In the climate-controlled buildings of today, moisture problems affect not only the useable life expectancy of the structure, but the comfort and health of the occupants. This reference is the first to apply up-to-date moisture control and treatment techniques in a problem/solution format. Opening with an introductory explanation of the nature and causes of mold, mildew, and condensation, the book gives specific advice on heated, cooled, and combination environments, plus a short course in the dynamics of moisture movement within buildings. Other invaluable coverage includes:

• clear, detailed recommended practices for all United States climates
• practices for cooling as well as heating climates (often, heating climate solutions are applied in cooling climates, where problems and solutions are completely different)
• an overall, systematic view of moisture problems—including how mechanical systems and occupant lifestyles can create and also resolve moisture problems
• actual case studies of buildings with moisture problems that illustrate the principles and practices presented in the book

Fur die Berechnung von Baukonstruktionen sind Lastannahmen zu treffen und die Einwirkungen auf das Bauwerk zu untersuchen. Je nach verwendetem Material unterscheidet man Stahlbeton- und Spannbetonbau nach DIN, Beton nach EN, Stahlbau, Holzbau und Mauerwerk. Hierfur werden die gultigen Normen und Richtlinien erlautert.

Do It Yourself installation instructions for installing a geothermal heat pump's horizontal earth loop. Ten years ago geojerry learned about the problems that contractors have with installing geothermal heat pumps and is trying to educate the potential geothermal customer so they can get a correctly sized, designed, and installed geothermal heat pump system. Here are the chapters in the book; Page 9 Chapter One Be Smart And Do Not Guess What Size Earth Loop You Need Page 12 Chapter Two Horizontal Loop Location And Layout Page 17 Chapter Three Horizontal Loop Trench Excavation Page 23 Chapter Four Installing A Slinky Earth Loop Page 29 Chapter Five Installing The Earth Loop Soaker Line Page 31 Chapter Six Basement Wall Penetration Page 34 Chapter Seven Earth Loop Floor Or Slab Penetration Page 40 Chapter Eight Installing Earth Loop Manifolds Inside The Basement Page 45 Chapter Nine Pressure Testing For Leaks Page 49 Chapter Ten Backfilling The Trenches Page 52 Chapter Eleven Connecting Your Earth Loop Manifolds To Your Circulating Pump/s Or Flow Center AND To Your Geothermal Heat Pump Page 56 Chapter Twelve How To Flush And Fill Your Earth Loop And Add Propylene Glycol Antifreeze To It Page 63 Chapter Thirteen How To Pressurize Your Earth Loop Page 70 Chapter Fourteen How To Calculate The Energy Efficiency Of Your Geothermal Heat Pump... Calculating The COP And The EER Of Your Geothermal Heat Pump This book does not tell the DIY customer how to size and/or design the horizontal earth loop, but it has the information needed to get their horizontal earth loop correctly installed. It has instructions for the installation of one pipe per trench earth loop or a slinky earth loop. Geojerry has sized and designed thousands of earth loops for geothermal heat pump systems and you can get your complete system sized and designed at geojerry.com
