Updated to include recent advances, this third edition presents
strategies and analysis methods for conserving energy and reducing
operating costs in residential and commercial buildings. The book
explores the latest approaches to measuring and improving energy
consumption levels, with calculation examples and Case Studies. It
covers field testing, energy simulation, and retrofit analysis of
existing buildings. It examines subsystems-such as lighting,
heating, and cooling-and techniques needed for accurately
evaluating them. Auditors, managers, and students of energy systems
will find this book to be an invaluable resource for their work.
Explores state-of-the-art techniques and technologies for reducing
energy combustion in buildings. Presents the latest energy
efficiency strategies and established methods for energy
estimation. Provides calculation examples that outline the
application of the methods described. Examines the major building
subsystems: lighting, heating, and air-conditioning. Addresses
large-scale retrofit analysis approaches for existing building
stocks. Introduces the concept of energy productivity to account
for the multiple benefits of energy efficiency for buildings.
Includes Case Studies to give readers a realistic look at energy
audits. Moncef Krarti has vast experience in designing, testing,
and assessing innovative energy efficiency and renewable energy
technologies applied to buildings. He graduated from the University
of Colorado with both MS and PhD in Civil Engineering. Prof. Krarti
directed several projects in designing energy-efficient buildings
with integrated renewable energy systems. He has published over
3000 technical journals and handbook chapters in various fields
related to energy efficiency, distribution generation, and
demand-side management for the built environment. Moreover, he has
published several books on building energy-efficient systems. Prof.
Krarti is Fellow member to the American Society for Mechanical
Engineers (ASME), the largest international professional society.
He is the founding editor of the ASME Journal of Sustainable
Buildings & Cities Equipment and Systems. Prof. Krarti has
taught several different courses related to building energy systems
for over 20 years in the United States and abroad. As a professor
at the University of Colorado, Prof. Krarti has been managing the
research activities of an energy management center at the school
with an emphasis on testing and evaluating the performance of
mechanical and electrical systems for residential and commercial
buildings. He has also helped the development of similar energy
efficiency centers in other countries, including Brazil, Mexico,
and Tunisia. In addition, Prof. Krarti has extensive experience in
promoting building energy technologies and policies overseas,
including the establishment of energy research centers, the
development of building energy codes, and the delivery of energy
training programs in several countries.
