商品描述

Comprehensively covers the definition, methodology, and current applications of the principles of sustainability and resiliency in every engineering discipline

This book contains detailed information about sustainability and resiliency principles and applications in engineering practice, and provides information on how to use scientific tools for sustainability assessment that help engineers select the best alternative for each project or activity. Logically organized around the three pillars of sustainability--environment, economy, and society--it is a primary resource for students and professionals alike.

Sustainable Engineering: Drivers, Metrics, Tools, and Applications offers numerous ways to help engineers contribute towards global sustainable development while solving some of the grand challenges the world is facing today. The first part of the book covers the environmental, economic, and social impacts associated with project/product development as well as society as a whole. This is followed by a section devoted to sustainability metrics and assessment tools, which includes material flow analysis and material budget, carbon footprint analysis, life cycle assessment, environmental health risk assessment, and more. Next comes an in-depth examination of sustainable engineering practices, including sustainable energy engineering, sustainable waste management, and green and sustainable buildings. The book concludes with a look at how sustainable engineering may be applied to different engineering (i.e. environmental, chemical, civil, materials, infrastructure) projects.

Some of the key features of this book include the following:

  • Provides a complete and sensible understanding of the important concepts of sustainability, resiliency, and sustainable engineering
  • Offers detailed explanations of sustainable engineering practices in waste management and remediation of contaminated sites, civil construction and infrastructure, and climate geoengineering
  • Presents a set of case studies across different engineering disciplines such as bio/chemical, environmental, materials, construction, and infrastructure engineering that demonstrate the practical applicability of sustainability assessment tools to diverse projects
  • Includes questions at the end of each chapter as well as a solutions manual for academic adopters

The depth of coverage found in Sustainable Engineering: Drivers, Metrics, Tools, and Applications makes it an ideal textbook for graduate students across all engineering disciplines and a handy resource for active professionals.

全面涵蓋可持續性和韌性原則在各工程學科中的定義、方法論和當前應用

本書詳細介紹了可持續性和韌性原則及其在工程實踐中的應用，並提供了如何使用科學工具進行可持續性評估的信息，幫助工程師為每個項目或活動選擇最佳替代方案。本書邏輯上圍繞可持續性的三大支柱——環境、經濟和社會進行組織，是學生和專業人士的重要資源。

可持續工程：驅動因素、指標、工具和應用 提供了多種方式，幫助工程師在解決當今世界面臨的一些重大挑戰的同時，為全球可持續發展做出貢獻。本書的第一部分涵蓋了與項目/產品開發及整個社會相關的環境、經濟和社會影響。接下來是一個專門介紹可持續性指標和評估工具的部分，包括物質流分析和物質預算、碳足跡分析、生命週期評估、環境健康風險評估等。接下來深入探討可持續工程實踐，包括可持續能源工程、可持續廢物管理和綠色可持續建築。本書最後探討了可持續工程如何應用於不同的工程項目（即環境、化學、土木、材料、基礎設施）。

本書的一些主要特點包括：

  • 提供對可持續性、韌性和可持續工程重要概念的完整且合理的理解

  • 詳細解釋了在廢物管理和受污染地點修復、土木建設和基礎設施、氣候地球工程中的可持續工程實踐

  • 展示了跨越不同工程學科（如生物/化學、環境、材料、建設和基礎設施工程）的案例研究，證明可持續性評估工具在多樣化項目中的實用性

  • 每章末尾包含問題以及供學術採用者使用的解答手冊

    • 可持續工程：驅動因素、指標、工具和應用 的深度涵蓋使其成為所有工程學科研究生的理想教科書，也是活躍專業人士的便捷資源。
