This increased interest is driven by a combination of new regulations and directives within the EU and worldwide to combat global warming. All buildings now must now acquire and display an EPC (energy performance certificate), a rating similar to the A-G rating given to white goods. But in order to understand how to be more efficient in energy use, you need first to understand the mechanisms of both energy requirements and how energy is used in buildings. Energy Audits: a workbook for energy management in buildings tackles the fundamental principles of thermodynamics through day-to-day engineering concepts and helps students understand why energy losses occur and how they can be reduced. It provides the tools to measure process efficiency and sustainability in power and heating applications, helping engineers to recognize why energy losses occur and how they can be reduced utilizing familiar thermodynamic principles. The author describes the sources of energy available today; explains how energy is used in buildings - and how energy is lost - and how this can be controlled and reduced. Investments in energy efficiency are considered for a number of case studies conducted on real buildings The book explains the theory; illustrates it with case studies and worked examples; and then tests students' understanding with tutorial problems. This is an invaluable resource for students on engineering and building where energy management is now a core topic"--Provided by publisher.BuildingsEnergy conservationHandbooks, manuals, etcEnergy auditingHandbooks, manuals, etcEnergy conservationHandbooks, manuals, etcElectronic books.BuildingsEnergy conservationEnergy auditingEnergy conservation658.26Al-Shemmeri Tarik893149MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457046203321Energy audits1994889UNINA01634oam 2200313z- 450 991014944640332120230913112557.01-63459-210-7(CKB)3710000000933294(BIP)050755168(EXLCZ)99371000000093329420210505c2014uuuu -u- -engMastering Multiple Choice for Federal Civil Procedure MBE Bar Prep and 1L Exam PreWest Academic Publishing1 online resource (189 p.) 1-62810-338-8 This multiple-choice exam practice book is designed for (a) bar exam takers, who are preparing to take the MBE multiple-choice bar exam (Civil Procedure is a new testing topic added to the MBE multiple-choice bar exam as of February 2015), and (b) 1L law students, who are preparing to take their course examinations. The book offers practical, easy-to-follow advice on multiple-choice exam-taking strategies, clear suggestions on effective multiple-choice practicing techniques, and a lengthy set of Civil Procedure multiple-choice practice questions with answers and explanations (designed to simulate MBE-style questions).
