Advanced Sustainable Engineering Tools and Approaches: Trends in Technology-Based Decision Making in Modern Society covers trends in technology-based decision making in modern society. The book condenses the different scientific aspects of sustainable engineering in one single source covering the evolution of sustainable engineering. The book helps researchers in academia and industry minimize consumption of energy and natural resources (e.g., water) in their research, and enables them to apply environment-friendly processes that minimize pollution. The book discusses energy harvesting from renewables, how to reduce waste of resources, and basic ideas about sustainable engineering, including sustainable engineering indicators (e.g., economic, environmental, and social).
- Explores innovative strategies for sustainable engineering tools and approaches
