Book Description

In an era where energy efficiency and sustainability are not just buzzwords but essential practices for businesses and homeowners alike, understanding how to conduct a thorough energy audit has never been more critical. Whether you are an energy professional, facility manager, or a homeowner seeking to optimize your energy usage, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to navigating the complexities of energy audits across various types of facilities. Energy audits are pivotal in identifying opportunities for energy savings, reducing operational costs, and minimizing environmental impact. They provide a systematic approach to assessing energy use, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions that lead to significant improvements in energy performance. This book aims to demystify the auditing process, providing you with practical tools, methodologies, and best practices to effectively evaluate energy consumption and implement energy-saving measures. Drawing on over 30 years of experience in the HVAC and energy management sectors, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of energy audits. Through real-world case studies, actionable insights, and clear explanations, this book is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to conduct successful audits in commercial, residential, and industrial settings. Each chapter builds on the last, leading you through the essential components of an energy audit—from preparation and data collection to identifying energy conservation opportunities and reporting findings. By the end of this book, you will have a robust framework for conducting energy audits that not only meets regulatory standards but also drives real savings and sustainability for your organization or home. I encourage you to approach this material with curiosity and an open mind. The journey toward energy efficiency is not just about numbers; it is about fostering a culture of conservation and innovation that can have lasting benefits for both your wallet and the environment. Together, we can pave the way for a more sustainable future. Thank you for embarking on this journey with me. Charles Nehme CFN-HVAC

Book Description

The business benefits of lower energy consumption are clear: lower energy costs, energy tax avoidance, selling excess CO2 credits, immediately adding savings to the bottom line and improved competitiveness. However, with a need to focus on day to day business management activities, implementing energy reduction programmes stretches the capabilities and know-how of responsible managers. Kit Oung’s Energy Management in Business is an expert's guide to energy reduction. It covers four important aspects of managing energy: strategy for successful implementation, available tools and techniques, generating sustainable quick wins and active management involvement. This book offers distilled practical concepts with real life case studies chosen to build insight, and illustrate how managers and engineers can relate to a broad range of energy reduction opportunities. We take energy for granted, like the air we breathe. We need to engage employees with energy management in two ways. In a more general sense, for those using energy for normal working practices, awareness and behaviour change are key. For those with more direct influence over energy using systems, engagement is also fundamental. Energy Management in Business places the process firmly in the context of commercial and industrial business practice. The book is an excellent companion for any organisation seeking ISO 50001 certification and a reduced energy consumption, as well as those that simply wish to better understand the options, strategies and risks that every business now faces.

Book Description

Program management is a rapidly emerging offshoot of project management. So much so that AT&T, IBM, and other organizations, both large and small in all sectors, have initiated a push to certify program managers. And, although universities offer courses in program management, there are few books available to guide program managers through this

Book Description

This book is presented to demonstrate how energy efficiency can be achieved in existing systems or in the design of a new system, as well as a guide for energy savings opportunities. Accordingly, the content of the book has been enriched with many examples applied in the industry. Thus, it is aimed to provide energy savings by successfully managing the energy in the readers’ own businesses. The authors primarily present the necessary measurement techniques and measurement tools to be used for energy saving, as well as how to evaluate the methods that can be used for improvements in systems. The book also provides information on how to calculate the investments to be made for these necessary improvements and the payback periods. The book covers topics such as: • Reducing unit production costs by ensuring the reduction of energy costs, • Efficient and quality energy use, • Meeting market needs while maintaining competitive conditions, • Ensuring the protection of the environment by reducing CO2 and CO emissions with energy saving and energy efficiency, • Ensuring the correct usage of systems by carrying out energy audits. In summary, this book explains how to effectively design energy systems and manage energy to increase energy savings. In addition, the study has been strengthened by giving some case studies and their results in the fields of intensive energy consumption in industry. This book is an ideal resource for practitioners, engineers, researchers, academics, employees and investors in the fields of energy, energy management, energy efficiency and energy saving.

Book Description

Procedures for Commercial Building Energy Audits provides purchasers and providers of energy audit services with a complete definition of good procedures for an energy survey and analysis. It also provides a format for defining buildings and their energy use that will allow data to be shared in meaningful ways. This publication specifically avoids a "cookbook" approach, recognizing that all buildings are different and each analyst needs to exercise a substantial amount of judgment. Instead, Procedures sets out generalized procedures to guide the analyst and the building owner, and provides a uniform method of reporting basic information. Different levels of analysis are organized into the following categories:Preliminary Energy Use Analysis Level I Analysis "Walk-Through Analysis Level II Analysis"Energy Survey and Analysis Level III Analysis"Detailed Analysis of Capital-Intensive Modifications The book comes with a CD that provides more than 25 guideline forms, with explanatory material, to illustrate the content and arrangement of a complete, effective energy analysis report. The CD provides these forms in both PDF and Word format, enabling you to customize and print each form. For the downloadable version, the PDF of the book and the guideline forms are included in a single .zip file. You will need WinZip or an equivalent program to open the file.
