Drivers, environmental, economics and social impacts, and resiliency -- Sustainability metrics and assessment tools -- Sustainable engineering practices -- Sustainable and chemical engineering projects.

Summary: "This book contains detailed information about sustainability and resiliency principles and applications in engineering practice, and provides information on how to use scientific tools for sustainability assessment that help engineers select the best alternatives for each project or activity. Logically organized around the three pillars of sustainability -environment, economy, and society -it is a primary resource for students and professional alike. Sustainable engineering: drivers, metrics, tools, and applications offers numerous ways to help engineers contribute towards global sustainable development while solving some of the grand challenges the world is facing today. The first part of the book covers the environmental, economic, and social impacts associated with project/product development as well as society as a whole. This is followed by a section devoted to sustainability metrics and assessment, which includes material flow analysis and material budget, carbon footprint analysis, life cycle assessment, environmental health risk assessment, and more. Next comes an in-depth examination of sustainable engineering practices, including sustainable energy engineering, sustainable waste management, and green and sustainable buildings. The book concludes with a look at how sustainable engineering may be applied to different engineering (i.e environmental, chemical, civil, materials, infrastructure) projects."--Back cover
