Synopsis

Energy, economic, and social concerns are becoming increasingly important due to climate change, threats to energy security, depletion of traditional resources, and threats to human health. Integration of green resources and the adoption of clean technologies are of strategic importance for civil engineering. To preserve natural resources and promote responsible engineering, it is essential to be aware of the clean technologies emerging in the field of civil engineering.

Clean Technologies and Sustainable Development in Civil Engineering addresses clean technologies for the sustainable future of practical applications from civil engineering. It presents the latest research results and state-of-the-art methodologies that address top concerns and establish cooperative research and development worldwide. Covering topics such as green urbanization, sustainable waste management, and solar thermal energy, this premier reference source is an indispensable resource for civil engineers, scientists, environmentalists, students and educators of higher education, specialists, libraries, researchers, and academicians.

About the Authors

Dr. Raluca-Andreea Felseghi is Scientific Researcher. The main research direction was the concern related to the implementation of hydrogen fuel cell technologies in practical applications. She is currently involved in teaching activities at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Department of Mechanical Engineering - Faculty of Automotive, Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering. At "Ştefan cel Mare" University of Suceava, Romania, she was a member of the research team in a project that aimed to integrate hydrogen energy into the electricity supply systems of electric vehicle charging stations (SMiLE-EV). Her main fields of interest are energy efficiency of buildings, stationary application of renewable energies, fuel cell hydrogen technology, hybrid power generation systems, impact of alternative energies on the environment. She is president of the Scientific, Innovation and Technical Education Commission and member of the Romanian Association of Building Services Engineering - Transylvania Branch, a member of the Romanian Association for Hydrogen Energy and a member of Women in Green Hydrogen community (https://women-in-green-hydrogen.net/raluca-andreea-felseghi/).

Nicoleta Cobȋrzan is an Associate Professor at Faculty of Civil Engineering, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. She has a master’s degree in Energy, Energy Resources and Environment and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering. The main fields of interest and research expertise areas are in structural analysis of masonry and concrete buildings, design of low energy buildings, structural and thermal rehabilitation of existing buildings, seismic vulnerability assessment, microscopical and macroscopical investigations of building materials, investigation of recovered materials, ecological and low intensive materials, circular economy issues, sustainability.

Maria Simona Raboaca is working as a Researcher at to National Research and Development Institute for Cryogenics and Isotopic Technologies ICSI Rm. Valcea, Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Department. Her Ph.D. is “Theoretical and practical Contribution regarding to sustain with hybrid energy a Passive House” in Faculty of Building Services Engineering in Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Now, she is a project manager at ICSI to project “Smart conductive charging station, fixed and mobile, for electric propulsion transportation (SMiLE-EV)” proposes the deployment of fixed and mobile EV & PHEV charging stations to meet the mobility needs of tomorrow’s society and to prepare active/potential industrial partners for knowledge/technology transfer at the component or system level in prepare launching new products. She has been contributing to the field of Renewable Energy, Green Buildings, Passive House Concept, Hydrogen Energy and Stationary and Mobile applications. She is the author and co-author of more technical papers in scientific conference proceedings and ISI journals.
