This book introduces the broad engineering concepts, relevant physiological principles and environmental parameters, and demonstrates, in a step-by-step approach, how the controlled environment engineering knowledge can be put in use in designing plant, animal, and aquatic bioenvironmental systems.
This integrated book introduces broad engineering concepts and relevant physiological principles and environmental parameters, and demonstrates, in a step-by-step approach, how the controlled environment engineering knowledge can be put in use in designing plant, animal, and aquatic bioenvironmental systems. It covers integrated energy and waste management approaches and clean energy technologies, including real-world case studies and complete design examples with the state-of-the-art technologies and updated material globally.
- Provides exclusive material on plant, animal, and aquatic systems engineering, and relevant waste management systems in a single book
- Introduces broad engineering concepts, relevant physiological principles, and environmental parameters
- Incorporates a design, and integrated energy and waste management approach
- Demonstrates how the controlled environment engineering knowledge can be put in use in designing plant, animal, and aquatic production facilities
- Include number of calculations and controlled environment design examples including homework problems
