Energy-Efficient HVAC Design

Introduction

Energy-Efficient HVAC Design

    Sustainability and green building design have become powerful household concepts in the past few years. Almost everyone has his or her own ideas about global warming, renewable energy, and high-performance buildings. The copiousness of available information and resources overwhelms and even confuses not only young professionals but even seasoned architects and engineers who are in the frontline of designing energy-efficient sustainable buildings. Therefore, my main aim in writing this book was to present the most essential concepts and necessary tools to young and experienced professionals in order to enable them to perform more in-depth study, make proper decisions, and therefore design and construct high-efficiency sustainable buildings. The topics covered in each of the chapters of this book can be developed to form lengthy books by themselves, but my aim was to introduce the main concepts and not to bore readers with too many details.
