Download and read online ebook Sustainable Built Environments write by Vivian Loftness. This book was released on 2020-09-23. Sustainable Built Environments available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This volume in the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology, Second Edition, describes the breadth of science and engineering knowledge critical to advancing sustainable built environments, from architecture and design, mechanical engineering, lighting, and materials to water and energy, public policy, and economics. Covering both building, landscape and green infrastructure design and management, detailed consideration is given to how the building sector, the biggest player in the energy use equation, can minimize energy demand while providing measurable gains for productivity, health, and the environment. With a focus on the environmental context, the reader will understand how sustainable design merges the natural, minimum resource conditioning solutions of the past (daylight, solar heat, and natural ventilation) with the innovative technologies including nature-based solutions of the present. The desired result is an integrated “intelligent” and as socially “just as possible” system that supports individual control with expert negotiation for resource consciousness.

Leadership, Culture and Sustainable Built Environment available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This e-book on 'Leadership, Culture and Sustainable Built Environment' examines the important link between leadership, culture and sustainability which have separately been the subject of numerous studies in a built environment context. After a rigorous double blind review process, six papers have been selected for publication in this e-book that brings these separate issues together; with one paper on sustainability in the built environment, three papers on the link between leadership and sustainability in the built environment and two papers on the contribution of culture in a sustainable bu.

Download and read online ebook Design and Management of Sustainable Built Environments write by Runming Yao. This book was released on 2013-03-12. Design and Management of Sustainable Built Environments available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Climate change is believed to be a great challenge to built environment professionals in design and management. An integrated approach in delivering a sustainable built environment is desired by the built environment professional institutions. The aim of this book is to provide an advanced understanding of the key subjects required for the design and management of modern built environments to meet carbon emission reduction targets. In Design and Management of Sustainable Built Environments, an international group of experts provide comprehensive and the most up-to-date knowledge, covering sustainable urban and building design, management and assessment. The best practice case studies of the implementation of sustainable technology and management from the BRE Innovation Park are included. Design and Management of Sustainable Built Environments will be of interest to urban and building designers, environmental engineers, and building performance assessors. It will be particularly useful as a reference book for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the built environment field.

Download and read online ebook Evaluation of the Built Environment for Sustainability write by Vicenzo Bentivegna. This book was released on 2003-09-02. Evaluation of the Built Environment for Sustainability available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Sustainability in the built environment is a major issue facing policy-makers, planners, developers and designers in the UK, Europe and worldwide. The measuring of buildings and cities for sustainability becomes increasingly important as pressure for green, sustainable development translates into policy and legislation. The problems of such measurement and evaluation are presented by the authors in contributions which move from the general to the particular, e.g. from a general framework for an environmentally sustainable form of urban development to a specific input-output model application to environmental problems. The book is divided into three parts: the first covers city models and sustainable systems - research programmes, environmental policies, green corporations and collaborative strategies to make urban development more sustainable; part two discusses the problems of evaluating the built environment in planning and construction, covering economic and environmental methods and construction, development and regeneration processes; part three illustrates a number of applications using different approaches and techniques and referring to a range of environmental aspects of the natural and built environment, from maintaining historic buildings to transport management and air pollution monitoring.
