An air conditioning system consists of components and equipment arranged in sequential order to control and maintain an indoor environment. The goal is to provide a healthy and comfortable climate with acceptable air quality while being energy efficient and cost effective. Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering covers all types of systems from institutional and commercial to residential.
The book supplies the basics of design, from selecting the optimum system and equipment to preparing the drawings and specifications. It discusses the four phases of preparing a project: gathering information, developing alternatives, evaluating alternatives, and selling the best solution. In addition, the author breaks down the responsibilities of the engineer, design documents, computer aided design, and government codes and standards.
Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering provides you with an easy reference to all aspects of the topic. This resource addresses the most current areas of interest, such as computer-aided design and drafting, desiccant air conditioning and energy conservation. It is a thorough and convenient guide to air conditioning and refrigeration engineering.

Role of radiant panel heating and cooling in net zero energy buildings.(Report): An article from: ASHRAE Transactions

Role of radiant panel heating and cooling in net zero energy buildings.(Report): An article from: ASHRAE Transactions Review

This digital document is an article from ASHRAE Transactions, published by American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. on January 1, 2011. The length of the article is 3917 words. The page length shown above is based on a typical 300-word page. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available immediately after purchase.

From the author: For a successful and sustainable net-zero energy building, a careful match and balance between the supply exergy and demand exergy is essential. Especially in low-exergy buildings, radiant panels offer unique advantages primarily due to their moderate temperature and particularly low-exergy demands. A parametric study is included in the presentation in order to better quantify the benefits of radiant panel systems in view of energy and exergy benefits. A new solar tri-generation system is presented, which acts like a solar PV on the outside and acts as panel cooling in the inside. This system replaces non-load bearing external wall elements and offer substantial energy and carbon emission efficiencies.

Sustainable Solar Housing: Volume 1 - Strategies and Solutions (Vol. 1)

Sustainable Solar Housing: Volume 1 - Strategies and Solutions (Vol. 1) Review

See more picture

This far-reaching and authoritative two-volume set examines a range of potential solutions for low-energy building design, considering different strategies (energy conservation and renewable energy) and technologies (relating to the building envelope, ventilation, heat delivery, heat production, heat storage, electricity and control). Energy and life-cycle impacts are considered as crucial factors, including passive and active solar use, daylighting and high efficiency conventional heat production. Each volume assesses the potential of these options in a variety of contexts, covering different housing types (apartment, row and detached) in cold, temperate and mild climates. The impressive list of expert authors from 14 countries includes a mix of internationally respected academics and practitioners, working together within the framework of a five-year International Energy Agency (IEA) research project. Volume 1 presents strategies and solutions, offering the reader a solid basis for developing concepts, considering environmental and economic concerns for housing projects in a variety of contexts. Volume 2 offers a detailed analysis of exemplary buildings in different European countries and examines the various technologies employed to achieve their remarkable performance. Aided by clear, full colour illustrations, it offers invaluable insights into the application of these technologies.
