Managing the consumption and conservation of energy in buildings must now become the concern of both building managers and occupants. The provision of lighting, hot water supply, communications, cooking, space heating and cooling accounts for 45 per cent of UK energy consumption. Energy Management and Operating Costs in Buildings introduces the reader to the principles of managing and conserving energy consumpton in buildings people use for work or leisure. Energy consumption is considered for the provision of space heating, hot water, supply ventilation and air conditioning. The author introduces the use of standard performance indicators and energy consumption yardsticks, and discusses the use and application of degree days.
Managing the consumption and conservation of energy in buildings is
the concern of both building managers and occupants, and this use
accounts for about half of UK energy consumption. The need to
manage this has been given new emphasis by the introduction of the
Climate Change Levy in April 2002.
Managing the consumption and conservation of energy in buildings is the concern of both building managers and occupants, and this use accounts for about half of UK energy consumption. The need to manage this has been given new emphasis by the introduction of the Climate Change Levy in April 2002. Energy Management and Operating Costs in Buildings introduces students and energy managers to the principles of managing and conserving energy consumption in buildings people use for work or leisure. Energy consumption is considered for the provision of space heating, hot water, supply ventilation and air conditioning. The author introduces the use of standard performance indicators and energy consumption yardsticks, and discusses the use and application of degree days. This new edition includes two new chapters on Current Regulations and Environmental Impact of building services. It closely follows recent bench marking published by CIBSE and the Defra energy efficiency Best Practice Programme, and covers three quarters of Unit 18 in the new HND in building services engineering.
This work seeks to introduce the reader to the principles of managing and conserving energy consumption in a variety of buildings occupied by people going about their daily work or leisure. It considers energy consumption in the provision of space heating, hot water supply ventilation and air conditioning and it discusses the use and application of Degree Days and the determination of heat gains within the building. The volume introduces the use of performance indicators, consumption yardsticks and carbon dioxide emission yardsticks. Following an introduction to the preparation of the energy audit, monitoring and targeting techniques are investigated and analyzed. The reader is not expected to have prior knowledge of the design of building services. Each chapter of the book is set out with the nomenclature used, an introduction, worked examples and case studies and data and text appropriate to the topic; it concludes with a chapter closure which identifies the skills and competences acquired.
This fully revised second edition of Keith Moss's text gives comprehensive coverage of the design of heating and water services in buildings. Each chapter starts with the information needed to understand the specific area, and this is then reinforced by many examples and case studies with worked solutions. Mathematics and the principles of fluids are introduced as core skills where they are required as part of the design solution. New material is provided on chimneys, fossil fuel combustion, electrical heating and group and district heating. Students, whether on HNC, HND and degree courses, should find this book useful.
Written in an easy to follow, easy to understand way, Holy Overcomers is designed to help the serious believer in Christ to find an abundant life, earn Kingdom rewards, and walk a Holy life. Taking hold of the commands of God, and walking them out in life. Key things pointed out. Truth from the Bible that most people miss.
