Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering

Latent Heat Storage for Energy-Efficient Buildings and Zero-Carbon Communities serves as an up-to-date reference guide on the rapid progress the field is experiencing while keeping up with the much-required transformative initiatives to improve buildings' energy performance worldwide. To lay the foundations, the book opens with coverage of the fundamentals of phase-change materials, including their thermo-physical properties, nanoscale thermal transport mechanisms, encapsulation techniques, and heat transfer enhancement methods. It goes on to explore the integration of latent heat storage solutions in building envelopes or solar photovoltaics and heating/cooling systems, using mathematical models and performance analysis to discuss thermal management aspects for net-zero energy buildings and zero-carbon community concepts. The volume then delves into practical application of the most advanced, artificial intelligence-powered tools for system modeling and simulation, demand-side management control strategies, and metaheuristic optimization approaches. It finally concludes with an overview of technical challenges and emerging research areas which evidence academic and industry communities’ persistent interest in the future directions of topics interconnected with the sustainable development of the built environment.

World Scientific Series On The Built Environment

Urban Management is about managing cities in uncertain times. The book covers the urbanization process, the urban challenges, the benefits of cities, and the scope of urban management. The latter includes urban planning, capital investment programs, local economic development, housing, urban service delivery, public utilities, social services, general urban services, transport, and asset management. This book focuses on the general principles of urban management, particularly in developing countries. It uses the CSGG framework -- institutional capacity, scope of urban management, goals of urban management, and governance -- for urban management.In this second edition, the chapters have been reorganized, revised, and expanded to include many case studies. There are new chapters on capital investment programs and asset management. The latter contains many topics on asset management, including strategic asset management, asset-light business models, maintenance principles and technologies, and the use of more recent technologies such as drones, Lidar, and satellite radar systems to monitor asset conditions and respond to emergencies.The book will be of interest to practitioners and students in the built environment, including mayors, urban managers, urban planners, developers, lenders, insurers, architects, engineers, project managers, and other consultants, contractors, and suppliers.

Urban Management: Managing Cities In Uncertain Times

This book presents the first wide-ranging investigation of contemporary architectural replicas as a global phenomenon. Presenting case studies from Dresden's new Altstadt to representations of KhoiSan culture in South Africa, and from the recent wave of revivalism in Turkey to the nostalgia of 'modern traditional architecture' in China - each chapter is written by an expert in each relevant context, interpreting in detail what a particular replica stands for in an accessible way, and revealing how replicas function in a range of cultural contexts, trading on the nuances of local cultures, markets, politics, and nationalisms. These case studies explain how the construction of architectural replicas has, in the first decades of the 21st century, become more widespread and more highly-charged in a time of resurgent populism and nationalism worldwide. Employing selective ideas of the past, replica architectures are used to construct the self-image of states, cultures, organisations or powerful individuals in the present, often operating in service of radically conservative agendas or ideologies. With an introduction showing this wider context to replicas in architectural history, this collection further reveals how architectural traditions - both national and global - get claimed for identity-building projects by nations, cultures, corporations, and individuals, and provides valuable and topical insights for architectural historians as well as those in heritage studies and cultural studies.

Design Research in Architecture

Drawing together writings, drawings, and photographs produced over the past decade, this volume focuses specifically on the issue of contemporary land value, availability and use as the fundamental condition determining architectural production and, in particular, housing. Presenting a series of comparative proposals by PdAA for 7 housing/ mixed-use developments in the UK, it provides detailed, comparative examples of designs for the making of humane and generous dwelling environments, incorporating opportunities for social interaction, individual self-expression, and equable coexistence which acknowledges the cultural difference and diversity typical of contemporary society.
