Produktbeschreibung

IMPLEMENT SYSTEMS ANALYSIS TOOLS IN SUSTAINABLE ENGINEERING
Featuring a multidisciplinary approach, Systems Analysis for Sustainable Engineering: Theory and Applications provides a proven framework for applying systems analysis tools to account for environmental impacts, energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, socioeconomic implications, and ecosystem health in engineering solutions.
This pioneering work addresses the increased levels of sophistication embedded in many complex large-scale infrastructure systems and their interactions with the natural environment. After a detailed overview of sustainable systems engineering, the book covers mathematical theories of systems analysis, environmental resources management, industrial ecology, and sustainable design. Real-world examples highlight the methodologies presented in this authoritative resource.
COVERAGE INCLUDES:
Structured systems analysis for sustainable design
Systems analysis and sustainable management strategies
Ecomomic valuation, instruments, and project selection
Statistical forecasting models
Linear, nonlinear, integer, and dynamic programming models
Multicriteria decision analyses
System dynamics models and simulation analyses
Water resources and quality management
