商品描述

C.S. Lewis rightly instructed, "The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts." This book aims to achieve this task by pushing the frontiers of scholarship for securing a sustainable future through green energy and infrastructure. This encompasses the notion that what we create is in harmony and integration with both the spatial and temporal domains.

Through numerous practical examples and illustrations, the book examines a comprehensive review of the latest science on indoor environmental health, energy requirements for buildings, and the "greening" of infrastructure. Also, it provides a discussion on the underlying properties of biomass and its influence on furthering energy conversion technologies. Energy storage is essential for driving the integration of renewable energy, and different storage approaches are discussed in terms of power balancing, grid stability, and reliability.

Features:

    • Focuses on the importance of coupling green energy with green infrastructure
    • Provides an unbiased update of the state-of-the-art of sustainability science
    • Discusses utilizing sustainable building materials for simultaneous improvement in energy, economic, and environmental bottom lines for industry
    • Illuminates practical steps that need to be undertaken to achieve a greener infrastructure

Green Energy and Infrastructure: Securing a Sustainable Future is appropriate for researchers, students, and decision-makers seeking the latest, practical information on environmental sustainability.

C.S. Lewis 正確地指出:「現代教育者的任務不是砍伐叢林,而是灌溉沙漠。」本書旨在通過推進學術前沿,實現通過綠色能源和基礎設施確保可持續未來的任務。這包含了我們所創造的事物與空間和時間領域的和諧與整合的概念。

通過眾多實際範例和插圖,本書對室內環境健康、建築能源需求以及基礎設施的「綠化」進行了全面的最新科學回顧。此外,還討論了生物質的基本特性及其對推進能源轉換技術的影響。能源儲存對於推動可再生能源的整合至關重要,並且在功率平衡、電網穩定性和可靠性方面討論了不同的儲存方法。

特色:
- 專注於將綠色能源與綠色基礎設施相結合的重要性
- 提供可持續性科學最前沿的無偏見更新
- 討論利用可持續建材同時改善行業的能源、經濟和環境底線
- 闡明為實現更綠色基礎設施所需採取的實際步驟

《綠色能源與基礎設施:確保可持續未來》適合尋求最新實用環境可持續性資訊的研究人員、學生和決策者。
