Integrated Project Delivery for Building Infrastructure Opportunities

This book examines in great detail the D-B and IPD methods, while touching on D-B-B and CM project deliveries. In this vein, the discussion regarding IPD is a variation from ASHRAE Technical Committee TC 7.1, Integrated Building Design (IBD), with the focus herein on HVAC-Led IPD Opportunities by consulting engineers and mechanical contractors. This IPD variation is also described later in the book as a 21st-century version of what was 20th-century D-B project delivery although D-B project delivery is still widely used.

Handbook of Engineering Management: The Digital Economy

The Engineering Management discipline remains complex and multidisciplinary, and has progressed and broadened in scope significantly over the last 10–20 years. Previously, the discipline has been fragmented and not aligned with the purposes of economic development, mega-project delivery, and technological progress. Digital engineering has revolutionized the field of engineering by introducing digital tools and technologies to the design, creation, operation, and maintenance of physical systems, products, and services. It has enabled more efficient, effective, and sustainable solutions, and has the potential to drive significant innovation and improve the way we design, build, and operate physical systems. This handbook addresses new content of complexity by offering new engineering concepts such as simple, complicated, and complex, which have never been included in this discipline before and will generate interest from higher education, financial institutions, and technology companies. Handbook of Engineering Management: The Digital Economy focuses on multidisciplinary integration and complex evolving systems. It discusses the incorporation of a system of systems along with engineering economic strategies for sustainable economic growth. This handbook highlights functional leadership as the main part of an engineering manager’s competency and discusses how to form alliances strategically. In addition, it presents a comprehensive guide for the implementation of an environmental management system and shows how environmental and social impacts can be assessed in an organization applying digital tools. This handbook also brings together the three important areas of Engineering Management: Knowledge Management, the Digital Economy, and Digital Manufacturing. In addition, this handbook provides a comprehensive guide to implementing an environmental management system and shows how environmental and social impacts in an organization can be assessed using digital tools. Based on the authors’ practical experience, it describes various management approaches and explains how such a system can be used to prioritize actions and resources, increase efficiency, minimize costs, and lead to better, more informed decision making. It is essential to follow a systematic approach and to ask the right questions, whether the system is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of both. This handbook is laid out in a series of simple steps and dispels the jargon and myths surrounding this important management tool. This handbook is an ideal read for engineering managers, project managers, industrial and systems engineers, supply chain engineers, professionals who want to advance their knowledge, and graduate students.

The Path to Net Zero for the Fashion Industry: Five Strategies for Decarbonisation

This book uses a quantitative science-based approach to explain where the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions emitted by the fashion industry are generated and it explores what strategies can be deployed to achieve Net Zero by 2050. With GHG emissions currently predicted to triple by the middle of the century, the fashion industry is far off course to reach Net Zero, as set out in the Paris Agreement. With misinformation and greenwashing representing an ever-growing barrier to potential solutions, the book aims to demystify the source of GHG emissions from the industry, breaking down in detail their origin, while identifying the steps that can be taken when designing and sourcing new products. Detailing the market drivers and trends in fashion consumption, it argues that change should be guided by science-based quantitative principles. Accessibly written with key insights at the end of each chapter, this book will enable the reader to understand the tactics to tackle decarbonisation, and ultimately outline five main strategies that can be deployed by the fashion and textile industries to align with the Paris Agreement. This book serves as a practical guide for designers, buyers and the fashion industry in general to develop and understand approaches and strategies to reduce energy consumption and the resulting GHG emissions to reach Net Zero.
