I have been collecting several books on energy conservation. Of all of these books, for larger operations like a commercial building, the "Energy Efficiency Manual: for everyone who uses energy, pays for utilities, designs and builds, is interested in energy conservation and the environment (Energy Efficiency Manual)" by Donald R. Wulfinghoff
This is a how-to and source book for energy conservation. It lets you improve efficiency and save money in all types of buildings and plants, ranging from individual houses to commercial buildings to large institutions and industrial plants.
It's for everyone who uses energy, pays for utilities, manages property, operates energy systems, designs, builds, and values conservation and the environment. It provides a comprehensive set of critical factors:
- "Ratings" and "Selection Scorecards" identify your best conservation opportunities.
- "Traps & Tricks" ensure success.
- "Economics" estimate savings and costs.
If you operate or own a building/residence, use this book to help you....
- Cut Energy Costs and Protect the Environment
- Improving Comfort, Safety, And Reliability
- Find the Right Improvements for Your Building or Plant
- Reference Notes broaden your knowledge of utility rates, high-efficiency motors, variable-speed drives, environmentally safe refrigerants, lighting technology, energy management computers, people sensors, and many other vital subjects.
- Avoid Expensive Mistakes. Each Measure includes Traps & Tricks to guide you around pitfalls that can spoil your work. You get tips gained from practical experience that minimize effort, save cost, and protect your savings in the long term.
