Reduction of Operational Carbon Emission in Commercial buildings

Research Title

The Reduction of operational carbon emission in commercial buildings in Temperate and Tropical zones. A case study of Nakanoshima area.

Problem Statement

The commercial buildings in Nakanoshima area which have approximately 1.2 million square meters of total floor area are said to be emitting 88 thousand tons of CO2. This has been a big problem in the area affecting both the customers and the owners of the problem. (Yamaguchi,2013) Comment by Mohamad Kassem: This is not an adequate problem statement. This is caused by the fact you read only one paper. The problem statement has to be applicable to an entire sector. Your project is not and cannot be about commercial buildings in Nakanoshima

Aim of the study

This research aims at finding out the effects caused by the emissions operational carbon on the buildings in Nakanoshima area and the ways of reducing this reduction to minimize the impact of the gases on buildings and business operations Comment by Mohamad Kassem: See my previous comment. You are treating your dissertation as an assignment. This is serious piece of work where you should investigate a problem at industry level using latest papers on the subject.

Objectives

1. To find out the methods that can be used to reduce the emission of operational carbon in Nakanoshima area. Comment by Mohamad Kassem: See my previous comment.

2. To identify the effects caused by emission of operational carbon on commercial buildings in Nakanoshima area. Comment by Mohamad Kassem: See my previous comment. Nakanoshima could be simply one example in your dissertation. So, if I ask you: How are you going to deliver this objective? If your answer I will use the one paper cited, this would not be enough for your dissertation.

3. To find out the effects of operational carbon on business operations in Nakanoshima area. Comment by Mohamad Kassem: See my previous comment. And how this objective is different from the previous one.

4. To find out the technological deployment that can be used in commercial buildings to reduce the emission of operational carbon. Comment by Mohamad Kassem: This objective is the only one that is suitable.
