Synopsis

Green buildings are designed to reduce their environmental impact over their entire life cycle. This book provides an overview of the principles of green building and energy-efficient systems including benefits of green buildings, the different types of green building rating systems, and the various energy-efficient systems that can be used in buildings. It includes case studies (India’s Green Building policy) of green buildings and energy-efficient systems.

• Illustrates the green building concept and approach towards green design
• Explores the role of green buildings for society and sustainability
• Describes energy-efficient HVAC and low-power IoT devices in buildings
• Discusses a design example of green buildings and quantitative figures for measurement of green buildings
• Includes technologies illustrations and applications supported by examples

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in energy and civil engineering and architecture.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Beemkumar Nagappan completed his under graduate engineering program in the domain of Mechanical Engineering from the Coimbatore Institute of Technology (CIT), Coimbatore, India, in 2004, and then completed his engineering post-graduation in the field Energy Engineering from the College of Engineering Guindy (CEG), Chennai, India. He received the Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering for the innovative research in solar thermal energy storage field from Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, India, in 2018. He has more than 16 years of teaching experience at various levels and he presently working as a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), Bengaluru, India. He was listed in the Stanford University’s top 2% scientists worldwide in 2021 and 2022. He has published more than 80 research articles in various WoS (SCI) and Scopus indexed Journals with the cumulative impact factor of 350 (As per SCI, Clarivate Analytics). He received many awards for his outstanding contribution in the research and academics. His current research interests include Thermal energy storage with nano-encapsulated PCM, methods to reduce NOx emission in bio-fuelled CI engine and solar powered refrigeration systems. He is a Life Member in various professional bodies like the Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), India.

A D Dhass

A. D. Dhass received his B.E., M.E., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Energy Engineering and Solar Energy in 2005, 2009, and 2018 respectively, from Anna University, Chennai, India. Since 2019, he has been working as Associate Professor in the Indus Institute of Technology and Engineering (IITE), Indus University, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. His areas of research include solar, heat transfer, thermoelectric generators, and phase change materials.

Gloria Pignatta

Gloria Pignatta received a Ph.D. degree in Energy Engineering from the University of Perugia, Italy, in 2016. In the same year, she was Postdoctoral Fellow at the Inter-University Research Center on Pollution and Environment “Mauro Felli" (CIRIAF), University of Perugia, Italy. From 2017 to 2018, she worked as Postdoctoral Associate and Building and Construction Expert at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), in Singapore. Since 2018, she is Scientia Lecturer (Assistant Professor) and High Performance Architecture (HPA) Research Cluster expert in the School of Built Environment, Faculty of Arts, Design and Architecture at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), Australia. She is also Investigator at the Material and Manufacturing Institute (MMFI) at UNSW. In 2021, she was nominated City Futures Research Centre (CFRC) Fellow.

She is an expert in building energy efficiency and sustainable solutions for the built environment. Her research touches on different fields, from engineering to architecture, material science, and urban climate, and aims to face the global problem of climate adaptation and mitigation, but also social challenges, such as energy inequality. She has been actively engaged in research and contributed to the knowledge and literature with more than 40 research papers, 3 books, and numerous international conference papers. Her collaboration network touches different countries: Italy, Cyprus, Greece, Denmark, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Singapore, Sweden, USA, Canada, India, and Australia.
