Management professor Scott Herriott published a textbook in December titled Feasibility Analysis for Sustainable Technologies: An Engineering-Economic Perspective.
Business Experts Press published the 300-page book as part of their Environmental and Social Sustainability for Business Advantage Collection, edited by Chris Laszlo, the well-known author of Embedded Sustainability.
Dr. Herriott's book walks readers through a feasibility analysis of a renewable-energy or energy-efficiency project. Included are a basic description of the technology, cash flow analysis, and examples of a variety of sustainable projects. The book is useful to business students and to sustainability professionals who are responsible for implementing sustainable technologies.
Business Experts Press will also publish a European edition that will describe public policies for sustainable technologies in a European context. It will be co-authored by Sharon Gerge, director of the MSc program in environmental sustainability and green technology at the University of Keele in England.
