Energy

Management, supply and conservation

Beggs, C; 2009

This is a comprehensive text dealing with the theory and practice of the supply of energy, energy management and auditing and the design of sustainable energy facilities. It considers the systems needed to create low-energy, sustainable buildings, including passive solar design, energy-efficient heating and air-conditioning and combined heat and power. In addition the book includes sections on renewable energy, transport energy and energy economics and includes the latest in alternate-energy technology, for example wind turbines and solar panels.
