysis, includes four major stations. Gateway for the data An internet of things (IOT) gateway called "Open Access -Gateway" was developed to serve as an interface between the plants and the cloud platform. ...

... gateway is an edge-computing device that collects, filters, aggregate and forwards raw and preprocessed data of the production plant to the cloud platform. The modular design of this gateway (see Figure 39) allows further integration of plants and systems to the cloud platform easily [129]. This gateway was designed exclusively using open-source software and it is implemented in Node.JS. ...

Visualizations of data according to the procedures illustrated in Figure 43 is only generated by the server on request of the clients and represent passive service, which can be used at any time. In contrast, condition monitoring is continuously and actively executed independently of client requests. ...

Similar to EPIAs, resources are treated as signable objects in the database structure, so that decisions can be traced back at any time. ...
