This book contains an introduction and 20 studies, each describing
a recent research investigation in the area of sustainable and
resilient buildings, built environment infrastructure and renewable
energy. Contributions are from many different countries of the
world and on a range of topics, representing a sample of research
within the 'sustainable energy and buildings' field. The book
begins with chapters on the sustainable design of buildings,
followed by descriptions of issues relating to the renovation,
restoration and reconstruction of existing buildings, or in one
case a railway wagon. The next part of the book covers factors that
form barriers or impediments to low or zero carbon buildings,
followed by studies of issues relating to policy and certification.
There then follow four chapters on various topics related to
sustainable buildings - undergraduate courses, insurance issues,
biophilia relating to buildings and thermal conductivity
measurement. There are several chapters relating to renewable
energy, followed by two chapters with a sustainable transport
theme, one relating to electric vehicles, and the other about a
sustainable road infrastructure. The final chapter is on the
manufacture of sustainable building components for the UK housing
sector. The book is of use to engineers, scientists, researchers,
practitioners, academics and all those who are interested to
develop and use sustainability science and technology for the
betterment of our planet and humankind, and to mitigate climate
change reality.
