To reduce the wasted energy, Wulfinghoff suggests installing a telltale light such as a toggle light that can be seen from the switch's location. It has information for all businesses, institutions, industrial plants, farms, and the home as well as the latest technology and methods. Efficiency improvements cover boiler and chiller plants, service water and air handling systems, energy sources and management tools, and artificial lighting and sunlight. Besides the energy suggestions, the book also provides the savings potential, estimated cost, and payback period. Wulfinghoff presents the information you need to plan, design, and construct efficient energy systems in homes, businesses, institutions, factories, farms, and other buildings.
Nontechnical language is used throughout and terms are explained and illustrated when appropriate.
Thus, the volume will appeal to a wide audience of users who are involved in building maintenance and those who just want to read it and learn more about energy conservation concep ts. The Manual is arranged in two parts. The measures are arranged under 10 sections covering boiler plants, chiller plants, service water systems, air handling systems, air conditioning systems, building air leakage, building insulation, control and use of sunlight, artificial lighting, and independent components such as motors and pumps. Since many energy projects serve several parts of a building or facility, readers will find practical solutions to all their energy efficiency questions in this section. I chose some entries at random and was impressed with the wide coverage of nearly all aspects of energy design.
