Welcome to the proceedings of ICESUS 2025, hosted by Accra Technical University from 17 to 19 September 2025. This conference brings together researchers, engineers, and practitioners committed to advancing sustainability through applied science and engineering.

This volume reflects the breadth of work shaping sustainable futures: energy and power systems, materials and manufacturing, fluid and thermal sciences, mechatronics and control, applied physics and chemistry, environmental monitoring, water and air quality, data-driven modeling, and engineering education. While several papers address urban contexts, many report innovations tested at laboratory, pilot, and field scales beyond the built environment.

Our goal is clear: to share methods you can reuse, report results you can verify, and connect theory, experiment, and computation to solve real-world problems. All submissions underwent rigorous external peer review, with decisions based on originality, relevance, methodological rigor, clarity, and potential impact on practice or future research. Accepted papers were revised to incorporate reviewer feedback and formatted for citation and reuse.

To guide your reading, the volume is organized into thematic sections:

• Methods and models
• Materials and manufacturing
• Devices, sensors, and control
• Energy and power
• Environment and resources
• Mechanics and structures
• Teaching and laboratories

As you explore these contributions, consider:

• Which method can you replicate with your current tools?
• What dataset or protocol could you adopt in your lab or pilot plant?
• Where might a model be benchmarked against your local measurements?
• Which result suggests a new joint experiment or shared test rig?
• What would it take to move a promising result from bench to field?

We thank the authors for their careful work and the reviewers and program committee for timely, constructive assessments. We are grateful to session chairs, rapporteurs, volunteers, sponsors, and university leadership for their support.

Use this volume to design your next experiment, refine a model, or improve a process. Share your findings with the community and return to ICESUS with new insights and results that advance sustainable engineering.
