Book Description
Many areas of knowledge converge in the building industry and therefore research in this field necessarily involves an interdisciplinary approach. Effective research requires strong relation between a broad variety of scientific and technological domains and more conventional construction or craft processes, while also considering advanced management processes, where all the main actors permanently interact. This publication takes an interdisciplinary approach grouping various studies on the building industry chosen from among the works presented for the 2nd International Conference on Construction and Building Research. The papers examine aspects of materials and building systems; construction technology; energy and sustainability; construction management; heritage, refurbishment and conservation. The information contained within these pages may be of interest to researchers and practitioners in construction and building activities from the academic sphere, as well as public and private sectors.

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : es

Book Description
La calidad de un bien o servicio no se decreta: se crea y se produce. La creación y aplicación de un sistema de gestión de calidad basado en las normas ISO 9000 puede servir de guía para asegurar que un bien o servicio ha sido producido con procesos controlados; sin embargo, esto solo no garantiza la calidad. Las normas ISO especifican aquello que “se debe hacer”, pero el “cómo” es la verdadera tarea de quien diseña, documenta e implementa un sistema de gestión de calidad. Este texto es una guía útil para planear el proceso, diseño e implementación del sistema de gestión en una empresa de acuerdo con los requisitos de la norma ISO vigente. El libro contiene capítulos sobre el marco referencial de la norma ISO y conceptos como ingeniería de calidad, mejoramiento continuo, manual de calidad, auditoría interna, auditoría externa y certificación. El texto está actualizado hasta la norma ISO 9001-2015 y contiene referencias útiles a versiones anteriores de la norma. Sistemas de gestión de calidad: Teoría y práctica es un valioso texto guía para la enseñanza de la Calidad en los niveles de pregrado y posgrado en carreras como Ingeniería, Administración de Empresas y Economía, y para empresarios con interés en conocer sobre las normas ISO y los sistemas de gestión.

Engaging People in Sustainability
Author: Daniella Tilbury
Publisher: IUCN
ISBN: 9782831708232
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

This standard is expected to give a big impact in energy management and it is estimated that the standard could influence up to 60 % of the world’s energy use. ISO 50001 established a framework for energy management systems, not only for industrial plants but also for commercial, institutional, governmental facilities; and entire organizations.\n This book summarizes the results of a study conducted by the University of Girona (UdG) and University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) aimed at analyzing the impact of ISO 50001 standard in Spain. \n\n

Accessible Tourism
Author: Dimitrios Buhalis
Publisher: Channel View Publications
ISBN: 1845411609
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Inclusion, disability, an ageing population and tourism are increasingly important areas of study due to their implications for both tourism demand and supply. This book therefore sets out to explore and document the current theoretical approaches, foundations and issues in the study of accessible tourism. In drawing together the contributions to this volume the editors have applied broader social constructionist approaches to understanding the accessible tourism phenomena. Accessible tourism, as with any area of academic study is an evolving field of academic research and industry practice. As with other areas of tourism, the field is multidisciplinary, and is influenced by various disciplines including geography, disability studies, economics, public policy, psychology and marketing. "As one would expect from two scholars at the height of their academic abilities, Dimitrios Buhalis and Simon Darcy have delivered a timely and much needed contribution to the under-served area of accessible tourism. Harnessing the best conceptual developments on the topic, Accessible Tourism is a scholarly yet hugely readable collection and readily communicates the various contributors' passion for and command of their subject. This collection is a must have text for anyone engaged in the theory, practice and policy of accessible tourism and will be essential reading on undergraduate and postgraduate courses across a range of disciplines and fields. I cannot speak highly enough of this endeavour and I'm sure it will take accessible tourism and universal design debates into the mainstream of academic enquiry and industry practice."
