TextPublisher: Boca Raton : CRC Press, 2020Description: 216 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780367656669 (pbk.) :Subject(s): Sustainable engineering | Environment and ecology | Environment and EcologyDDC classification: 628 Summary: 'Sustainable Engineering' provides a comprehensive overview of the interdisciplinary field of sustainability as it applies to engineering and methods for implementation of sustainable practices. Due to increasing constraints on resources and on the environment and effects of climate change, engineers are being faced with new challenges. While it is generally believed that the concepts of sustainable design must be adhered to so that future generations may be protected, the execution and practice of these concepts are very difficult. This book gives both a conceptual understanding as well as practical skills to apply sustainable engineering principles to engineering design. It introduces relevant theory, principles, and ethical expectations for engineers, presents concepts related to industrial ecology, green engineering, and eco-design.
