This long-awaited reference guide provides a complete overview of
low energy cooling systems for buildings, covering a wide range of
existing and emerging sustainable energy technologies in one
comprehensive volume. An excellent data source on cooling
performance, such as building loads or solar thermal chiller
efficiencies, it is essential reading for building services and
renewable energy engineers and researchers covering sustainable
design.
The book is unique in including a large set of experimental
results from years of monitoring actual building and energy plants,
as well as detailed laboratory and simulation analyses. These
demonstrate which systems really work in buildings, what the real
costs are and how operation can be optimized - crucial information
for planners, builders and architects to gain confidence in
applying new technologies in the building sector.
Inside you will find valuable insights into: the energy demand
of residential and office buildings;facades and summer performance
of buildings;passive cooling strategies;geothermal cooling;active
thermal cooling technologies, including absorption cooling,
desiccant cooling and new developments in low power
chillers;sustainable building operation using simulation.
Supporting case study material makes this a useful text for
senior undergraduate students on renewable and sustainable energy
courses. Practical and informative, it is the best up-to-date
volume on the important and rapidly growing area of cooling.
