Global Warming: Causes, Impacts and Solutions covers all aspects of
global warming including its causes, impacts, and engineering
solutions. Energy and environment policies and strategies are
scientifically discussed to expose the best ways to reduce global
warming effects and protect the environment and energy sources
affected by human activities. The importance of green energy
consumption on the reduction of global warming, energy saving and
energy security are also discussed. This book also focuses on energy
management and conservation strategies for better utilization of
energy sources and technologies in buildings and industry as well as
ways of improving energy efficiency at the end use, and introduces
basic methods for designing and sizing cost-effective systems and
determining whether it is economically efficient to invest in specific
energy efficiency or renewable energy projects, and describes energy
audit producers commonly used to improve the energy efficiency of
residential and commercial buildings as well as industrial facilities.
These features and more provide the tools necessary to reduce global
warming and to improve energy management leading to higher energy
efficiencies. In order to reduce the negative effects of global
warming due to excessive use of fossil fuel technologies, the
following alternative technologies are introduced from the engineering
perspective: fuel cells, solar power generation technologies, energy
recovery technologies, hydrogen energy technologies, wind energy
technologies, geothermal energy technologies, and biomass energy
technologies. These technologies are presented in detail and modeling
studies including case studies can also be found in this book.
