Carnot invented his famous cycle and generalized the efficiency concept for thermo-mechanical engines. Since that time, research progressed from the equilibrium approach to the irreversible situation that represents the general case. This book illustrates the present state-of-the-art advances after one or two centuries of consideration regarding applications and fundamental aspects. The research is moving fast in the direction of economic and environmental aspects. This will probably continue during the coming years. This book mainly highlights the recent focus on the maximum power of engines, as well as the corresponding first law efficiency upper bounds.indoor air qualitymicroserviceregression analysisNorthern Cyprusenvironmental and technological designair infiltrationIoTshading devicesBIPVenergy need optimisationmassive simulation modellingthermal transmittance of enclosuresenergy efficiencyindoor air quality indexbuilding energy performanceenergy consumptionmobile appannual energy demandPassivhausrenewable energy integrationdynamic building simulationpassivhausthermal comfortpassive cooling systemspassive strategiespassive housesmart ventilationfan-assisted ventilationCostanzo Vincenzoauth1328955BOOK9910404082103321Assessing the Performance of Passive Houses in Mediterranean Climate Regions3039222UNINA
