Topics include distributed generation, energy auditing, rate structures, economic evaluation techniques, lighting efficiency improvement, HVAC optimization, combustion and use of industrial wastes, steam generation and distribution system performance, control systems and computers, energy systems maintenance, renewable energy, and industrial water management."--BOOK JACKET.

This new International Version includes all material covered in the standard eighth edition, but numerical data and calculations are expressed in Systeme International (SI) units. Completely revised, this latest edition includes new chapters on electrical systems; motors and drives; commissioning; and human behavior and facility energy management. Also updated are chapters on lighting, HVAC systems, web-based building automation, control systems, green buildings, and greenhouse gas management. Written by respected professionals, this book examines objectives of energy management and illustrates techniques proven effective for achieving results.

Written by three of the most respected energy professionals in the industry, this fifth edition of a bestseller is an energy manager's guide to the most important areas of energy cost cutting. It examines the core objectives of energy management and illustrates the latest and most effective strategies, techniques, and tools for improving lighting efficiency, combustion processes, steam generation/distribution, and industrial waste reutilization. The book thoroughly brings up to date such topics as energy system management, energy auditing, rate structures, economic evaluation, HVAC optimization, control systems and computers, process energy, renewable energy, and industrial water management.

This handbook covers both management and technical strategies which can be utilized to slash energy costs by as much as 40 per cent in industrial facilities. It includes strategies for establishing an effective energy conservation-oriented maintenance programme.

"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. The text is thoroughly illustrated with tables, graphs, diagrams, and sample problems with worked-out solutions."--BOOK JACKET.

Originally published two decades ago, the Energy Management Handbook has become recognized as the definitive stand-alone energy manager's desk reference, used by thousands of energy management professionals throughout the industry. Known as the bible of energy management, it has helped more energy managers reach their potential than any other resource. Completely revised and updated, the fifth edition includes new chapters on building commissioning and green buildings. You'll find in-depth coverage of every component of effective energy management, including boiler and steam system optimization, lighting and electrical systems, HVAC system performance, waste heat recovery, cogeneration, thermal energy storage, energy management control systems, energy systems maintenance, building envelope, industrial insulation, indoor air quality, energy economic analysis, energy procurement decision making, energy security and reliability, and overall energy management program organization. You'll also get the latest facts on utility deregulation, energy project financing, and in-house vs. outsourcing of energy services. The energy industry has change radically since the initial publication of this reference over 20 years ago. Looking back on the energy arena, one thing becomes clear: energy is the key element that must be managed to ensure a company's profitability. The Energy Management Handbook, Fifth Edition is the definitive reference to guide energy managers through the maze of changes the industry has experienced.

This guide examines practical applications and presents examples for conserving energy and reducing energy costs in commercial, institutional, and industrial plants and facilities. Registered Mechanical Engineer Mull provides an introduction to the basic scientific principles and economics of energy management. Then commonly-used energy-consuming equipment and systems are profiled. Some of the topics covered include steam and hydronic boilers, and pumping, chilled water, air distribution, HVAC, electrical, lighting, compressed air, refrigeration, heat recovery, cogeneration, energy management, and thermal storage systems. c.
