The islands are a territory (Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands) of Australia administered from Hobart by the Australian Antarctic Division of the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
The group's overall land area is 372 km 2 (144 sq mi) and it has 101.9 km (63 mi) of coastline. Discovered in the mid-19th century, the islands lie on the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian Ocean and have been an Australian territory since 1947. Heard Island and McDonald Islands contain Australia's only two active volcanoes.
Heard Island and the McDonald Islands have no ports or harbours; ships must anchor offshore. The coastline is 101.9 km (63.3 mi) in extent, and a 12 nmi (22 km) territorial sea and 200 nmi (370 km) exclusive fishing zone are claimed. [ 2 ]
The fauna of the freshwater pools, lakes, streams and mires found in the coastal areas of Heard Island are broadly similar to those on other subantarctic islands of the southern Indian Ocean. Many species reported from Heard Island are found elsewhere.
Heard Island has a number of small wetland sites scattered around its coastal perimeter, including areas of wetland vegetation, lagoons or lagoon complexes, rocky shores and sandy shores, including the Elephant Spit. Many of these wetland areas are separated by active glaciers. There are also several short glacier-fed streams and glacial pools.
Heard Island, by far the largest of the group, is a 368-square-kilometre (142 sq mi) mountainous island covered by 41 glaciers [ 22 ] (the island is 80% covered with ice [ 2 ]) and dominated by the Big Ben massif.

Achieving energy efficiency particularly in Iraq is very critical due to continuous energy crisis since the 1990s. One of the major cities, Basra City faced this crisis since 2003 with energy generation declining by 26.4%. . According to World Watch Institute Estimations, buildings are responsible for 40% of t. . The term ‘energy efficiency’ specifically referring to heating and cooling in buildings is directly related to two factors during the design stage. First, building envelope and second building. . This study compared the performance of energy consumption between conventional system and the proposed IBS system in the same house model in the city of Basra, Iraq. Since it is di. . 4.1.

Energy is an essential commodity. Rapidly increasing populations and economic growth are causing global energy demand to increase, especially in emerging-market economies. Energy supply is interwoven with gl. . Traditionally, energy from biomass has dominated the domestic energy supply for most people in. . 2.1 Solar energySolar energy is by far the largest and most sustainable energy resource in Nepal. The solar resource is two orders of magnitude larger than Nepa. . Balancing high levels of variable solar energy over every hour of every year is straightforward. Storage via batteries and pumped hydro allows the daily solar cycle to be accommod. . Government energy roadmaps in many countries are being overtaken and rendered obsolete by a sustained rapid decline in the cost of solar energy and sustained rapid growth in solar-e. . Nepal has good solar resources by world standards and moderate hydro resources, but negligible wind- and fossil-energy resources. The solar-energy resource is two orders of ma. [pdf]
