This book provides readers with essential knowledge enabling the
successful design of today's new energy efficient HVAC systems. The
author introduces important concepts such as Knowledge
Categorization, Performance Based Design Standards, and
Quantification of Uncertainty in Energy Modeling for Buildings.
Pivotal topics that all HVAC and architectural engineers must
master in order to navigate the green building renaissance are
given focused attention, including the role of renewables, air
quality, automatic controls, and thermal comfort. Relevant ASHRAE
standards, as well as sustainability scoring systems such as
BREEAM, HQE, LEED and CASBEE are explained in depth. Armed with the
material contained in this practical reference, students and
practitioners alike will become more effective and prepared for
engineering success.
This book focuses on some of the most energy-consuming HVAC
systems; illuminating huge opportunities for energy savings in
buildings that operate with these systems. The main discussion is
on, cutting-edge decision making approaches, and algorithms in:
decision making under uncertainty, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic,
artificial neural networks, agent based modeling, and game theory.
These methods are applied to HVAC systems, in order to help
designers select the best options among the many available pathways
for designing and the building of HVAC systems and applications.
The discussion further evolves to depict how the buildings of the
future can incorporate these advanced decision-making algorithms to
become autonomous and truly 'smart'.
