Reviews
With up to 90% of all energy use-primary, secondary, and final energy-occurring in cities, Carbon Management in the Built Environment is a book that presents ideas that all of us who are interested in tropical forest conservation and mitigating climate change need to be familiar with. - Gabriel Thoumi, CFA, Mongabay.com
I read this book with much enjoyment because it brings together multidisciplinary approaches in a single volume dedicated to carbon management in the built environment. The book provides useful introductory material to both students and practitioners concerned with the built environment. It has succinct sections on the overarching principles, policies, approaches, assessment tools and technologies. - Yangang Xing, Cardiff University, UK With up to 90% of all energy use-primary, secondary, and final energy-occurring in cities, Carbon Management in the Built Environment is a book that presents ideas that all of us who are interested in tropical forest conservation and mitigating climate change need to be familiar with. - Gabriel Thoumi, CFA, Mongabay.com
