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. 610 $aindoor air quality 610 $amicroservice 610 $aregression analysis 610 $aNorthern Cyprus 610 $aenvironmental and technological design 610 $aair infiltration 610 $aIoT 610 $ashading devices 610 $aBIPV 610 $aenergy need optimisation 610 $amassive simulation modelling 610 $athermal transmittance of enclosures 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aindoor air quality index 610 $abuilding energy performance 610 $aenergy consumption 610 $amobile app 610 $aannual energy demand 610 $aPassivhaus 610 $arenewable energy integration 610 $adynamic building simulation 610 $apassivhaus 610 $athermal comfort 610 $apassive cooling systems 610 $apassive strategies 610 $apassive house 610 $asmart ventilation 610 $afan-assisted ventilation 700 $aCostanzo$b Vincenzo$4auth$01328955 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404082103321 996 $aAssessing the Performance of Passive Houses in Mediterranean Climate Regions$93039222 997 $aUNINA
