متن کاملSustainable Development vs Environmental Engineering: Energy Issues
Man can't live without environment, one with some strictly specified parameters. Despite this known truth, the relation between man and environment is far from peaceful coexistence. From history's point of view, it can be noticed that mankind have repeatedly caused environmental disasters. At first those were purely local. The primitive nomad usually moved elsewhere in the face of an ecological...
متن کاملSustainable engineering triggers advancements in engineering modeling
The push for greener, sustainable design is universal. Whether it’s in the cars we drive or where we get our energy for our houses, green design has left the periphery of modern engineering and is now a dominant influence in contemporary engineering, often even the most important factor. In essence, sustainable design is designing to do more with less. The green road, however, is turning out to...
