Energy Efficient Buildings A complete and authoritative discussion
of the fundamentals of designing and engineering energy efficient
buildings In Energy Efficient Buildings: Fundamentals of Building
Science and Thermal Systems, distinguished engineer and architect
Dr. John Zhai delivers a comprehensive exploration of the design
and engineering fundamentals of energy efficient buildings. The
book introduces the fundamental knowledge, calculations, analyses,
and principles used by designers of energy efficient buildings and
addresses all essential elements of the discipline. An essential
guide for students studying civil, architectural, mechanical, and
electrical engineering with a focus on energy, building systems,
and building science, the book provides practical in-class
materials, examples, and actual design practices, as well as
end-of-chapter questions (with solutions) and sample group
projects. Readers will find: A thorough introduction to the
cross-disciplinary approach to the design of energy efficient
buildings Comprehensive explorations of all critical elements of
energy efficient building design, including standards and codes,
psychometrics, microclimate, thermal comfort, indoor air quality,
HVAC systems, and more In-depth discussions of the foundational
knowledge, calculations, analysis, and principles needed to design
energy efficient buildings Practical in-class examples and
end-of-chapter questions with solutions for students, and design
guidance and sample group projects for use in course lectures and
actual design practices. Perfect for graduate and advanced
undergraduate students studying building environmental systems,
building systems in construction, and mechanical and electrical
systems in construction, Energy Efficient Buildings: Fundamentals
of Building Science and Thermal Systems will also earn a place in
the libraries of practicing civil, architectural, and mechanical
engineers.
