Electrochromic materials are able to change their optical properties in a persistent and reversible way under the action of a voltage pulse. This book explores electrochromism among the metal oxides, with detailed discussions of materials preparation (primarily by thin film technology), materials characterization by (electro)chemical and physical techniques, optical properties, electrochromic device design, and device performance. The vast quantity of information presented is structured in a systematic manner and the optical data is interpreted within a novel conceptual framework. The public

The fact that the average global temperature has increased by 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels is the reason why major climate changes like heat waves and flash flooding events are now irreversible. We can see the impact of climate change with record breaking temperatures of (49.6°C) in Canada, and the scale of floods in Germany that destroyed thousands of homes killing many people. The Chinese city of Zhengzhou also witnessed a year's worth of rain in just 3 days. The adaptation of the built environment to this new climatic reality is therefore an urgent issue that needs to be addressed. Adapting the Built Environment for Climate Change : Design Principles for Climate Emergencies provides a framework through analysis of scenarios and proposes various adaptation strategies for climate emergencies. Divided into three themes the book offers an organized vision of a complex and multifactor challenge. It covers climatic resilience and building refurbishment, implications for service life prediction and maintainability, and climate adaptation in maintenance and management of buildings; infrastructure materials and climate emergency adaptation; and building adaptation to heat waves and flash flooding events. This book will be an essential reference resource for civil and structural engineers, architects, planners and designers, and other professionals with an interest in adaptation of the built environment against climate change.

Climate change is one of the most important environmental problems faced by Planet Earth. The majority of CO2 emissions come from burning fossil fuels for energy production and improvements in energy efficiency shows the greatest potential for any single strategy to abate global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the energy sector. Energy related emissions account for almost 80% of the EU's total greenhouse gas emissions. The building sector is the largest energy user responsible for about 40% of the EU's total final energy consumption. In Europe the number of installed air conditioning sys.

The recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) was adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on 19 May 2010. For new buildings, the recast fixes 2020 as the deadline for all new buildings to be “nearly zero energy” (and even sooner for public buildings – by the end of 2018). This book gives practitioner an important tool to tackle the challenges of building refurbishment towards nearly zero energy. This book is welcome at this time and sets the scene for professionals whether practitioners or researchers to learn more about how we can make whether old or new buildings more efficient and effective in terms of energy performance. .
