Handbook of Energy Efficiency in Buildings: A Life Cycle Approach offers a comprehensive and in-depth coverage of the subject with a further focus on the Life Cycle. The editors, renowned academics, invited a diverse group of researchers to develop original chapters for the book and managed to well integrate all contributions in a consistent volume. Sections cover the role of the building sector on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, international technical standards, laws and regulations, building energy efficiency and zero energy consumption buildings, the life cycle assessment of buildings, from construction to decommissioning, and other timely topics. The multidisciplinary approach to the subject makes it valuable for researchers and industry based Civil, Construction, and Architectural Engineers. Researchers in related fields as built environment, energy and sustainability at an urban scale will also benefit from the books integrated perspective. Presents a complete and thorough coverage of energy efficiency in buildings Provides an integrated approach to all the different elements that impact energy efficiency Contains coverage of worldwide regulation
Draws on a wide range of European experiences to analyze and evaluate the weaknesses of current energy conservation policies, and advance proposals designed to ensure that political, administrative, and energy conservation resources are used to maximum effect. Examines grants and subsidies to encourage investment in conserving energy in domestic and public buildings, information to inform householders of their conservation options and their implications, regulation to encourage the use of combined heating power, demand-side management by utility companies, and institutional development as a means of engendering bottom-up conservation initiatives. Based on a research project funded by the European Commission. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Practical Guide to Energy Conservation & Management propels you to pluck the low hanging fruits of energy conservation in your industry. Until now, though the fruits are visible to you, you thought that they are beyond your hands’ reach. Having done Energy Audits in more than four hundreds of industries with the BEE certification and guidance from their Guide Books, I suggest to the Field Engineers that there is plenty of scope for Energy Conservation by the condition-monitoring approach in your utility and production departments. This book will be an eye-opener for you, to instantly reduce the energy losses happening for many years and in turn, this will restore your productivity, thus giving you a pleasant surprise. The three stages of accepting results of the Energy Study – Shock, Relief and, finally, Delight! When you have implemented energy conservation, first you will be shocked to discover the amount of energy losses overall these years. Today you feel a relief that you have reduced those losses. Tomorrow will be a delight to your team to visualize the reduction in energy consumption. This book will guide you to achieve energy conservation easily, instantly, smoothly and cost-effectively.
Any attempts to control the greenhouse effect will involve reducing carbon dioxide emissions and therefore requires energy efficiency. Victor Anderson analyses ways in which energy can be used more economically and discusses effective policies for promoting this. Specific case studies are used to illustrate previous attempts to introduce policies aimed at reducing consumption of energy and offers a practical and topical guide to tackling the effects of global warming in the future.

This paper comes from a project designed to assist central and eastern Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries to enhance their energy efficiency and security, to ease the energy supply constraints of economic transition and to meet international environmental treaty obligations under the UN FCCC and the UN ECE. Reducing the energy efficiency 'gap' by half would save 600 million tones of oil equivalent in year 2010 of which 90 per cent would be fossil fuels. Central and Eastern European economies are half as efficient as those of market economies. This paper, which was produced jointly by the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE), aims to provide some suggestions for policy makers in the CIS for development of policies and regulatory frameworks for promotion of energy efficiency. The guidelines presented have been discussed and endorsed by the ECE Committee on Sustainable Development at its ninth session, 9-11 November 1999. The impetus for the guidelines was a recommendation made at a 1996 regional seminar on promotion of energy efficiency and institution building in Asian economies in transition conducted by ESCAP with participation by ECE.
