Review of The Future of Buildings, Transportation and Power
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Future of Buildings, Transportation and Power" by Roger Duncan and Michael E. Webber.]
The Future of Buildings, Transportation and Power.
Review by Ahmed Mohamed Omar.
This book is written by the former Energy Fellow, Roger Duncan and Dr. Webber who is a Chief Science And Technology Officer. The Book is a journey through the energy world trends and their relation to the different aspects of the life like buildings and transportation. One expectation is about information system and how it will be an essential element through the energy flow.
Roger and Michael brainstormed on October 11, 2011 and the place was the Energy Institute, University of Texas and the result was a book that discusses vital issues like the role of the renewable energy, artificial intelligence in the future buildings and how to reach carbon-neutral state by 2030. There are a researches mentioned about how the buildings will be responsive to the people interactions!
There is other research about the transportation future which is moving in parallel directions like electrified cars, self-driving freight delivery vehicles and hyper-loop trains. The gravity escaping is a major factor discussed in relation to the travel challenges. There are also a swift presentation about energy sources with predictions till 2050 of the new sources including wind turbines and solar photovoltaic (PV) panels.
From the positive points about the book that it gathers between energy emission measures and economy in attractive scientific way, for example the 80 percent emission free energy target. The book collects between the fiction classification and the precise outline that are built on many trusted references and scientific research efforts by the 2 authors for more than 10 years. The numeric language through the whole book enforces the scientific approach.
Although the rich information contained along with simplicity, some specialized readers like engineers for example may expect more from this book as a source of information they need in their scientific fields where they usually need references more than books. Some general audience may find the scientific terms used is slightly excess. It depends on the purpose of the reading.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars as a book that delivers the information densely and simply. The book is suitable for the science focused readers along with general audience that want to know more about energy in a simple way especially with current global concern about energy and their major effects on economy. Although the book is published in 2020 but this with the rich lightening approach of many terms like biofuels, centralized power plants, nanotechnology, clean energy and quantum teleportation makes the reader feels that the book is 2022 edition with many future approach discussions through the book.
