TAFs, also referred to as thermal or energy piles, offer innovative and sustainable alternatives to ground-source heat pumps as well as other conventional heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to heat and cool commercial as well as residential buildings in several regions in the world. In summary, this monograph collects the latest multi-disciplinary advances in modeling, designing, and monitoring TAFs. Ultimately, it is hoped that this monograph will provide a comprehensive reference for both researchers and professionals interested in structural and thermal performance of TAFs and their applications in developing integrated and sustainable equipment and systems for the built environment. 410 0$aTechnologies for sustainable life. 606 $aGeothermal space heating 606 $aFoundations 606 $aThermopiles 606 $aBuildings$xThermal properties 606 $aSustainable buildings 608 $aLibros electronicos. 615 0$aGeothermal space heating. 615 0$aFoundations. 615 0$aThermopiles. 615 0$aBuildings$xThermal properties. 615 0$aSustainable buildings. 676 $a697.7 700 $aMcCartney$b John Scott$f1979-,$0881510 702 $aKrarti$b Moncef. 702 $aKwag$b Byung Chang. 702 $aBouazza$b Abdelmalek. 702 $aSingh$b Rao Martand. 702 $aFaizal$b Mohammed. 801 0$bFINmELB 801 1$bFINmELB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460888403321 996 $aThermoactive foundations for sustainable buildings$91968679 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02094oam 2200529 a 450 001 9910698199403321 005 20090305080948.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002395014 035 $a(OCoLC)49932810 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002395014 100 $a20020605d1983 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn||||a|||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aHabitat suitability index models$b[electronic resource] $eGulf of Mexico American oyster /$fby Edwin W.
