Advanced Studies in Energy Efficiency and Built Environment for Developing Countries: Proceedings of Ierek Conferences: Improving Sustainability Conce
暫譯: 發展中國家能源效率與建築環境的進階研究：Ierek 會議論文集：提升可持續性概念

本編輯書籍分為三個部分。這是2017年在埃及由IEREK主辦的第二屆國際會議「改善發展中國家可持續性概念」（ISCDC）和第二屆國際會議「建築與城市主義中的替代與可再生能源探索」（AREQ）所呈現的選定研究論文的結晶。書中討論了威脅我們未來的主要環境問題和挑戰，包括氣候變遷影響、環境惡化、對能源需求的增加以及對替代可再生能源來源的新方法，這些已成為生存的必要條件。除了探討當今所見的各種環境問題外，本書中所呈現的研究強調了以可再生能源來源可持續塑造建築和城市的必要性。本書涵蓋的主題包括（1）建成環境的韌性，（2）能源效率建築設計，以及（3）建築與城市主義中的替代與可再生能源資源探索。本書對於持續希望更新這些領域知識的研究人員和學者，以及需要足夠知識以做出正確決策以造福環境和社會的決策者來說，具有重要的參考價值。
