Student and Junior Faculty Travel Support for Engineering Sustainability 2013: Innovation and the Triple Bottom Line, Pittsburgh, PA, April 7-9, 2013

1264015(贝克曼)。2013工程可持续发展将汇集来自学术界、政府、行业和非营利组织的工程师和科学家，分享针对环境可持续建筑和基础设施（特别是城市水利基础设施）发展的前沿研究和实践成果。该会议的独特之处在于其对城市环境的环境可持续工程的关注，以及将工程师、建筑师、经济学家、城市规划者和管理者聚集在一起的能力。将围绕以下主题组织全体会议报告和同时举行的口头和海报会议：绿色建筑设计和建造；绿化室内环境；建筑环境可持续分布式电力；可持续的城市饮用水、雨水和污水基础设施；设计更具可持续性的交通网络；运用可持续发展原则促进创新和新产品开发。还将有许多非正式交流和建立网络的计划机会。关于建筑环境和基础设施可持续工程前沿研究的跨学科报告，与会者所代表的学科和背景的混合，以及会议提供的交流机会，将使与会者在会议结束时获得有关研究需求和机会的新信息和想法。这将加强参与者向资助可持续性科学和工程研究的组织提出新颖和有影响力的建议的能力。会议将通过提高影响人类健康和环境问题的科学知识水平，进一步提高公众对可持续社区基础设施的兴趣。这次会议还将加强关于环境可持续性研究的跨学科对话，并在基础科学和应用科学与工程中进行交叉应用。

1264015 (Beckman). Engineering Sustainability 2013 will bring together engineers and scientists from academia, government, industry, and non-profits to share results of cutting edge research and practice directed at development of environmentally sustainable buildings and infrastructure, especially urban water infrastructure. The conference is unique in its focus on environmentally sustainable engineering for the urban environment, and its ability to bring together engineers, architects, economists, and urban planners and managers. Plenary presentations and concurrent oral and poster sessions will be organized around the following themes: green building design and construction; greening the indoor environment; sustainable distributed power for the built environment; sustainable urban drinking water, stormwater, and wastewater infrastructure; design of more sustainable transportation grids; using principles of sustainability to foster innovation and new product development. There will also be numerous planned opportunities for informal exchanges and networking. The interdisciplinary presentations on cutting edge research in sustainable engineering for the built environment and infrastructure, the mixture of disciplines and backgrounds represented among the participants, and the networking opportunities provided by the conference will enable participants to leave the conference with new information and ideas about research needs and opportunities. This will strengthen the ability of the participants to develop novel and impactful proposals to organizations funding research in sustainability science and engineering. The conference will further the public interest in sustainable community infrastructure by advancing the state of scientific knowledge of issues affecting human health and the environment. This conference will also enhance interdisciplinary dialogue on environmental sustainability research with cross-cutting applications in basic and applied sciences and engineering.
