| building energy management companies: Sustainable Refurbishment Sunil Shah, 2012-07-16 Sustainable Refurbishment Governments across the EU and developed countries are increasingly being directed towards improving existing built stock as a key ingredient to meeting climate change challenges. This guide to green ‘retro-fitting’ for corporate real estate, facility managers and occupiers struggling to reduce their building’s carbon footprint will help in the planning and management of a sustainable refurbishment programme. Sustainable Refurbishment is structured into four parts: the first gives the context, together with an overview on sustainable development and refurbishment projects separately, and the value gained from a sustainable refurbishment. Part Two details the regulatory and financial drivers, together with market pressures, and provides an overview of where this is leading, giving the implications for sustainable refurbishment. Part Three provides technical support on carbon measures, helping to determine the feasibility of good practices as part of the refurbishment. Included is a review of energy efficiency, renewable and low carbon technologies and embodied carbon to enable lifecycle carbon calculations, together with the necessary behavioural change aspects needed to embed the changes. Linkages and benefits between the technologies will be highlighted. Part Four reviews refurbishment from a wider environmental perspective, understanding the challenges and opportunities that exist for particular developments from a materials, water, biodiversity and transport perspective. Throughout the book, checklists are provided on typical activities and best practice; these are expanded through relevant case studies and examples to show-case previous good practices and lessons learnt. The book’s structure allows a matrix approach, with Parts Three and Four containing the technical information necessary to deliver sustainable refurbishment. The book provides a much-needed link between policy-level commitment and detailed technical delivery. This easily digestible and authoritative review of the key issues in green retro-fitting is crucial for facilities managers; building surveyors; property managers/owners; and corporate real estate involved in sustainable refurbishment by offering the practical support needed to make it happen.

| building energy management companies: Smart Energy Control Systems for Sustainable Buildings John Littlewood, Catalina Spataru, Robert J. Howlett, Lakhmi C. Jain, 2017-05-26 There is widespread interest in the way that smart energy control systems, such as assessment and monitoring techniques for low carbon, nearly-zero energy and net positive buildings can contribute to a Sustainable future, for current and future generations. There is a turning point on the horizon for the supply of energy from finite resources such as natural gas and oil become less reliable in economic terms and extraction become more challenging, and more unacceptable socially, such as adverse public reaction to ‘fracking’. Thus, in 2016 these challenges are having a major influence on the design, optimisation, performance measurements, operation and preservation of: buildings, neighbourhoods, cities, regions, countries and continents. The source and nature of energy, the security of supply and the equity of distribution, the environmental impact of its supply and utilization, are all crucial matters to be addressed by suppliers, consumers, governments, industry, academia, and financial institutions. This book entitled ‘Smart Energy Control Systems for Sustainable Buildings’ contains eleven chapters written by international experts based on enhanced conference papers presented at the Sustainability and Energy in Buildings International conference series. This book will be of interest to University staff and students; and also industry practioners. |

| building energy management companies: Time, Talent, Energy Michael C. Mankins, Eric Garton, 2017-02-14 Managing Your Scarcest Resources Business leaders know that the key to competitive success is smart management of scarce resources. That's why companies allocate their financial capital so carefully. But capital today is cheap and abundant, no longer a source of advantage. The truly scarce resources now are the time, the talent, and the energy of the people in your organization--resources that are too often squandered. There's plenty of advice about how to manage them, but most of it focuses on individual actions. What's really needed are organizational solutions that can unleash a company's full productive power and enable it to outpace competitors. Building off of the popular Harvard Business Review article Your Scarcest Resource, Michael Mankins and Eric Garton, Bain & Company experts in organizational design and effectiveness, present new research into how you can liberate people's time, talent, and energy and unleash your organization's productive power. They identify the specific causes of organizational drag--the collection of institutional factors that slow things down, decrease output, and drain people's energy--and then offer a pragmatic framework for how managers can overcome it. With practical advice for using the framework and in-depth examples of how the best companies manage their people's time, talent, and energy with as much discipline as they do their financial capital, this book shows managers how to create a virtuous circle of high performance. |
| building energy management companies: The Green Economy and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus Robert C. Brears, 2017-08-18 This book argues that a variety of policies will be required to create synergies between the water-energy-food nexus sectors while reducing trade-offs in the development of a green economy. Despite rising demand for water, energy and food globally, the governance of water-energy-food sectors has generally remained separate with limited attention placed on the interactions that exist between them. Brears provides readers with a series of in-depth case studies of leading cities, states, nations and regions of differing climates, lifestyles and income-levels from around the world that have implemented a variety of policy innovations to reduce water-energy-food nexus pressures and achieve green growth. The Green Economy and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus will be of interest to town and regional planners, resource conservation managers, policymakers, international companies and organisations interested in reducing water-energy-food nexus pressures, environmental NGOs, researchers, graduate and undergraduate students. |
