The environmental impact of housing is considerable. Each year in the UK, domestic energy use accounts for around 30% of energy consumption, and the materials used in house construction account for 10% of mineral extraction and 1% of climate change. Whilst energy efficiency initiatives over the last 30 years have reduced the energy needed to heat a typical house considerably, the development of initiatives to reduce the impacts arising from construction materials has been comparatively slow. Of the written information available to date, most has lacked practical guidance and has proved difficult for designers and their clients to interpret. This handbook provides a ‘green’ guide to specification of construction materials for housing which is both easy to use and soundly based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies of the environmental impacts of different materials.

The book has two aims: to introduce basic concepts of environmental modeling and to facilitate the application of the concepts using modern numerical tools such as MATLAB. It is targeted at all natural scientists dealing with the environment: process and chemical engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, biochemists, hydrogeologists, geochemists and ecologists.
MATLAB was chosen as the major computer tool for modeling, firstly because it is unique in it's capabilities, and secondly because it is available in most academic institutions, in all universities and in the research departments of many companies.

Providing the fundamental knowledge on how a typical hydraulic system generates, delivers, and deploys fluid power, Basics of Hydraulic Systems highlights the key configuration features of the components that are needed to support their functionality in a system, such as operating principles, structural features, functionalities, and applications of core composing elements. It also shows how those components work together to perform the designated power transmission task.
