商品簡介
Franchetti (mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing engineering, U. of Toledo) and Apul (civil engineering, U. of Toledo) note that the consequences of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are changing the environmental, political, and social landscape, particularly as researchers have connected the emissions with global warming, changing weather patterns, pollution, and the extinction of species. The author's intent here is to provide a comprehensive text on carbon footprint management. The book's four sections cover why carbon footprint analysis and reduction is so important, analysis methods, a systems approach to project implementation, and illustrative case studies.
