Download or read book Site Development Planning for Energy Management written by R. L. Wendt and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook assists DOE facilities managers, planners, and engineers in identifying and providing information for effective application of energy management strategies in site development decision making. The handbook does not take an advocacy position regarding any particular strategy but presents each, along with its anticipated benefits and liabilities, as an option for consideration. Areas where uncertainty exists regarding the likely energy performance are noted. The strategies identified in this handbook are not equally effective, simple to use or implement, or desirable for all installations. Therefore, they should be considered in light of local needs and opportunities to determine which strategies are most appropriate to a specific installation and what modifications to those strategies might be necessary.

Download or read book Heating Cooling Lighting written by Norbert Lechner and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable environmental control through building design Heating, Cooling, and Lighting is the industry standard text on environmental control systems with the emphasis on sustainable design. By detailing the many factors that contribute to the comfort in a building, this book helps architects minimize mechanical systems and energy usage over the life of the building by siting, building design, and landscaping to maximize natural heating, cooling, and lighting. This new fourth edition includes new information on integrated design strategies and designing for the Tropics. Resources include helpful case studies, checklists, diagrams, and a companion website featuring additional cases, an image bank, and instructor materials. Designing buildings that require less energy to heat, cool, and light means allowing the natural energy of the sun and wind to reduce the burden on the mechanical and electrical systems. Basic design decisions regarding size, orientation, and form have a great impact on the sustainability, cost, and comfort of a building. Heating, Cooling, and Lighting provides detailed guidance for each phase of a design project. Readers will: Understand the concept of sustainability as applied to energy sources Review the basic principles of thermal comfort, and the critical role of climate Learn the fundamentals of solar responsive design, including active and passive solar systems as well as photovoltaics Discover how siting, architectural design, and landscaping can reduce the requirements for mechanical and electrical systems In sustainable design, mechanical, and electrical systems should be used to only accomplish what the architect could not by the design of the building itself. With this in mind, designers require a comprehensive understanding of both the properties of energy and the human factors involved in thermal comfort. Heating, Cooling, and Lighting is the complete, industry-leading resource for designers interested in sustainable environmental control.

Download or read book Development of a Comprehensive Community Energy Management Plan for the City of Hobbs New Mexico written by The Center for Economic and Management Research, College of Business Administration and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project was to develop both a process and .a product. The process is important because very little is known about planning energy programs for local governments. While comprehensive planning techniques have been used to develop physical and socioeconomic plans in recent years, the methodology for planning an energy program for local government is almost unknown, and although the contract product of this research was a "Comprehensive Community Energy Management Plan for the City of Hobbs, New Mexico," a meaningful part of the research effort was the development of the process for evolvement of the product. The plans for the research have largely been followed without modification, resulting, hopefully, in a quantum increase in the state of the art for comprehensive community planning. The report initially provides an analysis of the community structure and the present energy system of Hobbs, New Mexico, and then draws conclusions from such information.
