Sustainable Development Handbook, 2nd Edition
The Fairmont Press, Aug 2010, Pages: 478
Now available in its fully updated second edition, this important reference provides a thorough examination of recent and ongoing developments, as well as current trends in all areas of the growing field of sustainable development. Sustainable development is a concept that incorporates energy, urban management, environmental objectives, policy integration, and the idea that effective solutions can be achieved in a cooperative manner with concerted effort.
Gaining momentum on the world stage in recent years, sustainable development is beginning to significantly redefine the policies and decision making of both corporations and governmental entities. Sustainable development initiatives can vary widely in both scope and application, as well as in success.
This book is intended to clarify critical issues, proven approaches and potential pitfalls associated with such initiatives, covering underlying concepts, renewable energy solutions, environmental issues, green design and LEED® programs, sustainable industrial processes, sustainable development policy considerations, local government programs, corporate programs, tracking results, and future trends. This second edition includes complete updates on measurement and verification for LEED projects, as well as a new chapter on cities and carbon reduction.
