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年工程可持续性将汇集来自学术界、政府、工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关注城市环境的环境可持续工程，以及将工程师，建筑师，经济学家，城市规划师和管理人员聚集在一起的能力。将围绕以下主题组织全体报告和同时举行的口头和海报会议：绿色建筑设计和施工;绿化室内环境;建筑环境的可持续分布式电源;可持续的城市饮用水、雨水和废水基础设施;设计更可持续的交通网络;利用可持续性原则促进创新和新产品开发。还将有许多计划中的非正式交流和建立联系的机会。关于建筑环境和基础设施可持续工程前沿研究的跨学科演讲，与会者所代表的学科和背景的混合，以及会议提供的网络机会，将使与会者能够离开会议，了解有关研究需求和机会的新信息和想法。这将加强参与者为资助可持续发展科学和工程研究的组织制定新颖和有影响力的提案的能力。会议将通过提高对影响人类健康和环境的问题的科学认识，进一步促进公众对可持续社区基础设施的兴趣。本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.
