Implement Systems AnalhysisTools in Sustainable Engineering
Featuring a multidisciplinary approach, Systems Analysis for Sustainable Engineering : Theory and Applications provides a proven framework for applying systems analysis tools to account for environmental impacts, energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, socioeconomic implications, and ecosystem health in engineering solutions.
This pioneering work addresses the increased levels of sophistication embedded in many complex large-scale infrastructure systems and their interactions with the natural environment. After a detailed overview of sustainable systems engineering, the book covers mathematical theories of systems analysis, environmental resources management, industrial ecology, and sustainable design. Real-world examples highlight the methodologies presented in this authoritative resource.
Coverage Includes :
• Structured systems analysis for sustainable design
• Systems analysis and sustainable management strategies
• Ecomomic valuation, instruments, and project selection
• Statistical forecasting models
• Linear, nonlinear, integer, and dynamic programming models
• Multicriteria decision analyses
• System dynamics models and simulation analyses
• Water resources and quality management
• Air quality management
• Solid waste management
• Soil and groundwater remediation planning
• Industrial ecology and sustainability
• Green building and green infrastructure systems
• Energy resources management and energy systems engineering
• Land resources management and agricultural sustainability
