Description and Table of Contents
Description
Increased environmental awareness and legislation have begun
shifting the emphasis from high-energy cooling strategies, in which
full air conditioning was considered essential, to low-energy
"greener methods" of achieving equally comfortable conditions in
building interiors. Cooling is a major use of energy in commercial
buildings, making a significant contribution to the emission of
greenhouse gases and to global warming.
The papers presented in this volume explore the current
state-of-the-art developments in the application of latest
technologies such as:
* Night ventilation for cooling
* Slab cooling
* Desiccant dehumidification and evaporative cooling
* Chiled ceilings with displacement ventilation
* Mixed-mode ventilation systems
* Case studies and building examples
Low Energy Cooling Technologies for Buildings also covers design
and control requirements and the tools and techniques needed for
the successful integration of these technologies into the building
structure.
