Energy : a reasonable mix? / Graham T Reader -- Energy supply and consumption in senegal / Bertrand Tchanche -- Hydrogen as an energy vector : present and future / Bernardo Llamas, Javier Garciat, Marcelo F Ortega Romero, Isabel Amez, M Belen Vallespir Jimenez -- V-shaped roughened geometries and their effect on heat transfer and friction factor in solar air heater / Atul Lanjewar and Sumer Singh Patel -- Retrofitting aging tall and supertall buildings : a continuing challenge / Kheir M Al-Kodmany -- Energy efficiency as a function of changing building form in sustainable rural architecture / Şefika Ergin, Kemal Çorapçioğlu, Figen Balo -- Sustaining our air and water / Peter Brimblecombe -- "Living" coastal protection and nearshore biodiversity reclamation / Loke Ming Chou -- Transitioning towards sustainable development through the water-energy-food nexus / Luxon Nhamo, Sylvester Mpandeli, Aidan Senzanje, Stanley Liphadzi, Dhesigen Naidoo, Albert T Modi, Tafadzwanashe Mabhaudhi.
"We cannot continue on a business-as-usual, carbon fuel dependent mode of operation, because the consequences of doing so are catching up with us. So, what must we do to ensure there is a tomorrow? In this book, experts from around the world come together to shed light on what we can do to preserve and expand resources key to the survival of human civilization -- from the state-of-the-art of innovative engineering; to the latest status on energy, energy mix, and advancements in renewable energy -- including the complementary energy storage using hydrogen; or innovative architecture for more sustainable buildings, including retrofitting of aging tall buildings; innovative ways to improve our air, water and coastline with nearshore biodiversity reclamation; to the subject of sustainable development through the water-energy-food nexus. This volume is recommended for research and graduate courses on energy and sustainability, and policymakers interested in the subjects"--Provided by publisher.
