Systems Analysis for Sustainable Engineering: Theory and Applications

IMPLEMENT SYSTEMS ANALYSIS TOOLS IN SUSTAINABLE ENGINEERINGFeaturing 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 designSystems analysis and sustainable management strategiesEcomomic valuation, instruments, and project selectionStatistical forecasting modelsLinear, nonlinear, integer, and dynamic programming modelsMulticriteria decision analysesSystem dynamics models and simulation analysesWater resources and quality managementAir quality managementSolid waste managementSoil and groundwater remediation planningIndustrial ecology and sustainabilityGreen building and green infrastructure systemsEnergy resources management and energy systems engineeringLand resources management and agricultural sustainability
