This book discusses the challenges related to climate change mitigation and adaptation. It adds valuable strategies and insights into the development of new practices solving the identified social and economic problems related to ecosystem deterioration and anticipating other disasters related to climate change. As the decarbonization of cities and communities became an issue of great interest to many researchers, the book in hands will be of great importance to decision-makers and energy stakeholders and others seeking a more resilient and sustainable future and developing innovative technologies to overcome environmental deterioration.This book is a culmination of selected research papers from the first version of the international conference on 'Climate Chance and Environmental Sustainability' which was held in 2021 in collaboration with Chongqing University, China.

¿This book provides much needed insights into the scale and nature of the challenges we all face in reducing the impact of built environments on our shared climate. It plots safer pathways forward for reducing operational and embodied energy in construction and refurbishment. It should be mandatory reading for all designers, planners and developers in Australia.¿¿Sue Roaf, Emeritus Professor, Heriot Watt University, UK¿This book shows how, using science-based approaches, we can deliver on net zero carbon new buildings by 2030 and for existing ones we can do this by 2040.  We need a whole of life and whole building approach. This book can be used in many countries and even localised with local data and benchmarks. A great publication.¿¿Professor Wu Jiang, Chairman, Asia Architecture AssociationThis book focuses on the transition towards net-zero carbon built environments to deliver on the climate emergency. It provides an evidence-based roadmap and proposes guidelines to achieving targets covering emerging technologies, materials, innovative design, regulations and policies.Scientia Professor Deo Prasad AO is the CEO of the NSW Decarbonisation Innovation Hub based at UNSW Sydney Australia.Dr Aysu Kuru is a lecturer at School of Architecture, Design and Planning, University of Sydney.Dr Philip Oldfield is Associate Professor and Head of School at UNSW Built Environment, Australia.Dr Lan Ding is Associate Professor and Convenor of High-Performance Architecture at UNSW Built Environment, Australia.Dr Malay Dave is Strategic Sustainability Advisor at Steensen Varming, Australia.Dr Caroline Noller is Chair of TG2 MECLA and a member of Australian Architects Declare¿s Technical Work Group.Dr Baojie He is Research Professor at School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Chongqing University, China.

Covers the basics of solar power and electrical concepts, investigating the ways in which photovoltaics can be integrated into the design and creation of buildings equipped for the demands of the 21st century. This title explores the potential for building-integrated photovoltaics (BiPV), in both buildings and other structures.
