Buildings are responsible for about 40-quadrillion BTU of the total energy, i.e., ~40% of the energy supply, of the United States. Improvements on the energy efficiency of buildings have significant impacts on the overall energy consumption and the battle against global warming. This volume covers some recent advances and opportunities related to energy efficiency of buildings. Topics covered include building energy modeling (chapter 1), vacuum thermal insulation for building envelopes...
More DescriptionBuildings are responsible for about 40-quadrillion BTU of the total energy, i.e., ~40% of the energy supply, of the United States. Improvements on the energy efficiency of buildings have significant impacts on the overall energy consumption and the battle against global warming. This volume covers some recent advances and opportunities related to energy efficiency of buildings. Topics covered include building energy modeling (chapter 1), vacuum thermal insulation for building envelopes (chapter 2), window technologies (chapter 3), building thermal energy storage (chapter 4), heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVACs) (chapter 5), personal thermal comfort and regulation (chapter 6), and cooking technologies (chapter 7). ARHT, Volume XXI is an excellent resource for researchers interested in building energy savings.
