Advances in Bio-Based Materials for Construction and Energy Efficiency: Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering

Editat de Fernando Pacheco-Torgal, Dan Tsang
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 mai 2025
Advances in Bio-Based Materials for Construction and Energy Efficiency fills a gap in the published literature, discussing bio-based materials and biotechnologies that are crucial for a more sustainable construction industry. With comprehensive coverage and contributions from leading experts in the field, the book includes sections on bio-based materials and biotechnologies for infrastructure applications, bio-based materials and biotechnologies for building energy efficiency, and other applications, such as using biotechnology to reduce indoor air pollution, for water treatment, and in soil decontamination. The book will be an essential reference resource for academic researchers, civil engineers, contractors working in construction works, postgraduate students and other professionals.

  • Covers recent trends on bio-based materials and biotechnologies for eco-efficient construction
  • Focus on sustainability and green concepts
  • Includes infrastructure applications, building energy efficiency and biotechnology
  • Presents cutting-edge technologies that includes the use of nanocellulose, geopolymer mortars using agricultural waste, and photosynthetic panels made of algae-laden biological materials
