Which is pretty scary when you come to think of it: either a goblin has cast a spell on a whole profession - or that profession is doing something fundamentally wrong". IT Success! challenges the widespread assumption that an IT department is like a building contractor whose project managers, architects and engineers (all construction industry terms...) are supposed to deliver systems on schedule, within budget and to spec.

The conference highlighted key technologies and processes that allow scientists, designers, engineers, manufacturers and other decision makers in cold climate regions to achieve good indoor environmental quality (IEQ) with a minimum use of energy and other resources. The conference addressed various technical, economic and social aspects of buildings and HVAC systems in new and renovated buildings. This proceedings volume gathers peer-reviewed papers by a diverse and international range of authors and showcases perspectives and practices in cold climate building design from around the globe. The following major aspects, which include both fundamental and theoretical research as well as applications and case studies, are covered: (1) Energy and power efficiency and low-energy buildings; (2) Renovating buildings; (3) Efficient HVAC components; (4) Heat pumps and geothermal systems; (5) Municipal and city energy systems; (6) Construction management; (7) Buildings in operation; (8) Building simulation; (9) Reference data; (10) Transdisciplinary connections and social aspects; (11) Indoor environments and health; (12) Moisture safety and water damage; (13) Codes, regulations, standards and policies; and (14) Other aspects of buildings in cold climates.Springer Proceedings in Energy,2352-2542Sustainable architectureBuildingsEnvironmental engineeringInterior architectureRenewable energy sourcesConstruction industryManagementSociology, UrbanSustainable Architecture/Green BuildingsBuilding Physics, HVACInterior ArchitectureRenewable EnergyConstruction ManagementUrban SociologySustainable architecture.BuildingsEnvironmental engineering.Interior architecture.Renewable energy sources.Construction industryManagement.Sociology, Urban.Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.Building Physics, HVAC.Interior Architecture.Renewable Energy.Construction Management.Urban Sociology.697Johansson Dennisedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBagge Hansedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtWahlström Åsaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910337588903321Cold Climate HVAC 20181930033UNINA
