Project description
This project envisages the analysis of the complete human/industrial system and ecosystem on the basis of thermodynamics with the aim to come up with resource efficiency indicators allowing a more sustainable energy and materials management. Both direct and indirect energy and material flows are considered, both for the ecosystem and for the human/industrial system.
