Book Description: Taylor Francis Ltd, United States, 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 246 x 189 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Whole System Design is increasingly being seen as one of the most cost-effective ways to both increase the productivity and reduce the negative environmental impacts of an engineered system. A focus on design is critical, as the output from this stage of the project locks in most of the economic and environmental performance of the designed system throughout its life, which can span from a few years to many decades. Indeed, it is now widely acknowledged that all designers - particularly engineers, architects and industrial designers - need to be able to understand and implement a whole system design approach. This book provides a clear design methodology, based on leading efforts in the field, and is supported by worked examples that demonstrate how advances in energy, materials and water productivity can be achieved through applying an integrated approach to sustainable engineering. Chapters 1-5 outline the approach and explain how it can be implemented to enhance the established Systems Engineering framework.Chapters 6-10 demonstrate, through detailed worked examples, the application of the approach to industrial pumping systems, passenger vehicles, electronics and computer systems, temperature control of buildings, and domestic water systems. It is published with The Natural Edge Project, the World Federation of Engineering Organizations, UNESCO and the Australian Government. Bookseller Inventory # AA69781844076437

Book Description: Taylor and Francis(Routledge), 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. (208 pages) Whoe System Design is increasingy being seen as one of the most cost-effective ways to both increase the productivity and reduce the negative environmenta impacts of an engineered system. A focus on design is critica, as the output from this stage of the project ocks in most of the economic and environmenta performance of the designed system throughout its ife, which can span from a few years to many decades. Indeed, it is now widey acknowedged that a designers - particuary engineers, architects and industria designers - need to be abe to understand and impement a whoe system design approach. This book provides a cear design methodoogy, based on eading efforts in the fied, and is supported by worked exampes that demonstrate how advances in energy, materias and water productivity can be achieved through appying an integrated approach to sustainabe engineering. Chapters 1-5 outine the approach and expain how it can be impemented to enhance the estabished Systems Engineering framework. Chapters 6-10 demonstrate, through detaied worked exampes, the appication of the approach to industria pumping systems, passenger vehices, eectronics and computer systems, temperature contro of buidings, and domestic water systems. Pubished with The Natura Edge Project, the Word Federation of Engineering Organizations, UNESCO and the Austraian Government.Forewords by Benjamin S. Banchard, Barry J. Grear, Tony Marjoram and Ernst Urich von Weizs?cker 1. A Whoe System Approach to Sustainabe Design 2. The fundamentas of Systems Engineering to inform a Whoe System Approach 3.

The exampes highight the simpe appication of the theory presented and make the book suitabe for sef earning as we as in cassroom or tutoria use.' Mr Barry J. Grear AO, President, Word Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) 'I was thried and impressed reading this manua that features an integrated approach towards resource productivity and, utimatey, sustainabiity both at sma and arge scae.' Professor Ernst Urich Von Weizs?cker, Co-recipient of the 2008 DBU German Environmenta Award and former President of the Wupperta Institute for Cimate, Environment and Energy 'The work of the Engineering Sustainabe Soutions Program of The Natura Edge Project, and this pubication, coud not be more timey and reevant.' Dr Tony Marjoram, Head of Engineering Sciences, UNESCO 'I am greaty impressed with what has been accompished in this pubication The materia seems to be very we organized, quite comprehensive, and quite compete.' Professor Benjamin S. Banchard, Co-Author of Systems Engineering and Anaysis (2006) 'I was buried in Whoe System Design. It's a rea itte gem and I ook forward to using it. It's very cear, straightforward and I ove the exampes. The onine supports are aso a tremendous faciity and together they can pay a significant roe in practica terms in heping reaise a sustainabiity informed engineering education curricuum gobay.' Edmond Byrne, Department of Process and Chemica Engineering, University Coege Cork, Ireand 'The pubication of this book is both timey and important given its focus on whoe system design and I commend it to researchers, practicing engineers and designers.' Dr Andrew Johnson, CSIRO Group Executive, Environment, CSIRO, Austraia 'I am convinced that Whoe System Design wi, if widey used, contribute much to hep societies make the urgenty needed, hoistic changes.
