Imperatives for an energy -- efficient built environment -- The design process -- Generic design strategies for low-carbon buildings -- Post-occupancy evaluation for optimal energy and environmental performance -- Energy efficient ventilation -- Air conditioning systems -- Cooling, heating and thermal energy distribution systems in buildings -- Low energy approaches for the thermal control of buildings -- Electrical systems, controls and metering -- Building thermal load calculations -- Building electric power load assessment -- Space planning for services.
The role and influence of building services engineers is undergoing rapid change and is pivotal to achieving low-carbon buildings. However, textbooks in the field have largely focused on the detailed technicalities of HVAC systems, often with little wider context. This book addresses that need by embracing a contemporary understanding of energy efficiency imperatives, together with a strategic approach to the key design issues impacting upon carbon performance, in a concise manner.
