AlbakiReads Editorial

A thermodynamics-based framework for assessing sustainability

Wojciech Stanek brings thermo-ecology together with exergy replacement cost in a framework termed thermo-ecology cost (TEC). The book presents TEC as a way to account for the resource impacts of products and processes, including both renewable and non-renewable inputs, while bringing thermodynamic principles into environmental decision-making. Its scope extends from the underlying measurement approach to applications across industries and life-cycle assessment. With sustainability framed as an evaluation problem, the volume concentrates on how a common analytical tool can inform comparisons and decisions involving resource use.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and researchers studying ecology, sustainability, or thermodynamics
  • Professionals working with life-cycle assessment and environmental impact evaluation
  • Policymakers and industry decision-makers assessing products or processes

Book overview

Thermo-ecology: Exergy as a Measure of Sustainability integrates thermo-ecology and exergy replacement cost as a new and original tool called thermo-ecology cost, or TEC. This tool allows for a more inclusive measurement of the impacts of using renewable and non-renewable resources by including the thermodynamics law in decision-making and presenting applications of this tool across industries and lifecycle assessments. It includes ways to investigate these effects more effectively by combining these critical aspects. This combination has emerged as a valuable decision-support tool for policymakers and the industry as they seek to evaluate the impacts of a product or process.
