Energy management systems are used to monitor building temperature inside and outside buildings and control the boilers and coolers. Energy efficiency is a major cost issue for commerce and industry and of growing importance on university syllabuses. Fully revised and updated, this text considers new developments in the control of low energy and HVAC systems and contains two new chapters. Written for practising engineers (essential for control engineers) and energy managers in addition to being essential reading for under/postgraduate courses in building services and environmental engineering.

ISBN:

This handbook assists DOE facilities managers, planners, and engineers in identifying and providing information for effective application of energy management strategies in site development decision making. The handbook does not take an advocacy position regarding any particular strategy but presents each, along with its anticipated benefits and liabilities, as an option for consideration. Areas where uncertainty exists regarding the likely energy performance are noted. The strategies identified in this handbook are not equally effective, simple to use or implement, or desirable for all installations. Therefore, they should be considered in light of local needs and opportunities to determine which strategies are most appropriate to a specific installation and what modifications to those strategies might be necessary.

America's economy and lifestyles have been shaped by the low prices and availability of energy. In the last decade, however, the prices of oil, natural gas, and coal have increased dramatically, leaving consumers and the industrial and service sectors looking for ways to reduce energy use. To achieve greater energy efficiency, we need technology, more informed consumers and producers, and investments in more energy-efficient industrial processes, businesses, residences, and transportation. As part of the America's Energy Future project, Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States examines the potential for reducing energy demand through improving efficiency by using existing technologies, technologies developed but not yet utilized widely, and prospective technologies. The book evaluates technologies based on their estimated times to initial commercial deployment, and provides an analysis of costs, barriers, and research needs. This quantitative characterization of technologies will guide policy makers toward planning the future of energy use in America. This book will also have much to offer to industry leaders, investors, environmentalists, and others looking for a practical diagnosis of energy efficiency possibilities.
