The majority of these are due to the production and consumption of energy. According to the latest estimates, global energy demand could triple by 2050, and by then, 70% of the world's population will live in cities. The challenge for future cities is the implementation of a mechanism that minimizes the need for injection of new energy resources in them, so that a high level of self-sufficiency can be achieved through the concept of circular economy, thus partially mitigating the impacts of climate change. Using solar energy today is considered to be one of the best solutions that can be installed in buildings to help with this issue. This book addresses several relevant aspects related to energy saving at cities, including a deep survey of research topics and scientific collaborations in energy saving. The main research topics carried out are related to sustainability, solar energy, the use of rooftops for energy generation, energy conversion from urban biomass or residues, wind energy, and public and private urban energy saving. 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 610 $abike sharing 610 $aenergy conservation 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aenergy saving 610 $aenergy saving in data processing centers 610 $aenergy utilization 610 $aenergy-saving 610 $aGulf of Mexico 610 $aindustrial scale 610 $alocal climate policy 610 $alocal GHG emissions 610 $amultilevel governance 610 $amunicipal authorities 610 $amunicipal energy planning 610 $aoptimal tilt angle 610 $aPalestine 610 $aPCB 610 $apeak electricity demand 610 $aPV 610 $aPV system 610 $aPVGIS 610 $aPVWatts 610 $aPyro-Gas 610 $apyrolysis 610 $arenewable energy 610 $ascale parameter 610 $ascientific collaboration 610 $aseasons 610 $ashape parameter 610 $asolar photovoltaic 610 $asolar radiation 610 $asolid tire wastes 610 $asustainability 610 $asustainable transport 610 $asystem rebalancing 610 $athermal power plants 610 $aTPO 610 $aWeibull function 610 $awind farm 610 $awind power density 610 $azero-energy buildings 615 7$aResearch and information: general 700 $aManzano Agugliaro$b Francisco$4edt$01297613 702 $aPerea Moreno$b Alberto Jesús$4edt 702 $aManzano Agugliaro$b Francisco$4oth 702 $aPerea Moreno$b Alberto Jesús$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557115203321 996 $aEnergy Saving at Cities$93038776 997 $aUNINA
