Sustainable Energy in the Built Environment - Steps Towards nZEB
This book addresses the main challenges faced today in implementing the Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) concept. The book starts with a chapter that addresses problems related to the energy demand and renewable energy sources available in the built environment, along with the restrictions and opportunities in developing sustainable, efficient and affordable solutions, also gaining aesthetic and architectural acceptance. Advanced solutions to cover the energy needs by using various renewable-based energy mixes are presented in two chapters. These two chapters discuss the problem of conversion efficiency at the level of components and systems, aiming at giving value to the variable renewab...
Energy Policy Design in the Eastern Mediterranean Basin
This book explores energy consumption and thermal comfort in the social housing sector in the Eastern Mediterranean basin. This book presents a novel methodological framework for the optimisation of post-war social housing developments in the Eastern Mediterranean climate. The authors draw on semi-structured interviews to present evidence on in situ thermal sensation and provide the results of walk-through and walk-in thermographic surveys to highlight building-fabric performance and highlight anomalies in the building envelopes. The authors go on to show how this data-informed retrofit design solution can be applied to reduce household energy consumption, increase awareness of domestic ener...
Den tatoverede cirkel - 2
En ung mand bliver skudt og dræbt i Stockholms Gamla stan. Kajsa Nordin er tilfældigvis i nærheden og bliver den første betjent på gerningsstedet. Sammen med sin tidligere kollega Christian Modig begynder Kajsa at grave i sagen, og de opdager et særligt kendetegn på den dræbte: en tatoveret cirkel på indersiden af håndleddet. Sporet fører til den verdensberømte kunstner Zeta, der har en tatovering magen til. Via Zeta bliver Kajsa og Modig inddraget i et virvar af løgne, hemmelige selskaber og risikable eventyr. Og Kajsa har svært ved at afgøre, om Zeta virkelig vil hjælpe dem med at opklare drabet, eller om hun har sin helt egen agenda ... Susan Casserfelt har skrevet en nervepirrende psykologisk spændingsroman. Glæd dig til de næste bøger i serien om politibetjenten Kajsa og den excentriske kunster Zeta. Serien er på fire bind: ”Præstens lille pige”, ”Den tatoverede cirkel”, ”I betragterens øje” og ”Tusind grader celsius”.
Soft Computing Applications
These volumes constitute the Proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Soft Computing Applications, or SOFA 2014, held on 24-26 July 2014 in Timisoara, Romania. This edition was organized by the University of Belgrade, Serbia in conjunction with Romanian Society of Control Engineering and Technical Informatics (SRAIT) - Arad Section, The General Association of Engineers in Romania - Arad Section, Institute of Computer Science, Iasi Branch of the Romanian Academy and IEEE Romanian Section. The Soft Computing concept was introduced by Lotfi Zadeh in 1991 and serves to highlight the emergence of computing methodologies in which the accent is on exploiting the tolerance for imprecision an...

Sov du lille
Cilla och Rolf Börjlind formår endnu en gang at forene en bidende samfundskritik med et stærkt persongalleri og blændende spænding. Efteråret 2015. Den internationale flygtningekrise har ramt Europa, og banegården i Stockholm er ét stort kaos. Blandt de mange nytilkomne er den uledsagede nigerianske pige Folami. Hun er blevet advaret mod at tage kontakt til de svenske myndigheder og hutler sig gennem tilværelsen på gaden, da hun bliver hjulpet af en tidligere hjemløs og misbruger, Muriel. Sammen søger de tilflugt i en lille hytte i de skånske skove. Men lokalsamfundet er ikke ligefrem begejstret for de nye fremmede, og da frygten fører til vold, beder Muriel sin gamle ven, kriminalkomissær Tom Stilton om hjælp. Sammen med drabsefterforsker Olivia Rönning er han opslugt af en makaber mordsag, hvor en udenlandsk dreng er blevet fundet i en skov med halsen skåret over. Sagen trækker tråde til den rumænske underverden, og da de finder endnu to børnelig, kommer Folami pludselig i søgelyset, da hun og en af de myrdede bærer identiske smykker. Sov du lille er fjerde bind i serien om det umage makkerpar Olivia Rönning og Tom Stilton.
Handbook of Retrofitting High Density Residential Buildings
This book investigates energy use and measures to improve the energy efficiency of public housing, using post-war social housing development estates in Cyprus as its example. On this Mediterranean island, which experiences hot and humid temperatures throughout the year, residential buildings need to adapt to the climate to improve the thermal comfort of their occupants. The book assesses the domestic energy use of inefficiently built residential tower blocks and their occupants’ thermal comfort by considering the significant impact of overheating risks on energy consumption and occupants’ thermal comfort and well-being, with the intention of evaluating the current energy performance of base-case representative residential tower blocks (RTBs). In particular, considering the cooling energy demand in the summer, using Famagusta, Cyprus as a case study. It seeks to identify the impact of occupancy patterns and habitual adaptive behaviour of households on home energy performance in order to provide bases for the information needed to calibrate building energy performance of targeted households.
Sustainable Innovation
The most important theme of the discourse on sustainable development and sustainability challenges concerns the relationship between innovation and sustainability. This book represents a realistic critical overview of the state of affairs of sustainable innovations, offering an accessible and comprehensive diagnostic point of reference for both the academic and practitioner worlds. In order for sustainable innovation to truly become mainstream practice in business it is necessary to find out how organizations can strategically and efficiently accommodate sustainability and innovation in such a manner that they accomplish value capturing (for firms, stakeholders, and for society), not merely ...
Nonmarket Strategic Management
Strategic management has traditionally concerned itself with delivering objectives based on an assessment of resources and the market environment. However, there are many actors considered ‘outside’ the firm that inevitably shape the dynamics within the market. Nonmarket strategies entail social, political, and legal arrangements that reinforce or enable market strategies, providing a comprehensive approach to improving performance and gaining a competitive advantage. This book introduces nonmarket strategic management within these contexts. Divided into two parts, the first part offers theories and managerial support for coping with the complex business realities surrounded by social, political and legal spheres; the second part presents examples of the challenges firms in the nonmarket environment. These examples show how firms can strategically manage and work with social, political and regulatory stakeholders to achieve their goals. Written by two leading scholars in the area, this book is essential reading for business students, managers and leaders.
