Handbook of Energy Engineering, Sixth Edition

Covering the latest codes, standards, and the Energy Independence and Security Act, this edition includes information on software packages from the Best Practices Program of the US Department of Energy and emerging technologies such as oxy-fuel combustion, high efficiency burners, enhanced heat exchangers, and ceramic membranes for heat recovery. This reference shows how to apply 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. Topics include electrical system optimization; state-of-the-art lighting and lighting controls; thermal storage; cogeneration; and compressed air systems.
