"Modern Architecture and Climate explores how leading architects of the twentieth century incorporated climate-mediating strategies into their designs, and shows how regional approaches to climate adaptability were essential to the development of modern architecture. Focusing on the period surrounding World War II-before fossil-fuel powered air-conditioning became widely available-Daniel Barber brings to light a vibrant and dynamic architectural discussion involving design, materials, and shading systems as means of interior climate control. He looks at projects by well-known architects such as Richard Neutra, Le Corbusier, Lúcio Costa, Mies van der Rohe, and Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, and the work of climate-focused architects such as MMM Roberto, Olgyay and Olgyay, and Cliff May. Drawing on the editorial projects of James Marston Fitch, Elizabeth Gordon, and others, he demonstrates how images and diagrams produced by architects helped conceptualize climate knowledge, alongside the work of meteorologists, physicists, engineers, and social scientists. Barber describes how this novel type of environmental media catalyzed new ways of thinking about climate and architectural design. Extensively illustrated with archival material, Modern Architecture and Climate provides global perspectives on modern architecture and its evolving relationship with a changing climate, showcasing designs from Latin America, Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Africa. This timely and important book reconciles the cultural dynamism of architecture with the material realities of ever-increasing carbon emissions from the mechanical cooling systems of buildings, and offers a historical foundation for today's zero-carbon design"-- ǂc Provided by publisher.

Geothermal energy is a renewable, sustainable, and ecologically friendly resource of energy that can be captured with shallow or deep installations, or a combination of both—alone or integrated with other technologies. It can then be employed for a variety of purposes, for example, electricity generation, space heating and cooling, agriculture, and aquaculture. Given the nature/features of this green energy resource—such as being a local, climate-independent, potentially constant, robust, generally available, resilient, almost greenhouse gas-free, and long-lived energy source—geothermal solutions can and should make a more prominent contribution to the future global energy supply mix, in addition to helping lessen humanity’s environmental footprint and enabling it to attain its sustainable development goals. This Special Issue, “New Trends in Enhanced, Hybrid and Integrated Geothermal Systems”, addresses existing knowledge gaps and aids advance deployment of geothermal energy globally. It consists of eight peer-reviewed papers that cover a range of subjects and applications related to geothermal energy.

Technology: general issues --- tri-generation --- off-design analysis --- ammonia-water solution --- geothermal --- flexible demand production --- optimization --- standing column well (SCW) --- thermal response test --- effective thermal conductivity --- bleeding rate --- thermal conductivity --- balancing well --- coefficient of performance (COP) --- ground heat exchanger --- 3D simulation --- finned U-tube --- external fin --- internal fin --- dynamic simulation --- conventional geothermal --- direct heat use --- Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin --- bottomhole temperatures --- Alberta --- well-doublet system --- sustainability --- disequilibrium --- thermomechanical effects --- chemical coupling --- climate change --- heat transfer --- granite fracture --- flow direction --- enhanced geothermal system --- renewable energy --- geothermal energy --- mature oilfield --- abandoned hydrocarbon well --- wellbore heat exchanger --- Pannonian basin --- geothermal cascade use --- energy efficiency --- wellness and spa facilities --- balneology --- bioclimatic architecture --- passive design strategies --- modular building --- tri-generation --- off-design analysis --- ammonia-water solution --- geothermal --- flexible demand production --- optimization --- standing column well (SCW) --- thermal response test --- effective thermal conductivity --- bleeding rate --- thermal conductivity --- balancing well --- coefficient of performance (COP) --- ground heat exchanger --- 3D simulation --- finned U-tube --- external fin --- internal fin --- dynamic simulation --- conventional geothermal --- direct heat use --- Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin --- bottomhole temperatures --- Alberta --- well-doublet system --- sustainability --- disequilibrium --- thermomechanical effects --- chemical coupling --- climate change --- heat transfer --- granite fracture --- flow direction --- enhanced geothermal system --- renewable energy --- geothermal energy --- mature oilfield --- abandoned hydrocarbon well --- wellbore heat exchanger --- Pannonian basin --- geothermal cascade use --- energy efficiency --- wellness and spa facilities --- balneology --- bioclimatic architecture --- passive design strategies --- modular building

This book introduces and provides solutions to a variety of problems faced by society, companies and individuals in a quickly changing and technology-dependent world. The wide acceptance of artificial intelligence, the upcoming fourth industrial revolution and newly designed 6G technologies are seen as the main enablers and game changers in this environment. The book considers these issues not only from a technological viewpoint but also on how society, labor and the economy are affected, leading to a circular economy that affects the way people design, function and deploy complex systems.
