It then details a range of interventions to reduce energy use and outlines methods of assessing the cost-effectiveness of such measures. Topics covered include: where and how energy is used in buildings; energy audits; measuring and monitoring energy use; techniques for reducing energy use in buildings; legislative issues. And new in this edition: the cooling of buildings; fuel costs and smart metering; and education and professional recognition. It provides a template for instigating the energy-management process within an organization, as well as guidance on management issues such as employee motivation, and gives practical details on how to carry the process through. This book should appeal to building and facilities managers and also to students of energy management modules in FE and HE courses. 606 $aBuildings$xEnergy conservation 606 $aBuilding management 615 0$aBuildings$xEnergy conservation. 615 0$aBuilding management. 676 $a658.26 676 $a658.26 700 $aHarris$b Douglas$f1951-,$0929964 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910150338903321 996 $aA guide to energy management in buildings$92091156 997 $aUNINA
