Energy Management in Buildings cover

The role of the energy manager has evolved significantly as the task of cutting greenhouse gas emissions from buildings has become increasingly important. Managers are now technical experts, negotiators, construction project managers, procurement specialists, efficiency advocates and often provide energy services to others.

This comprehensive book covers how to:

• conduct an energy audit

• plan a monitoring and verification strategy

• make any energy-saving campaign successful

• evaluate and make the financial case for energy-saving measures

• make use of free energy for lighting and managing heat loss and gain.

It also contains special chapters on:

• ventilation, heating and cooling

• demand management through automated systems

• lighting

• most requirements of industrial facilities

• regulatory requirements in Britain, Europe and the United States

• the use of smart meters and monitoring

• how to achieve zero energy buildings

• the use of renewable energy.

For all professional energy, building and facilities managers, energy consultants, students, trainees and academics. It takes the reader from basic concepts to the latest advanced thinking, with principles applicable anywhere in the world and in any climate.

'Provides a complete introduction to the subject of energy management, and will, I'm sure, be useful to both trainees and novices and industry veterans seeking an updating of their knowledge with the latest developments. David is a clear writer, who manages to make the most technical subjects accessible. He has a clear overview of all sectors and technologies.' - Nick Bent, Editor of Energy Focus Magazine
