Abstract: The building industry is a significant contributor to global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and is responsible for approximately 30% of global CO2 emissions. In order to evaluate energy efficient practices in the building sector, the authors propose a Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC), assessing the costs and reduction potentials of abatement measures, based on data obtained from Building Information Modelling (BIM). This integrated approach combines a building stock forecast with CO2 abatement measures modelled with BIM, providing more valuable insights to policy makers for the achievement of emission reductions in a cost-effective manner. With the financial support of the Colombian Ministry of Environment, the model is applied up to 2040, capturing the building stock of three major cities representing the diversity of the Colombian climate. Results are given as a MACC for reduction of CO2 emissions from Colombian office buildings, showing that there is a significant cost-effective

Abstract: This paper presents the ballistic limit for the non-filled aluminium tank. The main objective was to determine the ballistic limit for the front and rear wall of the tank. In the experiment study, the aluminium tank was 3 mm thick, 150 mm wide and 750 mm long. It was impacted by the fragment simulating projectile (FSP) with the velocity from 239 m/s up to 556 m/s. The numerical models were created with the commercial Altair Hyperworks 12.0. The tank was modeled into two parts, which were the walls impacted by the projectile (front and rear walls) and the lateral wall. The impacted walls had finer element compared with the lateral wall. The impacted walls and lateral wall elements were 0.5 mm2 and 10 mm2, respectively. Meanwhile, the FSP was modeled as rigid body. It was observed that the ballistic limit for the front and rear wall tank was 257.7 m/s and 481 m/s, respectively. The numerical study conducted showed the agreement with experimental results.
