Nachhaltige Immobilien werden im Vergleich zu konventionellen Gebauden langfristig Marktstandard sein. Wer da nicht mit macht, hat schon verloren." (Jones Lang LaSalle, 2008). Immobilien in den Bereichen Energie, Wasser und Material ressourcenschonend zu errichten und zu betreiben, muss der Grundsatz von Eigentumern, Investoren und Nutzern gleichermassen sein. Die Auswirkungen auf die Folgekosten, die Umwelt und den Mensch werden in der Planung von Gebauden massgeblich beeinflusst und sind daher langfristig anzusetzen. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit nachhaltiger Bauweise unter...

Photovoltaic systems
ISBN: 9783639337983 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The energy yield of a PV module decreases with rising cell temperatures. Since the cell temperature of a PV module is normally higher than the ambient temperature the loss due to the effect of temperature can be considerable. This work analyses possible methods to decrease the solar cell temperature. Two methods were studied theoretically and the more practical solution was implemented and tested in field conditions. The first idea was to cool the PV module with water flowing through a tube on the rear surface. The second idea was the application of aluminium fins on the PV modules...

Valuing biological diversity in Chile
ISBN: 9783639340266 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The economic valuation of non-market goods and services is an important issue in the field of environmental economics. However, few scientists have actually applied empirical valuation methods in Latin America. This research shows an application of a Stated Preference Technique, namely a Choice Experiment to value biological diversity services of Navarino island, Southern Patagonia, Chile, in the context where the values are not reflected in market processes. The specific focus of the investigation are direct and indirect use and existence values. Local residents favoured a low impact...

ISBN: 9783639341461 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over past many years considerable efforts have been made to integrate Life Cycle Assessment in environmental policies. Though it has been years now but still most of the studies are focussed on the sophisticated scientific methodologies of LCA; while very few contributions analyze the actual acceptability and adoption of LCA by the industry. This study has focussed on the effectiveness of such decision making tools for the industry, especially the electronics industry where the need to understand the applicability of such tools becomes even more inevitable, considering its global...

ISBN: 9783642085123 / Angielski / Miękka / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Environmental Chemistry is a relatively young science. Interest in this subject, however, is growing very rapidly and, although no agreement has been reached as yet about the exact content and limits of this interdisciplinary discipline, there appears to be increasing interest in seeing environmental topics which are based on chemistry embodied in this subject. One of the first objectives of Environ mental Chemistry must be the study of the environment and of natural chemical processes which occur in the environment. A major purpose of this series on Environmental Chemistry, therefore, is to...
