University of Technology Sydney wins Australian Sustainability Award with world’s first 3D-printed air diffusion system

Leave a comment

SYDNEY, April 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Systems Reef 2 (SR2), a collaboration between UTS and BVN Architecture, reduces the carbon footprint of commercial buildings through energy-efficient design and materials.

A SR2 prototype is currently installed in the BVN Sydney office. Photo supplied.
A SR2 prototype is currently installed in the BVN Sydney office. Photo supplied.

UTS and BVN Architecture have won the Green Building Material/Product Award at the most recent Australian Sustainability Awards for their 3D-printed air diffusion system, designed to reduce the carbon footprint of commercial buildings.

Many buildings currently use traditional air distribution systems which have not seen significant innovations over the last one hundred years. These systems are not tailored to each space, and they cannot be reconfigured to adapt to the changing ways we work or live.

UTS and BVN found inspiration in nature as they redesigned air diffusion from the ground up. Eschewing traditional methods of design and manufacture, the team built a system that mimics the respiratory system of frogs; SR2 uses an aerodynamic design with fine pores to ‘mist’ cool air rather than dump it into one spot.

Informed by a circular economy approach, UTS and BVN chose recycled PETG plastic so that SR2 was fully recyclable at the end of its life.

“The building industry is one of the highest contributors to global waste, one of the biggest consumers of energy and materials and has some of the most significant contributions to CO2 emissions,” says Tim Schork, chief investigator and Adjunct Professor at the UTS School of Architecture.

UTS and BVN designed SR2 for the purpose of retrofitting existing building stock with outdated air distribution systems that use significant amounts of electricity.

“Compared to Australia, there are even more buildings globally whose air diffusion systems need to be renewed. It’d be great to see SR2 implemented in other parts of the world,” Tim says.

Now patented, SR2 is one step closer to market-readiness.

“SR2 can be installed in any office environment, but is not just for these spaces. It can be installed in supermarkets, hotels, commercial stores, and homes where there are many existing air duct systems that can be replaced,” Tim says.

The University of Technology Sydney is a leading university of technology, ranked 15th in the world and 2nd in Australia in the 2022 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings. For more information, visit uts.edu.au.

Modular Furniture Design Company Mojuraa Cuts Costs by Shipping Directly From the Manufacturer

Leave a comment

Mojuraa, a direct-from-manufacturer furniture company, offers a wide range of customizable packages made with premium materials. Customers can cut out the middleman and save money because Mojuraa makes the furniture and ships it directly to consumers for free.

LOS ANGELES, March 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Mojuraa crafts its furniture with luxury materials and unique techniques that allow for stylish comfort and extraordinary durability. The company takes its name from the Japanese word for “modular” and creates pieces with endless combination options and changeable layout designs. Mojuraa released the transformer collection on March 7th, and proposed a People-first Modular concept. The selling point of this collection is endlessly combination. Mojuraa modular system is designed to grow with you. It’s flexible and can accommodate numerous arrangements.

Combining the modular approach with premium materials and stylish, comfortable affordability, Mojuraa believes customers should be able to secure durable, versatile furniture without breaking the bank.
Combining the modular approach with premium materials and stylish, comfortable affordability, Mojuraa believes customers should be able to secure durable, versatile furniture without breaking the bank.

“At Mojuraa, we share the same values in our approach to the ‘art-of-making,’ referred to as ‘monozukuri’ in the Japanese philosophy of craftsmanship. We engineer a people-first modular design around our customer’s experience reasonably, rather than a warehouse pallet or shipping container extremely,” Mojuraa Chief Designer Andrew Chan said.

Revolutionizing the furniture industry

Mojuraa is taking its place as a game changer in the furniture industry, with free shipping on every order and a consistent dedication to fast, safe, and reliable delivery services. The company’s furniture arrives in easy-to-move boxes intentionally designed to effectively maneuver through tight spaces and put together with simple partial assembly.

