In a complex system, it is difficult to know exactly how the individual components contribute to an observed behavior and the extent of each component's contributions. It is the interactions of the individual components that determine the emergent functionalities. This makes it difficult to understand and predict the behavior of complex systems and hence the effects of any innovations in this field. This necessitates for the emergence of a new age of innovations with the main focus on user orientation and sustainability. This book explores some of the complex systems and their dependence on the environment to provide a long-term perspective, aiding innovations and supporting a sustainable society. The intended audience of this book will mainly consist of researchers, research students, and practitioners in the field of complex systems and sustainability. 606 $aEcological houses 615 0$aEcological houses. 676 $a690.8 702 $aThomas$b Ciza 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910169206003321 996 $aComplex Systems, Sustainability and Innovation$92280383 997 $aUNINA
