Abstract: "Newly updated, this comprehensive reference includes a new chapter on codes, standards, and legislation and also a new chapter on compressed air. This book will guide you step by step in applying the principles of energy engineering and management to the design of electrical, HVAC, utility, process and building systems for both new design and retrofit projects. You will learn how to do an energy analysis of any system. Detailed presentations cover electrical system optimization, state-of-the-art lighting and light control, thermal storage, cogeneration, HVAC system optimization, HVAC and building controls, computer technologies, and financing energy projects.
