Proceedings of the 2017 3rd International Forum on Energy, Environment Science and Materials (IFEESM 2017)

Energy and environment have become the central theme in several fields of research and in various policy arenas. The 2017 International Forum on Energy, Environment Science and Materials (IFEESM 2017) provides a forum for accessing to the most up-to-date and authoritative knowledge from both industrial and academic worlds, sharing best practice in this exciting field. The conference was successfully held in Shenzhen during the period November 25-26, 2017.

The present volumes contain the selected papers from many submissions for this conference and provide up-to-date, comprehensive and worldwide state-of-the art knowledge in this field. All papers included in this collection had undergone the careful peer-review by the experts before it is selected for publications. The total number of submitted papers is 1223 and 400 are accepted. This volume cover these sub topics: environment protection and biological protection; energy development, resources utilization, and energy-saving technology; materials processing technology, manufacturing and equipment; electric power, electronics and automation; noise environment, thermal environment and architecture environment design; ecological economy, circular economy, low carbon economy, and sustainable development; green buildings, energy-saving buildings, low-carbon construction, ecological building; water environment, water resources, protection and exploitation; disaster prevention and mitigation; planning and design of urban, rural, transportation and landscape.

The main objective of the book is to take the energy–development–environment discussion a step further. The book is intended to serve as resource material for scientists working on related topics in many disciplines, including energy science, environmental sciences, new materials, economics and policy analysis.

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all authors and participants for helping to make it a productive and interactive meeting.
