Energy Management and Operating Costs in Buildings (Paperback)

This work seeks to introduce the reader to the principles of managing and conserving energy consumption in a variety of buildings occupied by people going about their daily work or leisure. It considers energy consumption in the provision of space heating, hot water supply ventilation and air conditioning and it discusses the use and application of Degree Days and the determination of heat gains within the building. The volume introduces the use of performance indicators, consumption yardsticks and carbon dioxide emission yardsticks. Following an introduction to the preparation of the energy audit, monitoring and targeting techniques are investigated and analyzed. The reader is not expected to have prior knowledge of the design of building services. Each chapter of the book is set out with the nomenclature used, an introduction, worked examples and case studies and data and text appropriate to the topic; it concludes with a chapter closure which identifies the skills and competences acquired.
