Energy Resources and Conservation Related to Built Environment is a collection of papers that discusses energy resources, energy conservation schemes, better structure design or construction, and alternative energy resources. Some papers discuss energy conscious design methodologies for townhouses, use of composite components in structural framing, and also energy and physical planning of houses. One paper explains the process and techniques of the water/energy manual developed as part of the Water/Energy Conservation Project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. Building site selection, window design, energy auditing, boiler efficiency, and power factor correcting capacitors help in preserving energy; at the same time, these also provide thermal comfort. Alternative energy sources include small scale tidal energy generation, airtight woodstoves, wind energy, methane recovery, and hybrid energy systems. Other papers discuss case studies in energy and design, such as the utilization of the Hittman methodology in Boulder, Colorado; the student-performed energy audits done in Minneapolis and Minnesota; and the energy performance of New Zealand's built environment. The collection is beneficial to environmentalists, civil or structural engineers, architects as well as researchers whose works are related with energy conservation and production.
