Springer London (Verlag)
978-1-4471-4781-7 (ISBN)
Climate change is believed to be a great challenge to built environment professionals in design and management. An integrated approach in delivering a sustainable built environment is desired by the built environment professional institutions. The aim of this book is to provide an advanced understanding of the key subjects required for the design and management of modern built environments to meet carbon emission reduction targets.
In Design and Management of Sustainable Built Environments, an international group of experts provide comprehensive and the most up-to-date knowledge, covering sustainable urban and building design, management and assessment. The best practice case studies of the implementation of sustainable technology and management from the BRE Innovation Park are included.
Design and Management of Sustainable Built Environments will be of interest to urban and building designers, environmental engineers, and building performance assessors. It will be particularly useful as a reference book for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the built environment field.
Runming Yao is a Reader in Sustainable Built Environment and Head of Innovative Sustainable Technology group at the School of Construction Management and Engineering at the University of Reading and Visiting Professor of Chongqing University in China. She is a Fellow of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), Fellow of Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and member of the American Society of Heating Refrigerating Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). She has broad interests in sustainability of the built environment including energy in buildings; building environmental performance assessment; thermal comfort and wellbeing; occupants' behaviour; intelligent energy management and control, and low carbon eco-cities. She is the founder and current course director of the Design and Management of Sustainable Built Environment Master's programme at the University of Reading.
