This book addresses the main challenges faced today in implementing the Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) concept. The book starts with a chapter that addresses problems related to the energy demand and renewable energy sources available in the built environment, along with the restrictions and opportunities in developing sustainable, efficient and affordable solutions, also gaining aesthetic and architectural acceptance. Advanced solutions to cover the energy needs by using various renewable-based energy mixes are presented in two chapters. These two chapters discuss the problem of conversion efficiency at the level of components and systems, aiming at giving value to the variable renewable energy sources, in producing thermal and electric energy. The concept is discussed further in a chapter on advanced solutions for water re-use and recycling wastes as second raw materials. The need for new strategies and implementation tools, for education and training is addressed in the final chapter as part of the nZEB concept, towards sustainable communities. The sub-chapters of the book were openly presented during the 4th Edition of the Conference for Sustainable Energy, held 6-8 November, 2014, and organized by the R&D Centre Renewable Energy Systems and Recycling at the Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania. This event was developed under the patronage of the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science (IFToMM), through the Technical Committee Sustainable Energy Systems.

La qualité environnementale d'un bâtiment est à la fois une préoccupation majeure et une contrainte qu'il faut intégrer dans le processus de conception. À ce titre, la notion cycle de vie est fondamentale. Cet ouvrage permet d'acquérir et de mettre en pratique la méthodologie de l'éco-conception dans le bâtiment à travers 5 dossiers : • Développement durable et éco-conception : méthodologie, cadre d'application, outils associés, principales réglementations. • Impacts environnementaux : déinition et caractérisation. • Analyse du cycle de vie et communication environnementale : collecte et analyse des données, et valorisation à travers la certification. • Intégration de l'environnement dans la conception du bâtiment : choix des matériaux, management environnemental, évaluation de l'empreinte environnementale. • Construction responsable : recommandations, performance énergétique, habitat durable et éco-quartiers. Découpé en 37 fiches-outils et traité de façon synthétique et pratique, il s'adresse aux professionnels du bâtiment (architectes, bureaux d'études, maîtres d'oeuvre, maîtres d'ouvrages, entrepreneurs), ainsi qu'aux étudiants qui se spécialisent dans la conception, le bâtiment ou l'analyse du cycle de vie.

This book on pressure-induced phase transitions in AB2X4 chalcogenide compounds deals with one important AmBnXp material. The interest in these materials is caused by their properties. The results are discussed for three main groups of structural families: cubic-spinel structures, defective tetragonal structures, and other structures like layered and wurtzite-type modifications. A systematic analysis of the behavior of cubic (spinel), tetragonal (defect chalcopyrites and stannites) and other crystal modifications of AB2X4 compounds under hydrostatic pressure is performed. The behavior of AIIAl2S4, AIIGa2S4, AIIAl2Se4 and AIIGa2Se4 compounds with defective tetragonal structures, compounds with layered and wurtzite structures under hydrostatic pressure and the pressure dependence of the band gap, lattice parameters, interatomic distances, vibrational modes and pressure-induced phase transitions is discussed. Many of these compounds,  except oxide spinels, undergo a pressure-induced phase transition towards the rocksalt-type structure. The phase transition is preceded by disorder in the cation sublattice. The dependence of the transition pressure to the rocksalt-type structure as a function of the compound ionicity and the size criterion is analyzed.  At high pressures, all ordered-vacancy compounds are found to exhibit a band anticrossing between several conduction bands that leads to a strong decrease of its pressure coefficient and consequently to a strong non-linear pressure dependence of the direct bandgap energy. Theoretical studies of phase transitions in several ordered-vacancy compounds reveal that the existence of ordered vacancies alter the cation-anion bond distances and their compressibilities. The book is written for students, Ph D. students and specialists in materials science, phase transitions and new materials.
