Energy Saving at Cities

Аннотация

The use of renewable energies and energy saving, and efficiency are the needs of a global society. According to the latest estimates, global energy demand could triple by 2050, and by then, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities. Cities are currently responsible for 80% of greenhouse gas emissions, so they have a key role to play in shifting toward a sustainable energy future. Cities are threatened not only by overcrowding, but also by rising energy demand, obsolete infrastructure, volatile energy markets, and the effects of climate change.This book aims to advance the contribution of energy saving and the use of renewable energies in order to achieve more sustainable cities.
