The main theme of VEIC 2022 is Post-pandemic Challenge in Technical and Vocational Education and Training of Higher Education.

The seven volumes LNCS 12249-12255 constitute the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2020, held in Cagliari, Italy, in July 2020. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was organized in an online event. Computational Science is the main pillar of most of the present research, industrial and commercial applications, and plays a unique role in exploiting ICT innovative technologies. The 466 full papers and 32 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 1450 submissions. Apart from the general track, ICCSA 2020 also include 52 workshops, in various areas of computational sciences, ranging from computational science technologies, to specific areas of computational sciences, such as software engineering, security, machine learning and artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies, and of applications in many fields.

We are delighted to introduce The Proceedings of the International Conference on Environmental Science and Sustainable Development in 2019. This conference has taken place with the theme “The Strengthening of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Southeast Asia”. Environmental problems are dynamics and complex that needs the analytical and decision making instruments which can accommodate these characteristics. Environmental science is an interdisciplinary science that delivered to understand complex and dynamic interactions in environmental systems. Studies in Environmental Sciences involves various fields of science which enable the formulation of efforts to solve environmental problems in a holistic and comprehensive way for its sustainability. Sustainable development is a dynamic process in environmental science that includes the process of utilizing natural resources, the direction of investment, the orientation of technological development and institutional change to address the environmental problems. The conference brought together a number of environmental experts from various disciplines, as well as practitioners, students and lecturers. Meanwhile, with a total of 38 papers, then all papers in this proceeding are divided into several sub-topics, i.e.: Ecosystem And Biodiversity Conservation; Environmental Planning And Management; Water And Waste Management; Governance, Culture, and Politics; Sustainable Energy And Renewable Energy; Spatial Planning And Regional Analysis; Community Engagement; Social Movement And Environmental; and Strengthening Of Sustainable Development Goals. We hope that the valuable work and discussion during this proceedings will lead to the initiatives and innovations in getting the Strengthening sustainable development goals, especially in solving environmental problems.

In New Mobilities: Smart Planning for Emerging Transportation Technologies, transportation expert Todd Litman examines 12 emerging transportation modes and services that are likely to significantly affect our lives: bike- and carsharing, micro-mobilities, ridehailing and micro-transit, public transit innovations, telework, autonomous and electric vehicles, air taxis, mobility prioritization, and logistics management. Public policies around New Mobilities can either help create heaven, a well-planned transportation system that uses new technologies intelligently, or hell, a poorly planned transportation system that is overwhelmed by conflicting and costly, unhealthy, and inequitable modes. His expert analysis will help planners, local policymakers, and concerned citizens to make informed choices about the New Mobility revolution.

The car-only approach in transportation planning and engineering has led to the construction of roadways that have torn apart and devalued communities, especially Black and Brown communities. Forging a new path and working to repair this damage requires a community solutions-based approach to planning, designing, and building our roadways. In Roadways for People, Lynn Peterson draws from her personal experience and conversations with leaders in the field to showcase new possibilities within transportation engineering and planning. The community solutions-based approach moves away from the narrow standards of traditional transportation projects and focuses instead on a process that involves consistent feedback, learning loops, and meaningful and regular community engagement. Roadways for People is written to empower professionals and policymakers to create transportation solutions that serve people rather than cars.

This is an open access book. The 4th Annual Technology, Applied Science and Engineering Conference (ATASEC 2022) is an annual, reputable event organized with a motivation to provide an excellent international platform for the academicians, researchers, engineers, industrial participants and research students around the world to share their research findings. ATASEC 2022 was performed online using Zoom platform on September 15th–16th, 2022. ATASEC 2022 theme is Science, Technology, Innovative Academic and Vocational Research Towards Product Development Through Industrial and Educational Cooperation. It addresses researchers and industries from all areas of advanced technology and science. It provides an international forum to present advances in the state of the art, identify emerging research topics, and together define the future of these exciting research domains. The conference will be enriched with renowned keynote speakers.

Code-compliant building materials and equipment will typically have a lower initial cost; however, the lifetime energy savings of the high efficiency equipment will often justify the upfront cost premium and result in a more cost-effective solution. Energy Savings Calculations for Commercial Building Energy Efficiency Upgrades assists energy professionals, contractors, building owners, and managers in developing energy savings estimates that can facilitate a quick assessment of the potential energy savings that might be realized when replacing existing building components with the highest efficiency equipment. It also provides algorithms to estimate greenhouse gas emission reductions that may be achieved by building energy efficiency upgrades and the impact these upgrades can have on building electrification-decarbonization projects. This book: Focuses on the development of energy savings estimates based upon a whole building’s energy consumption and the energy consumption associated with building end-uses such as space heating, space cooling, ventilation, lighting, and so forth. Includes over 70 illustrative examples using algorithms to demonstrate how energy savings and greenhouse gas emission reductions may be estimated utilizing different strategies and equipment.
