- W1567509114 abstract "Abstract — Today global warming, climate change and energy supply are of greater concern as it is widely realized that the planet earth does not provide an infinite capacity for absorbing human industrialization in the 21 st century. The aim of this paper is to analyze upstream and downstream electricity production in selected case studies: a coal power plant, a pump system and a microwave oven covering and consumption to explore the position of energy efficiency in engineering sustainability. Collectively, the analysis presents energy efficiency as a major pathway towards sustainability that requires an inclusive and a holistic supply chain response in the engineering design process. Keywords — Sustainability, technology, efficiency, engineering, energy. I. I NTRODUCTION NERGY supports industrialization and guarantees technological progress. Industrialization is stimulated by societal pursuit of higher standards of living, thus taking a toll on the planet’s ecological system, and consequently natural resources. Actually consumption of natural resource is facilitated by engineers and the engineering profession, whom in turn convert natural resources for the end-user in the form of consumer ready products. In this capacity engineers are positioned at the forefront of the mission. For this reason engineers and the profession have a crucial role to play in sustainability. Engineers could contribute by consuming fewer resources and designing that is energy efficient. However, can sustainability be achieved solely via energy efficiency? This realm of thought germinates numerous unrequited issues. For example, efficiency and sustainability mean different things to different people, and thus is it unreasonable for engineers to focus on the efficiency component of to achieve sustainability? The term technology in this context implies any technical system that can result in and/or be well-described in terms of a process by which humans modify nature to meet their needs and wants. As engineers in society let us examine our professional relationship with sustainability, how do we contribute towards sustainability? Detonating, is it an engineer’s responsibility? Or is it some else’s job? What is sustainability? Definitions of sustainability abound, is it the most oft-cited? What are the imperatives for sustainability? According to [2-6] the role of" @default.
