At present, the quality of the indoor environment is a major problem for most buildings and especially for the buildings with a higher concentration of people. Czech R&D Institution founded as an independent institute of a technical university focused on research activities related to energy efficient buildings offers a sensor platform for comprehensive evaluation of indoor environment quality which provides an integrated combination of measurements of five parameters all-in-one solution.

Cogeneration units are used as sources of electricity and heat in many buildings and usually run on natural gas where waste heat is generated as by-product. Using the disclosed ORC unit, some of the unusable heat can be converted into electrical energy, which can be used in the enterprise itself or can be sold to the grid (up to 10 kWe).

Relying on a longstanding experience in the design of industrial machinery, an Italian inventor has developed an innovative method to produce synthetic diamonds, with particular reference to those used in the manufacture of jewellery, in a shorter time and at a lower cost. This new method would allow the production of larger sized synthetic diamonds, able to compete with natural diamonds and to increase the available annual global market, which currently amounts to 20 billion dollars/year. Other potential applications could be in the development and production of carbon chips substrate.

Electricity is still used as a source of heating in many buildings, which is extremely disadvantageous in terms of operating costs. Developed cogeneration unit based on ORC technology for wood chips (biomass) can be imagined as an automatic boiler which generates electricity (3 kW) in addition to heat (50 kW), a small version of a conventional power station (micro electric power station) that can be installed in a container. The device is designed as ORC unit with outputs corresponding to the consumption of client´s needs - e.g.
