Abstract: Various examples are provided related to electrical planarization of carbon nanotube thin films or networks. In one example, a method includes depositing one or more thin protective organic and/or inorganic layer across a nanotube film; disrupting electrical conductance of portions of the nanotube film by exposure of out-of-plane nanotubes to a planarization process that disrupts the electrical conductance through the one or more thin protective organic and/or inorganic layer; and removing the one or more thin protective organic and/or inorganic layer from the nanotube film.

Abstract: Various examples are provided related to exergy-based life cycle assessment of buildings. In one example, a method includes obtaining building parameters of a building including material mass values of the building; determining exergy-based life cycle assessment (Exe-LCA) values of the building using the building parameters; and modifying a building design using the Exe-LCA values. The Exe-LCA values can include life cycle resource depletion, life cycle exergy loss of emissions and/or total Exe-LCA of the building. In another example, a system includes a computing device and an ExeLCA analysis program that can cause the computing device to determine Exe-LCA values of a building based at least in part upon building parameters of the building and provide at least one modification of a design of the building based upon the Exe-LCA values.
