  • Energy: Management, Supply and Conservationby Clive Beggs

    Taylor & Francis 2009; US$ 52.95

    Energy - its source, security, price, and the efficiency of its use, are increasingly important issues for a diverse range of people. 'Energy: Management, Supply and Conservation' is a comprehensive text dealing with the theory and practice of the supply of energy, energy management and auditing, and the design of sustainable energy facilities. It considers the systems needed to create low-energy, sustainable buildings, including passive solar design, energy-efficient heating and air-conditioning, and combined heat and power. In addition the book includes substantial sections on renewable energy, transport energy, and energy economics. This new edition includes the latest in alternate-energy technology, for example wind turbines and... more...

    A specialist in performance contracting, Hansen offers owners and managers advice on how to asses their company's energy conditions and then determine outsourcing strategies for needed services. She devotes one section to securing assistance from energy service companies on financing and expertise, more...

  • Investment Grade Energy Auditby Shirley J. Hansen; Jim Hansen; James W. Brown

    Marcel Dekker Inc 2004; US$ 99.95

    This book was written to give energy-involved professionals the tools they need to take their energy audits to the next level, and use them to accurately predict a building's future energy use and true savings potential. Going beyond the conventional energy audit, which can lead to projections which are frequently off by as much as 20%, this book provides detailed guidelines on how to use the new tool, the investment grade audit (IGA), which enables prediction of savings with much greater accuracy. Building on the traditional audit, the IGA requires the addition of a ''risk assessment component'' which evaluates conditions in a specific building and/or process and reduces the level of uncertainty as to how proposed energy efficiency measures... more...

  • Oil Crises and Climate Challenges: 30 Years of Energy Use in IEA Countriesby Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development

    Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2004; US$ 100.00

    This publication examines how energy efficiency and other factors such as economic structure, income, lifestyle, prices, and fuel mix have shaped developments of energy use and CO2 emissions in IEA countries since the organisation was founded 30 years ago. more...

    CRC Press 2007; US$ 169.95

    With contributions from international experts, the Handbook of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy presents a comprehensive, world-wide survey of the field. This reference combines the two main areas related to sustainable systems-energy efficiency and renewable energy technology-and covers topics such as general energy principles, energy conservation in buildings and industry, transportation systems, and renewable energy technology. It also includes basic information on hydrogen and fuel cells. This timely handbook serves as the first source for up-to-date information on energy conservation and renewable energy technologies. more...

  • Self-Organization During Frictionby German Fox-Rabinovich

    CRC Press 2006; US$ 139.95

    Presenting a new approach to the development of an emerging generation of surface-engineered nano-structured materials, this book discusses such topics as self-organization phenomenon, physical and chemical aspects of friction, and the methods of friction control in advanced materials and coatings. Application of these new generations of materials are instrumental in transferring tribosystems working under extreme external impact with excessive wear rate into milder friction conditions. This reference demonstrates that the abnormal capacity of self-adaptive materials to resist severe friction conditions is associated with their nanoscale structure as well as synergistic alloying. more...
