Innovation in Energy Security and Long-Term Energy Efficiency
The sustainable development of our planet depends on the use of energy. The growing population of the world inevitably causes an increase in the demand for energy, which, on the one hand, threatens the potential for shortages of energy supply, and, on the other hand, causes the deterioration of the environment.Therefore, our task is to reduce this demand through different innovative solutions (i.e., both technological and social). Social marketing and economic policies can also play a role in affecting the behavior of households and companies, by causing behavioral change oriented to energy stewardship, and an overall switch to renewable energy resources. This book provides a platform for the exchange of a wide range of ideas, which, ultimately, would facilitate the driving of societies to long-term energy efficiency.

Transforming the Construction Industry with Blockchain : Enhancing Efficiency, Transparency, and Collaboration
Apply a transformative new technology to construction projects with this timely guide The blockchain is one of the most transformative technologies to emerge in the twenty-first century.But Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will also have a profound impact in construction in equal measure.Both will influence how digitalization is applied and how these new technologies are addressed with an identifiable skills gap in their implementation.Using a decentralized digital ledger to ensure that information stored across numerous computers cannot be altered, it provides a fully transparent and secure way of storing and sharing information.Transforming the Construction Industry with Blockchain provides a comprehensive overview of this technology and its applications in construction and the building trades.Beginning with an overview of basic blockchain principles and then moving to construction-specific applications, it provides a range of strategies by which construction professionals can increase and streamline their collaborations with other stakeholders and create smarter, more transparent projects.Transforming the Construction Industry with Blockchain readers will also find: Case studies throughout showing blockchain at work in construction projectsDetailed discussion of topics including improving data flows on construction projects, reducing sub-contracts and misaligned workflows, and many moreGuidance for using blockchain to encourage sustainable and ethically-sourced design and construction Transforming the Construction Industry with Blockchain is ideal for all construction professionals or potential stakeholders in building projects.

Promoting energy efficiency standards and technologies to enhance energy efficiency in buildings
Considerable progress in energy efficiency in the building sector is reported in the majority of the UNECE member States, and still reaching the potential often falls short due to flawed policy frameworks, and lack of public awareness on available modern technologies and education on long-term economic and social benefits of energy efficiency improvement.This publication is prepared in response to the outlined challenges and aims to elucidate the status of implementation of energy efficiency standards in buildings and deployment of appropriate technologies, and to identify good policy practices and replicable solutions.It also proposes a set of general recommendations and priority actions arising from the analysis.

Dynamic Efficiency and Productivity Measurement
A systematic treatment of dynamic decision making and performance measurementModern business environments are dynamic.Yet, the models used to make decisions and quantify success within them are stuck in the past.In a world where demands, resources, and technology are interconnected and evolving, measures of efficiency need to reflect that environment. In Dynamic Efficiency and Productivity Measurement, Elvira Silva, Spiro E.Stefanou, and Alfons Oude Lansink look at the business process from a dynamic perspective.Their systematic study covers dynamic production environments where current production decisions impact future production possibilities.By considering practical factors like adjustments over time, this book offers an important lens for contemporary microeconomic analysis.Silva, Stefanou, and Lansink develop the analytical foundations of dynamic production technology in both primal and dual representations, with an emphasis on directional distance functions.They cover concepts measuring the production structure (economies of scale, economies of scope, capacity utilization) and performance (allocative, scale and technical inefficiency, productivity) in a methodological and comprehensive way. Through a unified approach, Dynamic Efficiency and Productivity Measurement offers a guide to how firms maximize potential in changing environments and an invaluable contribution to applied microeconomics.

Asymptotic Efficiency of Nonparametric Tests
Making a substantiated choice of the most efficient statistical test is one of the basic problems of statistics.Asymptotic efficiency is an indispensable technique for comparing and ordering statistical tests in large samples.It is especially useful in nonparametric statistics where it is usually necessary to rely on heuristic tests.This monograph presents a unified treatment of the analysis and calculation of the asymptotic efficiencies of nonparametric tests.Powerful new methods are developed to evaluate explicitly different kinds of efficiencies.Of particular interest is the description of domains of the Bahadur local optimality and related characterisation problems based on recent research by the author.Other Russian results are also published here for the first time in English.Researchers, professionals and students in statistics will find this book invaluable.

Justice and Efficiency in Mega-Litigation
Justice and Efficiency in Mega-Litigation explores the phenomenon of extremely long-running, resource-intensive civil litigation known as ‘mega-litigation’.Such litigation challenges the courts to reconcile the objectives of justice and efficiency – for the parties to the case and for the community.Drawing on interviews with judges of the courts of England and Wales, and of Australia, this book shows how judges have responded to these challenges. It situates mega-litigation within broader developments in civil procedure and case management, as well as theoretical debates about the role of courts and the purpose of civil procedure.The book highlights the importance of intensive, creative and flexible case management; focus on the issues in dispute; and, ultimately, each judge’s expert intuition.

Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Policies
Although there are many publications about energy efficiency policies and renewable energy policies, most of them are specific to some countries or regions.As most of these publications focus on country and region specific issues, they may not be preferred in teaching the energy related policies in a university not from that country or region.The author has been teaching a course called “Energy Laws and Policies” for a long time.Over the years, she prepared detailed lecture notes about energy efficiency policies and renewable energy policies which are the basis of this book.It can be used by instructors around the World, or by students/individuals who want to learn more about these policies.It is aimed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate, and graduate level students.The book includes the definitions, types, advantages/disadvantages of energy efficiency policies and renewable energy policies in general.It also provides a comparative analysis on energy efficiency and renewable energy policy preferences of different countries.It will help the students to better understand the major differences between policies, how they are applied and which policies should be preferred under which conditions.
