Handbook of Sustainable Development Through Green Engineering and Technology by Bali, Vikram; Mohana, Rajni; Elngar, Ahmed A.;

Short description:

This handbook focuses on Sustainable Development through Green Engineering and Technology and is intended to address the applications and issues involved in their practical implementation.

Long description:

Green engineering involves the designing, innovation, and commercialization of products and processes which promote sustainability without eliminating both efficiency and economic viability. This handbook focuses on sustainable development through green engineering and technology. It is intended to address the applications and issues involved in their practical implementation.

A new range of renewable-energy technologies, modified to provide green engineering, will be described in this handbook. It will explore all green technologies required to provide green engineering for the future.These include, but are not limited to, green smart buildings, fuel-efficient transportation, paperless offices, and many more energy-efficient measures.

Handbook of Sustainable Development through Green Engineering and Technology acts as a comprehensive reference book to use when identifying development for programs and sustainable initiatives within the current legislative framework. It aims to be of great interest to researchers, faculty members, and students across the globe.
