Second, for urban land use efficiency, the intensity and efficiency of social metabolism could be influenced by land use efficiency, which indicated that a highly efficient industrial estate and storage land use could decrease the intensity of material consumption.
The model provides a decision-making tool for optimal design of bioenergy value chains supporting an economically and land-use efficient and environmentally sustainable UK energy system while still delivering multiple ecosystem services.
The Paris accord seeks to stabilise global carbon emissions by the second half of the century, through a rapid move away from high-carbon energy, transport, housing and land use towards efficient, low carbon, climate-resilient alternatives.
The sampling design stratified by the land use was more efficient than the global random method.
The homes are also energy efficient and clustered for more efficient land use.
The paper goes on to identify the issues facing construction in meeting the sustainable development agenda; these include efficient use of natural resources, reducing energy consumption, reducing emissions, minimizing waste, more efficient land use, reducing the impact on construction sites and creating better employment conditions.
Instead a land tax encourages efficient land use.
Its setting on spacious rolling terrain is exceptional in a community devoted to efficient land use.
Some economists say this shift would lead to more efficient land use and allow much larger farms to be established.
Land use would be more efficient, ugly urban sprawl would be avoided, and the residents, Ikea and New Rochelle would all be winners.
Reform entailed the redistribution of large tracts of land among the landless peasantry, thereby absorbing greater amounts of labour and encouraging more efficient land use.
