heal.abstract	The depletion of energy (exergy) resources has been of primary concern in the '70s and '80s. In recent years, the decline of the environment due primarily to our energy-related activities has become severe and raises serious concern too. For this reason, methods to analyze, improve and optimize energy-intensive systems have to deal not only with energy (exergy) consumption and economics, but also with the pollution and degradation of the environment. The term environomics is coined in order to imply the systematic consideration of thermodynamic, economic and environmental aspects for the analysis and optimization of energy systems. A method developed for this purpose, the Environomic Functional Approach is presented in its general formulation. Each pollutant emitted by the system is indicated in the functional diagram. If abatement of a pollutant takes place, a degree of abatement is defined and the related equipment appears in the diagram. Measures of pollution are introduced. The environomic objective function for system optimization is formulated and the solution procedure is described. Some general conclusions are drawn. An application example based on a simple gas turbine plant is formulated and solved.	en
