Concise Guide to Workplace Safety and Health


Book Description

Every organization must comply with occupational health and safety regulations. Yet it is frequently unclear which actually apply in a given real-life situation, plus the field is loaded with technical terminology and complicated regulations. Many managers, trainers, even safety and health professionals therefore find it hard to know how to comply,




ANSI/Aiha Z9.10: 2010 Fundamentals Governing the Design and Operation of Dilution Ventillation Systems in Industrial Occupancies


Book Description

This standard discusses fundamental good practices related to the commissioning, design, selection, installation, operation, maintenance, and testing of dilution ventilation (DV) or general exhaust ventilation (GEV) systems used for the control of employee exposure to airborne contaminants. It is intended for and will benefit DV/GEV system owners, employers, industrial hygienists, facility engineers, maintenance personnel, testing and balancing personnel, ventilation system designers, and those responsible for such systems.




ANSI/AIHA Z9.2-2006 Fundamentals Governing the Design and Operation of Local Exhaust Ventilation Systems


Book Description

This new standard describes fundamental good practices related to the commissioning, design, selection, installation, operation, maintenance, and testing of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems used for the control of employee exposure to airborne contaminants.




Ventilation for Control of the Work Environment


Book Description

The second edition of Ventilation Control of the Work Environment incorporates changes in the field of industrial hygiene since the first edition was published in 1982. Integrating feedback from students and professionals, the new edition includes problems sets for each chapter and updated information on the modeling of exhaust ventilation systems, and thus assures the continuation of the book's role as the primary industry textbook. This revised text includes a large amount of material on HVAC systems, and has been updated to reflect the changes in the Ventilation Manual published by ACGIH. It uses both English and metric units, and each chapter concludes with a problem set.

Advanced Decision Making for HVAC Engineers


Book Description

This book focuses on some of the most energy-consuming HVAC systems; illuminating huge opportunities for energy savings in buildings that operate with these systems. The main discussion is on, cutting-edge decision making approaches, and algorithms in: decision making under uncertainty, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, agent based modeling, and game theory. These methods are applied to HVAC systems, in order to help designers select the best options among the many available pathways for designing and the building of HVAC systems and applications. The discussion further evolves to depict how the buildings of the future can incorporate these advanced decision-making algorithms to become autonomous and truly ‘smart’.
