Abstract "Analyzing the self-sufficient Danish island of Sams©ı, this book explains sustainability through a biogeophysical understanding of how to best use Earth's limited resources to achieve true sustainability. The method used derives from the thermodynamic function of exergy. By analyzing exergy flows and establishing a system for evaluating the energy and the materials used in a society, the author creates a platform for monitoring certain indicators of sustainability. These indicators inform readers about the actions that must be taken, and the timeframes for achieving sustainability goals. Exergy-based approach is an important tool for carrying out such analysis"-- Provided by publisher.
