Thermal properties of pavement materialsClimate change is one of the most important environmental problems faced by Planet Earth. The majority of CO2 emissions come from burning fossil fuels for energy production and improvements in energy efficiency shows the greatest potential for any single strategy to abate global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the energy sector. Energy related emissions account for almost 80% of the EU's total greenhouse gas emissions. The building sector is the largest energy user responsible for about 40% of the EU's total final energy consumption. In Europe the number of installed air conditioning sysWoodhead Publishing series in civil and structural engineering ;Number 56.Building materialsEnvironmental aspectsBuilding materialsEnvironmental aspects.691.0286Torgal Fernando PachecoAlchapar N.
