Handbook of Sustainable Engineering
Welcome to the homepage of Handbook of Sustainable Engineering, a comprehensive reference work from Springer.
The Handbook of Sustainable Engineering aims to provide a comprehensive reference to the practise of sustainable engineering. It will present academic research results and practical examples of successful implementation of sustainable engineering solutions. We hope to present through this work a joint platform for academicians and industry practitioners to join and help develop solutions to support sustainable development. To this end, the Handbook focusses on innovative and generally speaking small-scale engineering approaches to meet human needs and consumer demand while safe-guarding the environment and ecology at all levels. It will present academic research results and practical examples of such approaches and their successful implementation.
We invite academicians, researchers and industry practitioners to participate in this project and to contribute chapters to this Handbook on important areas, concepts, and developments in the field.
We are confident that with your participation, we will soon have a solid volume that serves academia and industry, in addition to a broader audience of opinion leaders, policy makers, social development activists, and students.
