This book was released on 2012-01-15 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Sustainability in Energy and Buildings, SEB’11, held in Marseilles in France, organised by the Laboratoire des Sciences del'Information et des Systèmes (LSIS) in Marseille, France in partnership with KES International. SEB'11 formed a welcome opportunity for researchers in subjects related to sustainability, renewable energy technology, and applications in the built environment to mix with other scientists, industrialists and stakeholders in the field. The conference featured presentations on a range of renewable energy and sustainability related topics. In addition the conference explored two innovative themes: the application of intelligent sensing, control, optimisation and modelling techniques to sustainability and the technology of sustainable buildings. These two themes combine synergetically to address issues relating to The Intelligent Building. SEB’11 attracted a significant number of submissions from around the world. These were subjected to a two-stage blind peer-review process. With the objective of producing a high-quality conference, only the best 50 or so of these were selected for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings. It is hoped that you will find this volume an interesting, informative and useful resource for your research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proceedings of Sustainable Resilient Built Environments are based on the SRBE 2022 conference held in December 2022. It focuses on the advances under the overarching theme of ‘Sustainability’. The concept of ‘Sustainability’ has been conventionally defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In scientific literature, sustainable development has been analysed using different qualitative approaches, such as economic, social, ecological, cultural, institutional, ethical, and political. In this edited volume, the concepts of both ‘sustainability’, and ‘resilience’ are considered to open up useful pathways towards achieving sustainable buildings and infrastructure. Though the concepts of sustainability and resilience are considered to help improve the built environment, the interrelations and interdependence between these two concepts are not clearly evident. This has led to the questions such as: Is the sustainable built environment always resilient? Is the resilient built environment always sustainable? What more is needed for sustainability? In exploring these pertinent questions, the proposed edited volume is expected to unveil and disseminate new insights on the themes related to sustainable and resilient built environment. The themes of the proceedings lay a platform for researchers and professionals to integrate the aspects including smart, innovation, technologies, green, energy efficiency, carbon reduction, sustainability and resilience with regard to buildings and other built infrastructure. Specific objectives included as per the five themes are as follows: Environment Design and Sustainability Sustainable & Smart Buildings Community Resilience & Social Sustainability Heritage and Sustainability Pandemic issues and sustainable development

This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition was extremely well received, providing an introduction and insight to this important topic in a comprehensive yet easy to read form. It was chosen to be issued to the representatives of the organizations from the G8 and G20 countries attending the University Summit held in Turin in 2009 which addressed the issue of how education and research can assist sustainable development. The second edition, completely updated to reflect the significant advances and new insights that have been made since publication of the first edition, focuses on two main issues: Facilitating a dialogue between all stakeholders so that the complexity of the problem can be exposed, structured and communicated Understanding how to assess progress in sustainable development It continues to provide coherent guidance on the techniques that can be used to assess sustainable development in a rigorous manner. The approach is introduced using illustrations and case studies, together with follow-up references. It remains the ideal starting point for those trying to get a handle on the subject and for those who wish to examine a structured and systematic approach to the evaluation of sustainable development in the built environment.

Download or read book Urban Forestry written by Robert W. Miller and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully updated and greatly enhanced, the Third Edition of Urban Forestry addresses current issues in planning, establishing, and managing trees, forests, and other elements of nature in urban and community ecosystems. The authors discuss why we have trees in cities and how we use them, clarify the appraisal and inventory of urban vegetation, and extensively delve into the planning and management of public as well as private vegetation. As urban forestry continues to evolve as a profession, foresters and arborists can expect many challenges as well as opportunities. The continuing development of cities has become linked to a much greater emphasis on urban vegetation, the growing demand for recreation amenities within the urban environment, and the careful and successful management of vegetation in an urban ecosystem. New ways to incorporate the highly versatile urban forest resource into the urban fabric will undoubtedly benefit the lives of its residents.
