Energy Conservation in Existing Buildings

Engineers and architects-here is your detailed, step-by-step guide for implementing a comprehensive energy conservation program for any existing building. Easy-to-use nomograms, tables and figures speed you through otherwise difficult calculations, and show you how to identify specific energy conservation opportunities. You'll see examples of all the documents you'll need to record and tabulate your survey data for easy assessment. You'll find out what specific areas of the building offer energy conservation potential, including lighting systems, the building envelope, the distribution system, HVAC equipment, the domestic water system, and the power system. The final chapter presents a model building energy study which takes you through each phase of program implementation.Thumann, Albert is the author of 'Energy Conservation in Existing Buildings', published 1991 under ISBN 9780881731385 and ISBN 0881731382.
