Book Description
Runner Up Winner of the Edinburgh Gadda Prize - Established Scholars, Cultural Studies Category Winner of the American Association for Italian Studies Book Prize (20th & 21st Centuries) Honorable Mention for the Howard R. Marraro Prize By linking Italy’s long history of emigration to all continents in the world, contemporary transnational migrations directed toward it, as well as the country’s colonial legacies, Fiore’s book poses Italy as a unique laboratory to rethink national belonging at large in our era of massive demographic mobility. Through an interdisciplinary cultural approach, the book finds traces of globalization in a past that may hold interesting lessons about inclusiveness for the present. Fiore rethinks Italy’s formation and development on a transnational map through cultural analysis of travel, living, and work spaces as depicted in literary, filmic, and musical texts. By demonstrating how immigration in Italy today is preoccupied by its past emigration and colonialism, the book stresses commonalities and dispels preoccupations.

Book Description
GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) is the national rating system of India. It has been acknowledged as India’s own green building rating system. The tool evaluates reductions in emission intensity through habitats. GRIHA is a part of mitigation strategy for combating climate change in INDIA's “Nationally Determined Contributions” submitted to UNFCCC by the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change, Government of India. This set of GRIHA manuals is a guide for building professionals (architects, services engineers, landscape designers, project managers, and contractors) involved in the design and construction of green buildings. The manuals provide a comprehensive understanding of the 5th updated version of GRIHA rating system, with introduction to concepts like life cycle cost analysis, life cycle analysis, and water performance index, etc., with an aims to build more sustainable physical assets and infrastructure services, while enhancing the livability and workability of the occupants included in its underlying criteria, rating process, strategies for compliance, and the documentation and evaluation procedure. Salient features The following are the salient features of the new version of GRIHA rating: · Indigenous rating system · Adoption of holistic approach towards sustainability · Process driven and performance oriented · Integrated team approach Contents: MESSAGE PRESIDENT GRIHA Council FOREWORD CEO GRIHA Council Acknowledgements Technical Advisory Committee Development Team Abbreviations Introduction Criteria SECTION 1: SUSTAINABLE SITE PLANNING Criterion 1: Green Infrastructure Criterion 2: Low-Impact Design Strategies Criterion 3: Design to Mitigate UHIE SECTION 2: CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT Criterion 4: Air and Soil Pollution Control Criterion 5: Topsoil Preservation Criterion 6: Construction Management Practices SECTION 3: ENERGY OPTIMIZATION Criterion 7: Energy Optimization Criterion 8: Renewable Energy Utilization Criterion 9: Low ODP and GWP Materials SECTION 4: OCCUPANT COMFORT Criterion 10: Visual Comfort Criterion 11: Thermal and Acoustic Comfort Criterion 12: Indoor Air Quality SECTION 5: WATER MANAGEMENT Criterion 13: Water Demand Reduction Criterion 14: Wastewater Treatment Criterion 15: Rainwater Management Criterion 16: Water Quality and Self-Sufficiency SECTION 6: SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT Criterion 17: Waste Management—Post Occupancy Criterion 18: Organic Waste Treatment SECTION 7: SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIALS CRITERION 19: Utilization of Alternative Materials in Building CRITERION 20: Reduction in Global Warming Potential through Life Cycle Assessment CRITERION 21: Alternative Materials for External Site Development SECTION 8: LIFE CYCLE COSTING CRITERION 22: Life Cycle Cost Analysis SECTION 9: SOCIO-ECONOMIC STRATEGIES Criterion 23: Safety and Sanitation for Construction Workers Criterion 24: Universal Accessibility Criterion 25: Dedicated Facilities for Service Staff Criterion 26: Positive Social Impact SECTION 10: PERFORMANCE METERING AND MONITORING Criterion 27: Project Commissioning Criterion 28: Smart Metering and Monitoring Criterion 29: Operation and Maintenance Protocol SECTION 11: INNOVATION Criterion 30: Innovation Audience: Building professionals (architects, services engineers, landscape designers, project managers, and contractors) involved in the design and construction of green buildings Shelving: Environmental Engineering: Sustainable Architecture

Book Description
Buildings can breathe naturally, without the use of mechanical systems, if you design the spaces properly. This accessible and thorough guide shows you how in more than 260 color diagrams and photographs illustrating case studies and CFD simulations. You can achieve truly natural ventilation, by considering the building's structure, envelope, energy use, and form, as well as giving the occupants thermal comfort and healthy indoor air. By using scientific and architectural visualization tools included here, you can develop ventilation strategies without an engineering background. Handy sections that summarize the science, explain rules of thumb, and detail the latest research in thermal and fluid dynamics will keep your designs sustainable, energy efficient, and up-to-date.

Book Description
This book investigates energy use and measures to improve the energy efficiency of public housing, using post-war social housing development estates in Cyprus as its example. On this Mediterranean island, which experiences hot and humid temperatures throughout the year, residential buildings need to adapt to the climate to improve the thermal comfort of their occupants. The book assesses the domestic energy use of inefficiently built residential tower blocks and their occupants’ thermal comfort by considering the significant impact of overheating risks on energy consumption and occupants’ thermal comfort and well-being, with the intention of evaluating the current energy performance of base-case representative residential tower blocks (RTBs). In particular, considering the cooling energy demand in the summer, using Famagusta, Cyprus as a case study. It seeks to identify the impact of occupancy patterns and habitual adaptive behaviour of households on home energy performance in order to provide bases for the information needed to calibrate building energy performance of targeted households.
