This reference/text for students and professionals in energy engineering offers a step-by-step guide to applying principles of energy engineering to the design of electrical, HVAC, utility, and building systems for new designs and for retrofits. Coverage encompasses technical aspects, such as cogeneration and compressed air system optimization, as well as financial and other issues, such as energy economic analysis, energy auditing and accounting, financing energy projects, and environmental standards. The handbook includes sample problems and is illustrated with b&w charts, tables, diagrams, plus a few poor-quality b&w photos. It also contains about 40 pages of reference tables. This seventh edition contains new chapters on electrical system optimization and ISO 50001, reflecting the latest changes to industry standards.
