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"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aBuildings$xEnergy conservation$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aEnergy auditing$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aEnergy conservation$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 615 0$aBuildings$xEnergy conservation 615 0$aEnergy auditing 615 0$aEnergy conservation 676 $a658.26 686 $aTEC009000$2bisacsh 700 $aAl-Shemmeri$b Tarik$01155899 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781657303321 996 $aEnergy audits$93846309 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04694nam 22007815 450 001 9910484361703321 005 20260210150825.0 010 $a9783030677343 010 $a3030677346 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-67734-3 035 $a(CKB)4100000011795073 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6513497 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6513497 035 $a(OCoLC)1244624412 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-67734-3 035 $a(PPN)265371392 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011795073 100 $a20210310d2021 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aUncovering Critical Personalism $eReadings from William Stern's Contributions to Scientific Psychology /$fby James T.

Presented for the first time for an English-speaking audience, this selection of original translations and essays encapsulates the critical framework of Stern's personalistic psychology. The selected works highlight the philosophical basis of Stern's personalistic views, illustrate their relevance in domains of theoretical and practical importance in psychology, and reveal Stern's critical stance on certain methodological trends that were gaining favor within psychology during his lifetime. Lamiell's own chapters contextualise the translations by providing an overview of the most basic tenets of critical personalism, and offering a commentary on paradigmatic commitments within scientific psychology's mainstream that began to impede Stern's efforts prior to his death, and that remain obstacles to personalistic thinking in the discipline today. Largely ignored by hiscontemporaries, this work forms part of an emerging body of scholarship that seeks to reintroduce Stern's thinking into contemporary psychology. The book is intended for academically oriented scholars with interests in historical, theoretical and philosophical issues in psychology. James T. Lamiell is Professor Emeritus of psychology at Georgetown University, USA. He is a three-time Fulbright scholar to Germany, and has been engaged with the writings of William Stern for over 30 years. As a visiting professor at the University of Hamburg in 2004, he delivered a series of public lectures on Stern's life and works. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the Theory and History of Psychology,$x2946-2460 606 $aPsychology 606 $aSocial sciences$xHistory 606 $aPersonality 606 $aDifference (Psychology) 606 $aDevelopmental psychology 606 $aHistory of Psychology 606 $aPersonality and Differential Psychology 606 $aDevelopmental Psychology 606 $aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology 606 $aChild and Adolescence Psychology 606 $aPsicologia del desenvolupament$2thub 606 $aPersonalisme (Filosofia)$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xHistory. 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aDifference (Psychology) 615 0$aDevelopmental psychology. 615 14$aHistory of Psychology. 615 24$aPersonality and Differential Psychology. 615 24$aDevelopmental Psychology. 615 24$aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology. 615 24$aChild and Adolescence Psychology. 615 7$aPsicologia del desenvolupament 615 7$aPersonalisme (Filosofia) 676 $a155 676 $a155.2 700 $aLamiell$b James T.$0853103 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484361703321 996 $aUncovering critical personalism$91904976 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03928nam 22007095 450 001 9910483396703321 005 20260814170729.0 010 $a3-030-64712-9 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-64712-4 035 $a(CKB)4100000011786554 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-64712-4 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6511404 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6511404 035 $a(OCoLC)1244630396 035 $a(PPN)254721419 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011786554 100 $a20210302d2021 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aBayesian and High-Dimensional Global Optimization /$fby Anatoly Zhigljavsky, Antanas ?ilinskas 205 $a1st ed. 2021. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2021. 215 $a1 online resource (VIII, 118 p. 54 illus., 38 illus. in color.) 225 1 $aSpringerBriefs in Optimization,$x2191-575X 311 08$a3-030-64711-0 327 $a1 Space-?lling in high-dimensional sets -- 2 Bi-objective decisions and partition based methods in Bayesian global optimization -- 3 Global random search in high dimensions. 330 $aAccessible to a variety of readers, this book is of interest to specialists, graduate students and researchers in mathematics, optimization, computer science, operations research, management science, engineering and other applied areas interested in solving optimization problems. Basic principles, potential and boundaries of applicability of stochastic global optimization techniques are examined in this book. A variety of issues that face specialists in global optimization are explored, such as multidimensional spaces which are frequently ignored by researchers. The importance of precise interpretation of the mathematical results in assessments of optimization methods is demonstrated through examples of convergence in probability of random search. Methodological issues concerning construction and applicability of stochastic global optimization methods are discussed, including the one-step optimal average improvement method based on a statistical model of the objective function. A significant portion of this book is devoted to an analysis of high-dimensional global optimization problems and the so-called ?curse of dimensionality?. An examination of the three different classes of high-dimensional optimization problems, the geometry of high-dimensional balls and cubes, very slow convergence of global random search algorithms in large-dimensional problems , and poor uniformity of the uniformly distributed sequences of points are included in this book. . 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Optimization,$x2191-575X 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aCalculus of variations 606 $aIndustrial engineering 606 $aProduction engineering 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aAlgebras, Linear 606 $aCalculus of Variations and Optimization 606 $aIndustrial and Production Engineering 606 $aProbability Theory 606 $aLinear Algebra 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 0$aCalculus of variations. 615 0$aIndustrial engineering. 615 0$aProduction engineering. 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aAlgebras, Linear. 615 14$aCalculus of Variations and Optimization. 615 24$aIndustrial and Production Engineering. 615 24$aProbability Theory. 615 24$aLinear Algebra. 676 $a519.7 676 $a519.6 700 $aZhigli?a?vskii?$b A.
