A Guide to Energy Management in Buildings (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This new edition of A Guide to Energy Management in Buildings begins by asking why we need to control energy use in buildings and proceeds to discuss how the energy consumption of a building can be assessed or estimated through an energy audit. It then details a range of interventions to reduce energy use and outlines methods of assessing the cost effectiveness of such measures. This new edition includes coverage of cooling of buildings; fuel costs; smart meters and professional education. It should appeal to building managers and facilities managers and also to students of energy management modules in FE and HE courses.
