"SEB'11 formed a welcome opportunity for researchers in subjects related to sustainability, renewable energy technology, and applications in the built environment to mix with other scientists, industrialists and stakeholders in the field.The conference featured presentations on a range of renewable energy and sustainability related topics. In addition the conference explored two innovative themes : the application of intelligent sensing, control, optimisation and modelling techniques to sustainability and the technology of sustainable buildings. These two themes combine synergetically to address issues relating to the intelligent building."

"Written by leading experts in a range of related fields, this book covers biomimetics, environmentally friendly lubrication, tribology of wind turbines and renewable sources of energy, and ecological impact of new technologies of surface treatment. "

ABSTRACTInterdisciplinary in its approach and global in its perspective, Energy Systems and Sustainability: Power for a Sustainable Future, Second Edition, provides a contemporary exploration of the economic, social, environmental, and policy issues raised by current systems of energy use. Emphasizing the important issue of sustainability, it analyzes the historical evolution of the world's energy systems, the principles underlying their use, and their present status and future prospects. Beginning with a survey of basic energy concepts, the book describes the magnitude and patterns of human energy needs at various levels. It moves on to an overview of the fossil and nuclear-fuelled energy that, together with hydroelectric power and traditional biofuels, supply most of the world's commercial energy needs. Sections on economics describe the basic methods through which the monetary costs of energy are calculated, also considering the "external" costs of energy production. Finally, the book looks at the sustainability issues associated with both fossil- and nuclear-fuel use--and considers the technological advancements and social developments that might solve these problems. Providing a truly interdisciplinary approach, Energy Systems and Sustainability: Power for a Sustainable Future, Second Edition, is ideal for undergraduate engineering students and undergraduates studying policy making.

"Inefficient energy use in buildings is both increasingly expensive and unsustainable. Indeed, the reduction of the energy consumption of existing buildings is as least as important as the design of new low-energy buildings. Controlling energy use is one thing, but it is important to assess or estimate it, and to understand the range of interventions for reducing its use and the methods for assessing the cost effectiveness of these measures. This comprehensive guide clearly and concisely covers the various issues from a theoretical standpoint and provides practical, worked examples where appropriate, along with examples of how the calculations are carried out. Topics covered include:where and how energy is used in buildings energy audits measuring and monitoring energy use techniques for reducing energy use in buildings legislative issues.It provides a template for instigating the energy management process within an organization, as well as guidance on management issues such as employee motivation, and gives practical details on how to carry it through. This book should appeal to building managers and facilities managers and also to students of energy management modules in FE and HE courses."

"Thermal energy storage technologies for sustainability is a broad-based overview describing the state-of-the-art in latent, sensible, and thermo-chemical energy storage systems and their applications across industries. Beginning with a discussion of the efficiency and conservation advantages of balancing energy demand with production, the book goes on to describe current state-of-the art technologies. Not stopping with description, the authors also discuss design, modeling, and simulation of representative systems, and end with several case studies of systems in use."

"Although fossil fuels remain the primary global energy source, developing and expanding economies are creating an ever-widening gap between supply and demand. Efficient energy management offers a cost-effective opportunity for both industrialized and developing nations to limit the enormous financial and environmental costs associated with burning fossil fuels. The implication of photovoltaic systems in particular presents the potential for clean and sustainable electrical energy to be generated from an unrestricted source. Energy management in buildings using photovoltaics demonstrates how adopting ‘best practices’ for energy management and harvesting can reduce the need to construct new generating facilities.Illustrated with figures, tables and photos, Energy management in buildings using photovoltaics provides an introduction and step by step instructions on designing and planning photovoltaic systems and energy policies for both residential and industrial buildings. With particular focus on the example of provided by European industry, the creation of energy efficient systems is explored including chapters on : zero energy buildins, photovoltaics technology, and connection of the network.;Although fossil fuels remain the primary global energy source, developing and expanding economies are creating an ever-widening gap between supply and demand.

"Semakin berkembangnya zaman, perkembangan teknologi semakin maju dan memberikan banyak manfaat di berbagai bidang. Salah satunya adalah perkembangan internet yang memiliki banyak keuntungan bagi kehidupan sehari-hari. Perkembangan teknologi tersebut dibuktikan dengan adanya layanan smart home bagi mereka yang memiliki kemampuan secara ekonomi. Di kawasan Nordik sendiri, khususnya Swedia dan Finlandia penerapan smart home ini sudah diterapkan, namun tidak semua masyarakat Swedia dan Finlandia mampu memiliki rumah impian ini. Metode penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan pengumpulan datanya menggunakan studi literature dan dijelaskan secara deskriptif. Tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk mengetahui analisa kebijakan dan Analisa keuntungan dan biaya dalam konteks energi yang terbarukan serta bagaimana implementasinya pada penggunaan smart home di Swedia dan Finlandia. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan lebih banyak keuntungannya dibandingkan besarnya biaya yang harus dikeluarkan sehingga pengimplementasian smart home sudah banyak dilakukan di Kawasan Nordic khususnya di Swedia dan Finlandia. Penerapan smart home ini dilakukan pada rumah-rumah modern dan masyarakat yang memiliki sosial ekonomi yang menengah keatas. Pengimplementasian smart home ini memberikan manfaat yang sangat banyak, contohnya adalah meminimalisir kebakaran, memperbaiki kualitas udara, mendeteksi karbon monoksida dan keamanan sistem. Pencahayaan otomatis, penguncian tanpa kunci dan pemrograman jarak jauh melalui telepon seluler menciptakan antusiasme pada masyarakat.

With the advent of the time, technological developments continue to improve and provide numerous benefits stemming from a wide range of industries. One of them is the advancement of the internet, which has numerous benefits for daily living. The emergence of smart home services exemplifies how this technological advancement affect daily activities for the adopters. While this smart home has been introduced in Nordic countries , not all citizen can afford it. This  thesis aims at analysing policies determine how the smart home is used in Sweden and Finland using a benefit-cost analysis. The study adopts qualitative research that involves  data collection through a review of the literature, interview and presented them descriptively.  The finding of this study reveal that smart home adoption has been widespread in Nordic countries particularly in Sweden and Finland. The devices  has been used in modern homes and predominantly adopted by people at the middle and upper socioeconomic classes. The adoption of this smart home deliver numerous  benefits, including fire prevention, improved air quality, carbon   monoxide detection and system security. The community was excited by automatic lighting, keyless locking and remote programming via cell phones. The thesis differentiates the nature of smart home adoption. It has challenges  for Sweden related to the relatively higher costs than the benefits it can bring whereas in Finland the benefits it higher than the cost."
