This book comprises the proceedings of the International Conference
on Green Buildings and Sustainable Engineering (GBSE 2019), which
focused on the theme "Ecotechnological and Digital Solutions for
Smart Cities". The papers included address all aspects of green
buildings and sustainability practices in civil engineering, and
focus on ways and means of reducing pollution and degradation of
the environment through efficient usage of energy and water. The
book will prove a valuable reference resource for researchers,
practitioners, and policy makers.
The authors have tried to strike a balance between a short book
chapter and a very detailed book for subject experts. There are
three prime reasons behind for doing so: first, the field is quite
interdisciplinary and requires simplified presentation for a person
from non-parent discipline. The second reason for this
short-version of a full book is that both the authors have seen
students and technically oriented people, who were searching for
this type of book on hydro energy. The third reason and motivation
was considering engineers who are starting their career in hydro
energy sector. This book is targeted to present a good starting
background and basic understanding for such professionals.
The second edition of Building Energy Simulation includes studies
of various components and systems of buildings and their effect on
energy consumption, with the help of DesignBuilderTM, a front-end
for the EnergyPlus simulation engine, supported by examples and
exercises. The book employs a "learning by doing" methodology. It
explains simulation-input parameters and how-to-do analysis of the
simulation output, in the process explaining building physics and
energy simulation. Divided into three sections, it covers the
fundamentals of energy simulation followed by advanced topics in
energy simulation and simulation for compliance with building codes
and detailed case studies for comprehensive building energy
simulation. Features: Focuses on learning building energy
simulation while being interactive through examples and exercises.
Explains the building physics and the science behind the energy
performance of buildings. Encourages an integrated design approach
by explaining the interactions between various building systems and
their effect on energy performance of building. Discusses a how-to
model for building energy code compliance including three projects
to practice whole building simulation. Provides hands-on training
of building energy simulation tools: DesignBuilder (TM) and
EnergyPlus. Includes practical projects problems, appendices and
CAD files in the e-resources section. Building Energy Simulation is
intended for students and researchers in building energy courses,
energy simulation professionals, and architects.

This monograph addresses the needs of readers interested in wind
energy converters. The authors achieve to strike a balance between
a concise presentation of the material and a detailed book for
experts in the field. The book covers aspects such as design and
technical challenges of wind converters, but also policy issues as
well as life cycle assessment considerations. In the past few
decades, growth in the wind energy sector has been most phenomenal
among all renewable energy resources. In this context, it is nearly
universally agreed that wind energy can definitely play an
important part in ensuring a sustainable future.The topic is highly
interdisciplinary and requires an accessible format for
non-experts. Hence, this compact version is suitable for many
students and practitioners who intend to read concisely on wind
energy.

The present book was written to address the needs of those readers
interested in wind energy converters. The authors have tried to
strike a balance between a short book chapter and a very detailed
book for experts in the field. There were three prime reasons
behind doing so: first, the field is highly interdisciplinary and
requires a more accessible format for non-experts. The second
reason for this more compact version is that both authors have
encountered many students and technically oriented people who were
searching for this type of book on wind energy. The third reason
and motivation for writing this book was to provide some initial
information to people who are embarking on a career in the wind
industry. It is this group of people that the present book is
targeted at.

Performance of buildings depends upon building envelope, Heating
Ventilation and Air-conditioning system, lighting system, and
Domestic Hot Water services. This book gives idea to improve indoor
thermal environmental conditions by implementing Buildings Codes
such as Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) and ASHRAE 90.1
Standard. Building consumes about 40% of total energy and therefore
it is a need of time to improve their efficiency by employing codes
and others measures/techniques. Code compliance Building consume
less than 40% of energy compare to conventional practiced
buildings. Thermal adaptation itself offer additional savings of
about 16% in small buildings and it reduces as increase in building
footprint and internal load of the building.
