    Energy and the Earth

    by Alan R. Carroll ...
    Our energy use and its consequences (including climate change) motivate some of the most contentious and complex public debates of our time. Although these issues are often cast in terms of renewable versus non-renewable energy, in reality both depend on finite Earth resources. The evolution of the Earth itself therefore offers a uniquely illuminating perspective from which to evaluate alternative ... Read more

  • Nearly Zero Energy Building Refurbishment

    A Multidisciplinary Approach

    Edited by Fernando Pacheco Torgal, Marina Mistretta, Claes G. Granqvist, Luisa F. Cabeza, Artūras Kaklauskas ...
    The recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) was adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on 19 May 2010. For new buildings, the recast fixes 2020 as the deadline for all new buildings to be “nearly zero energy” (and even sooner for public buildings – by the end of 2018). This book gives practitioner an important tool to tackle the challenges ... Read more

  • Evolutionary Optimisation of Façade Design

    A New Approach for the Design of Building Envelopes

    by Giovanni Zemella, Andrea Faraguna ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    Optimization techniques offer immense potential for the improvement of performance-driven design, since they allow the adoption of an holistic approach. This can lead to great advantages: optimal design solutions can be properly identified only if all criteria are considered at the same time, rather than separately. There are two barriers which obstruct optimization from being applied to building ... Read more
