Net-zero emissions refer to the state in which the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere is balanced by the amount removed or offset, resulting in no additional net contribution to the accumulation of these gases. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), contribute to the warming of

Jane Popesco had been a dedicated teacher for many years in a small rural school nestled in the picturesque Carpathian Mountains of Romania.

Often in a very pragmatic modern society we are facing a very difficult question. What is the cost of implementing sustainability at the national, or global level? Estimates are affected by huge uncertainties, but, on the other hand, do such estimates make sense? During a crisis, do we do our calculations first and then intervene?

Nowadays we are talking more and more about smart cities and we are proud for the solutions we created to transform our cities of today into the smart cities of tomorrow. We are very determined to reduce the carbon footprint, to create more environmentally friendly approaches and technologies to support the health and comfort of

Almost for each of us there is a home, a place to which we return every day or after certain periods of time. In the complicated world of recent years, home has a much more sensitive meaning.
