Books by Keyword: Energy Saving

Description: This volume is a special issue with the aim to disseminate knowledge on research studies, projects, processes and methodologies carried out by academics, researchers and expert professionals on issues involving various scales: from the object to the building, to the city, to the landscape, to the processes. The authors' contributions address contemporary issues identifying a new empathetic approach to architecture and design, providing insights on issues including: systemic-relational design, biocomposites, innovative lighting systems, challenges for addressing global warming and pollution, trends of 3D printing for architecture, innovation for medical devices. All the themes are described from an ecological-environmental, aesthetic-functional and economic-social point of view.

Description: This edition presents papers from the 1st International Conference on Material, Machines and Methods for Sustainable Development (MMMS 2018, 18-19 May 2018, Danang, Vietnam) that reflect the state-of-the-art in the field of materials sciences and mechanical engineering. The contents of manuscripts from authors representing universities, research institutes, and industrial companies demonstrate the results of the very wide spectrum of research, from micro-nano material design and processing to the application material, the mechanical engineering technology in the industry. The largest number of the papers answer the vital question of how to obtain the advanced properties and technologies required of final task and products by the way of the verifications and selections of the process and control parameters. Other important problems of new special materials are also covered by several researchers. A large group of papers focuses on material modeling as well as the material technologies processes and mechanical manufacturing.

Description:

Development of the material-technological base in the field of architecture and  construction is progressing faster than in the previous periods. Based on the potential of new materials and technologies, it is possible to create advanced architecture and engineering building systems. Integration of advanced materials, technologies and construction systems creates a high-quality architectural construction with optimum performance in the presence as well as in the future. Nevertheless, improper application of high quality materials in the wrong environment may cause a defect.
