The evolution of total quality management has had a great dissemination in the last decades, especially for the adoption of management systems standard. Given that the issues of energy is increasing to a greater extent in the recent years, ISO develops ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EnMS). \n ISO 50001 standard was published on July 2011 and it has grown significantly worldwide ever since. This standard is expected to give a big impact in energy management and it is estimated that the standard could influence up to 60 % of the world’s energy use. ISO 50001 established a framework for energy management systems, not only for industrial plants but also for commercial, institutional, governmental facilities; and entire organizations.\n This book summarizes the results of a study conducted by the University of Girona (UdG) and University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) aimed at analyzing the impact of ISO 50001 standard in Spain. \n\n

For over one hundred years, the International Critical Commentary series has held a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis — linguistic and textual no less than archaeological, historical, literary and theological—with a level of comprehension and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series. No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought. The first paperback editions to be published cover the heart of the New Testament, providing a wealth of information and research in accessible and attractive format.

While our cities are full of incredible engineering feats, most of us live with little idea of what goes into creating the built environment, let alone how a new building goes up, what it is built upon, or how it remains standing. In this book, Roma Agrawal uncovers the astonishing science behind her profession. Each of the eight chapters will tackle a great engineering challenge - how we keep a building from falling down or how a bridge is built to span vast distances - explaining solutions from modern times, while reaching back to the Romans and other ancient cultures who developed techniques still used today. Interweaving science, history, illustrations, and personal stories, Built offers a fascinating window into a subject that makes up the foundation of our everyday lives.