“We use durable materials like substantial wood frames, luxury wax leather, and reclaimed fibers,” Chan said. “As a forward-looking furniture brand, we aim to design the most eco-friendly sofas. We attach great importance to using recycled materials in our products and packaging to minimize waste and maximize environmental impact.”

The traditional retail process often involves numerous stops between the manufacturer and the customer’s home, particularly if the furniture is produced overseas. The costs of those extra steps are frequently passed on to the customer, but Mojuraa ships furniture directly to customers from its manufacturing facility, passing the savings on to consumers.

Committed to quality

Mojuraa maintains a commitment to quality as a core value. The company stands firmly behind its products, offering a limited three-year warranty. Utilizing stain-resistant materials, Mojuraa furniture can withstand water, coffee, pet urine, ketchup, and even red wine.

“We believe that luxury furniture shouldn’t break the bank,” Chan said. “Our direct-from-manufacturer model truly removes the middleman in order to pass the savings on to the consumer.”

After arrival, Mojuraa furniture is easy for one person to assemble, and it’s as easy to take it apart as it was to put together, so users can take it with them if they move to a new living space. The endless configurations allow customers to adapt their furniture to fit their space and lifestyle.

Versatile modular design

Combining the modular approach with premium materials and stylish, comfortable affordability, Mojuraa believes customers should be able to secure durable, versatile furniture without breaking the bank.

“Our modular system is designed to grow with you. It’s flexible and can accommodate numerous arrangements,” Chan said.

Loyalty program

Mojuraa offers customers a loyalty program with a simple three-step process. Sign up for the loyalty program through the website, shop for incredible furniture to earn points, and redeem points for discounts on future purchases. Customers receive one point for every dollar they spend and can redeem coupons in various amounts: $50 for 500 points, $100 for 1,000 points, etc.

CGTN: Infrastructure, vaccines and space: China-Arab sci-tech cooperation

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Dec. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China-Arab cooperation in the fields of infrastructure, space and health has been continuously developed in a sustainable manner.

China has vowed to accelerate the development of the China-Arab inter-governmental science and technology innovation cooperation mechanism.

The country will implement more partner projects, and continue to improve the sci-tech capabilities of Arab states.

Lusail Stadium: first China-built World Cup venue

Lusail Stadium, the main venue for this year’s World Cup, was constructed with China Railway Construction Corporation as the main contractor.

Shaped like a date palm bowl or an enamel lantern, the stadium will host the World Cup final, scheduled for December 18.

It is the first time a Chinese company has built a World Cup venue, which is featured on the new 10-riyal banknote of Qatar.

“The Lusail Stadium is by far the world’s largest, most advanced and most complex professional football stadium built to FIFA standards,” Li Chongyang, head of the Chinese side of the engineering team, told the China Media Group (CMG).

Lusail Stadium, which can host 80,000 spectators, shows Chinese enterprises’ technical capabilities and service levels, Hassan Al Thawadi, secretary general of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy for 2022 FIFA World Cup, told CGTN.

China-UAE joint vaccines projects

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) helped China with the clinical trial of its COVID-19 vaccine and later established localized production lines.

In 2020, the UAE approved registration of an inactivated vaccine developed by China’s Sinopharm.

“The UAE was the first country to approach a Chinese vaccine,” Ali Obaid Al Dhaheri, the UAE ambassador to China, told CGTN. “The production facility can produce 200 million doses per year. The vaccine is not for the UAE, not for China, but for the rest of the world.”

Space cooperation

China is pushing forward space cooperation with countries participating in the BRI.

China and Saudi Arabia signed a memorandum of understanding on March 16, 2017, sharing the scientific data in space cooperation.

The two then jointly unveiled three lunar images acquired through cooperation on the relay satellite mission for Chang’e-4 lunar probe, according to the China National Space Administration.

In 2018, the China-Arab States BDS/GNSS Center, the first overseas center for China’s indigenous Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), was inaugurated in Tunisia. BDS-related cooperation expanded to more Arab states in 2021 as they agreed to implement more pilot projects.

In addition, Kuwait’s national satellite team looks forward to cooperating with China.
