Excellent Book
This is a phenomenal book on improving the operations of apartment buildings. Real estate investors could benefit from this book a great deal. An apartment property is nothing but a business that generates revenues and incurs expenses. Expenses include items such as real estate taxes, property insurance, utilities, repairs, and maintenance.

This book is all about decreasing expenses by making the operations more efficient. When expenses are lower, net operating income is higher, making the property more valuable. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in investing or managing apartment properties.

The book includes research on a broad range of GIS techniques useful over a range of spatial and temporal scales. An interactive CD is provided to help readers work through examples and data.

Product Description
Technological change plays a crucial role in realizing energy efficiency improvements and, therefore, in ameliorating the conflict between economic growth and environmental quality. However, the diffusion of new technologies can prove a costly and lengthy process, meaning that many firms do not invest in best-practice technologies. The author offers important new explanations for this energy-efficiency paradox.

This volume contributes to a better understanding of the interplay between economic growth, energy use and technological change, with particular emphasis on the adoption and diffusion of energy-saving technologies. In the theoretical section, the author examines how several characteristics of technological change and environmental policy affect the dynamics of technology choice. He demonstrates how technological complementarity, learning processes and uncertainty can help explain why the innovation and diffusion of new technologies is such a protracted and complex procedure. The empirical section explores long-run trends in energy and labor productivity performance, as well as patterns of substitutability and technological change across a range of OECD countries. The book concludes by integrating the results in an applied policy model of economy-energy interaction. ... Read more

Product Description
The authors estimated energy efficiency by means ofenergy intensity measures controlled for sectoral composition and energyprices, among other factors. Using this estimate, they address the publicbenefits of energy efficiency improvements in the industrial and commercialsectors to Washington state's economy from 1977 to 1997. They found thatdeclines in energy intensity have been associated with increased economicgrowth, improved air quality, and direct benefits to Washington residents. ... Read more
