Engineering a Green Built Environment

This book brings together innovative research and practical insights on how engineering can drive a more sustainable built environment. Covering topics from ventilation for healthier classrooms and integrated daylighting for student performance, to life cycle carbon assessment, energy performance data, and indoor environmental quality, it demonstrates how science and design can work together to reduce environmental impacts while improving human well-being.A unique feature of this collection is its breadth—linking embodied carbon analysis and building performance modelling with digital innovations such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector. Real-world case studies from the UK and beyond ground the research in practice, making the findings relevant to academics, students, practitioners, and policymakers alike.By combining evidence-based strategies with emerging technologies, this book offers a forward-looking framework for creating buildings that support climate goals, enhance occupant health, and prepare the construction industry for a sustainable future.
