Air Distribution in Buildings is a concise and practical guide to
air distribution system design and managing air conditioning
systems in buildings. Making use of 40 years of experience in the
design of air conditioning and ventilations systems, and other
electromechanical services, this structured reference for built
environment engineering offers in-depth coverage of air
distribution technology. The text brings together a wide range of
information and offers technical guidance on the design,
calculation, and efficient operation of air distribution in
buildings. The text highlights the special characteristics of air
distribution in individual spaces. It presents the basic and
fundamental concepts of air distribution as it relates to grilles
and outlets, room space, and buildings. It focuses on air
distribution systems in large buildings, starting with simple rooms
and then moving on to more complex configurations. It also sums up
the latest standards and best practices in air conditioning
engineering. Includes knowledge of the new trends in buildings' air
distribution Provides systematic analyses of the air flow regimes,
heat transfer, and relative humidity in a collection of special
built environments Presents energy analyses of the air conditioning
systems for operating theaters and sporting facilities in unusual
and severe climatic conditions Offers a description of flow
characteristics in archeological monuments with emphasis on
combating excessive moisture Introduces examples of very dense
occupancy built environments, moisture sensitive environments, and
open space air conditioning Details advanced treatment of flow
characterization in large public buildings This text serves as an
ideal resource for air conditioning engineers, contractors, and
consultants. It also benefits mechanical and architectural
engineering students.
This book addresses smoke management in enclosures and provides a
platform for understanding the principles of smoke propagation and
spread, heat release rate, and the effect of sprinklers on
suppression. Considering how sprinkler systems have become a vital
part of firefighting systems in enclosures, the book evaluates the
effect of sprinkler activation on the behavior of fire-induced
smoke and the interaction of water particles with the smoke layer.
It studies two base case models where the sprinklers' effect on the
fire curve was considered. This base case was assessed with two
smoke extraction systems, namely, a ducted system and an impulse
ventilation system. By focusing on key elements, such as
visibility, ceiling height, and fire curve, the results of the
study will be of interest to mechanical engineers, HVAC
professionals, and fire safety professionals and investigators.
Features Includes case models and scenarios to evaluate real
examples from different applications Studies the effect of
sprinkler activation on the behavior of fire-induced smoke Explores
various factors, such as ceiling height, sprinkler operating
pressure, and fire curve Discusses the interaction of water
particles with the smoke layer Utilizes Pyrosim software for CFD
modeling

Energy Efficiency in the Urban Environment is a study of energy
crisis, urbanisation, and climate change, as well as a discussion
of how to combat these global challenges. With a special focus on
Egypt, this book addresses the macroscale of urbanism from the
perspective of city dwellers' quality of life, and explores the
microscale of buildings and the perspective of ensuring indoor air
quality within the boundaries of energy efficiency. Offering an
integrated view of energy systems and urban planning supported by
extensive data, references, and case studies, this text: Examines
the energy efficiency performance of cities following sustainable
urbanism principles Investigates how informal areas in developing
countries achieve sustainable development Presents energy-efficient
urban planning as a tool for improving city energy performance
Proposes the development of a common procedure for obtaining an
energy performance certificate Calculates the energy performance of
buildings, accounting for heating/cooling systems and other
variables Energy Efficiency in the Urban Environment demonstrates
the importance of implementing an energy performance directive to
aid energy savings in large buildings and set regulations for
energy-efficient designs based on standard calculation methods.
This book provides engineers working with sustainable energy
systems, urban planners needing information on energy systems and
optimisation, and professors and students of engineering,
environmental science, and urban planning with a valuable reference
on energy sustainability.
