Résumé

Managing the consumption and conservation of energy in buildings is the concern of both building managers and occupants, and this energy use in buildings accounts for about half of UK's energy consumption. The need to manage this has been given new emphasis by the introduction of the Climate Change Levy in April 2002.

Energy Management in Buildings introduces students and energy managers to the principles of managing and conserving energy consumption in buildings people use for work or leisure. Energy consumption is considered for the provision of space heating, hot water supply, ventilation and air-conditioning. The author introduces the use of standard performance indicators and energy consumption yardsticks, and discusses the use and application of degree days.

This new edition includes two new chapters on current regulations and environmental impact of building services. It closely follows recent bench marking published by CIBSE and the DEFRA energy efficiency Best Practice Programme, and covers three quarters of Unit 18 in the new HND in building services engineering. Examples in the earlier chapters of the first edition have been updated in this one, and further examples introduced to provide a more comprehensive coverage of this important subject.
