Quantifying exergy losses in the energy supply system of buildings
reveals the potential for energy improvement, which cannot be
discovered using conventional energy analysis. Thermoeconomics
combines economic and thermodynamic analysis by applying the
concept of cost (an economic concept) to exergy, as exergy is a
thermodynamic property fit for this purpose, in that it combines
the quantity of energy with its quality factor. Exergy Analysis and
Thermoeconomics of Buildings applies exergy analysis methods and
thermoeconomics to the built environment. The mechanisms of heat
transfer throughout the envelope of buildings are analyzed from an
exergy perspective and then to the building thermal installations,
analyzing the different components, such as condensing boilers,
absorption refrigerators, microcogeneration plants, etc., including
solar installations and finally the thermal facilities as a whole.
A detailed analysis of the cost formation process is presented,
which has its physical roots firmly planted in the second law of
thermodynamics. The basic principles and the rules of cost
allocation, in energy units (exergy cost), in monetary units
(exergoeconomic cost), and in CO2 emissions (exergoenvironmental
cost), based on the so-called Exergy Cost Theory are presented and
applied to thermal installations of buildings. Clear and rigorous
in its exposition, Exergy Analysis and Thermoeconomics of Buildings
discusses exergy analysis and thermoeconomics and the role they
could play in the analysis and design of building components,
either the envelope or the thermal facilities, as well as the
diagnosis of thermal installations. This book moves progressively
from introducing the basic concepts to applying them. Exergy
Analysis and Thermoeconomics of Buildings provides examples of
specific cases throughout this book. These cases include real data,
so that the results obtained are useful to interpret the
inefficiencies and losses that truly occur in actual installations;
hence, the assessment of their effects encourages the manner to
improve efficiency.
