While researchers work overtime to create new technologies and methods
of providing energy, it is critical that modern industry makes the most
efficient use of the energy that is currently available. The Energy
Management and Conservation Handbook offers expert guidance on the
planning and design of .green. technologies. It focuses on management
strategies for better utilization of energy in buildings and industry
as well as ways of improving energy efficiency at the end use. Renowned
authorities from around the globe share insights and modern points of
view on a broad spectrum of topics.

Summarizing proven energy efficient technologies in the building sector,
the book includes examples that highlight the cost-effectiveness of some
of these technologies. It introduces basic methods for designing and
sizing cost-effective systems and determining whether it is economically
efficient to invest in specific energy efficiency or renewable energy
projects. It provides guidance for computing measures of economic
performance for relatively simple investment choices and the fundamentals
for dealing with complex investment decisions. The book also describes
energy audit producers commonly used to improve the energy efficiency of
residential and commercial buildings as well as industrial facilities.

After developing the basics of HVAC control, the book explores operational
needs for successfully maintained operations. It describes the essentials
of control systems for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning of
buildings designed for energy conserving operation. The book also defines
demand-side management, covers its role in integrated resource planning,
and delineates the main elements of its programs. The book demonstrates
these concepts with case studies of successful demand-side management
programs. These features and more provide the tools necessary to improve
energy management leading to higher energy efficiencies.
