Molière holds each of us accountable when he asserted that, “It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.” Responsible Engineering and Living 2022 (REAL2022) strived to inspire every individual to practise and foster responsible engineering and living. Its proceedings brings all stakeholders, enthusiasts and experts from academia, industry, policy arenas, and general public, together to discuss challenges, sharpen existing solutions, and formulate novel means to advance responsible engineering and living. This symposium disseminates recent progress and promote collaborations to maximize opportunities for innovative solutions. Topics of interest include resource and energy conservation, waste reduction, nature-friendly engineering and architecture, and sustainable vibrant living.Springer Proceedings in Energy,2352-2542Renewable energy sourcesEnvironmental educationSustainabilitySustainable architectureEnergy policyEnergy policyPower resourcesRenewable EnergyEnvironmental and Sustainability EducationSustainabilitySustainable Architecture/Green BuildingsEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementNatural Resource and Energy EconomicsRenewable energy sources.Environmental education.Sustainability.Sustainable architecture.Energy policy.Energy policy.Power resources.Renewable Energy.Environmental and Sustainability Education.Sustainability.Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Natural Resource and Energy Economics.628 Vasel-Be-Hagh AhmadTing David S-K.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910633923503321Responsible engineering and living3086736UNINA
