Considerable developments are now under way in many technical aspects of energy efficiency from general equipment and appliances to building design. Featuring most of the papers presented at the First International Conference on Sustainable Energy, Planning and Technology in Relationship to the Environment (Energy and the Environment), this book covers a whole range of technological and policy issues on power generation, transmission, energising materials, energy efficiency, and waste and pollution. The following sections are included: energy and environment; energy resources management; energy markets and policy; renewable energy resources; alternative energy sources; energy efficiency in buildings; industrial energy issues; transportation energy reduction and losses; energy computer modelling; and data management.
Section 1 Energy and environment: Environmental impact of energy consumption in Belgium - past, present and future; Integrated strategic assessment of local energy systems for reducing environmental burdens; Environmentally-conscious design and Life Cycle Assessment; Recycling and processing of waste: possibilities and perspectives; An adsorption/reaction process for the purification of biogas prior to its use as energy vector; Generation of a reduced temperature year as an input data for building climatization purposes - an application for Palermo (Italy); Trace metals in Lolium perenne L. grown on soil treated with ashes from a biomass incinerator. Section 2 Energy resources management: Towards sustainability: reducing energy consumption and carbon emission footprints - examples and lessons learned from Potchefstroom, a medium sized African city; Energy management using genetic algorithms. Section 3 Energy markets and policy: Energy law and environmental protection in South Africa; Benchmarking of energy use in Belgium; Fuelwood availability and consumption in a semi-arid savanna, Zimbabwe. Section 4 Renewable energy resources: Promoting renewables - which support scheme gets the green light in the internal market?; The effect of surface reflectance distributions on average daylight factor values in atrium buildings; Technology assessment system of seawater desalination by means of renewable energy sources to supply rural arid-coastal zones of Baja California, Mexico. Section 5 Alternative energy sources: Short contact time reactors for hydrogen production; Anaerobic digestion of animal waste - effect of mixing. Section 6 Energy efficiency in buildings: Business models and technical architectures for an advanced energy management combined with IT services at the residential level - The COGENVAD initiative; Cooling of buildings - energy efficiency improvement through ventilated structures; Economic and environmental impacts of efficient air conditioning in Thailand; Greening the school park: energy and environmental rehabilitation of a nursery school in Palermo; Transparent insulating materials - experimental data and buildings energy saving evaluation; Performance of solar-assisted hybrid air-conditioning liquid desiccant system in Beirut.
