Efficient energy management and effective conservation procedures
have been very important considerations for our society for many
years. An oil embargo in the 1970s and early 1980s brought about a
new awareness of energy conservation. Because of various factors
like loss of tax credits and efficiency standards imposed by the
government, public interest dropped considerably in regard to
energy conservation. A revival in energy conservation among the
general public occurred following the Persian Gulf War in the early
1990s. What does the 21st century hold? Conflicts in the Middle
East, high prices for petroleum, and increasing population
worldwide will all be significant influences on energy and its
conservation. Considerable discussion of climate change, global
warming, and increased concerns in regard to our electricity supply
have provided motivation for building energy demand to be more
flexible. Energy Management and Conservation, Fourth Edition,
provides a very practical discussion of how energy can be managed
and saved in most types of buildings. This edition not only updates
the previous edition but adds updated content concerning energy
cost reduction/going green to improve the environment. The authors
of this book have written several books that use the systems
approach. Through the use of the systems approach, the reader will
be able to grasp how different parts of a building fit together to
form a unit that uses energy efficiently. This text provides a
thorough and practical discussion of the operation of systems that
are found in most types of buildings. Each system is discussed with
energy management and conservation in mind/going green to save
money and improve the environment. There are many ways to manage a
building to accomplish efficient energy conservation. Several of
the chapters have checklists at the end to summarize ways of
conserving energy that relate to the chapter. Important changes in
this edition include coverage of governmental requirements from
agencies such as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), United
States Department of Energy (USDOE), and American Society of
Refrigerating, Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineering (ASHRAE),
updated as of 2022 standards. Instrumentation updates include types
of sensors and the concept of "smart" devices such as meters.
Addition of computer building maintenance management systems and
new updates for renewable energy resources are included.
Enhancements to existing systems content (such as variable
frequency drives for pumps) have been carefully added.
