Clive Beggs, Professor of Medical Technology, University of Bradford, Chartered Engineer, BRE advisor, formerly of the School of Civil Engineering, The University of Leeds.
Description
Energy – its source, security, price, and the efficiency of its use, are increasingly important issues for a diverse range of people.
'Energy: Management, Supply and Conservation' is a comprehensive text dealing with the theory and practice of the supply
of energy, energy management and auditing, and the design of sustainable energy facilities. It considers the systems needed to create
low-energy, sustainable buildings, including passive solar design, energy-efficient heating and air-conditioning, and combined heat and
power. In addition the book includes substantial sections on renewable energy, transport energy, and energy economics. This new edition
includes the latest in alternate-energy technology, for example wind turbines and solar panels as well as updating important energy values
and statistics.
The book's readable style, along with its many figures, tables and worked examples make it an ideal text
for courses on energy management, environmental engineering, architectural engineering and building services engineering. It will also
be useful as a definitive handbook for professionals in the environmental, construction, utilities and facilities management sectors,
as well as being of interest to those involved in sustainability economics and environmental policy making.
Clive Beggs
is Professor of Medical Technology at the University of Bradford. He is both a mechanical engineer and a biomedical scientist, who for
many years has had an interest in ways in which energy is utilized and consumed. He is an expert in the fields of energy management and
low energy building design, with many years experience of the design and installation of mechanical services within the construction
industry. He is a well known international speaker and is author of many scientific papers on low energy and environmentally friendly
building design. He is a holder of the CIBSE Carter Bronze Medal for his work on desiccant cooling.
Audience
Students studying energy management as an option on building services, environmental engineering, architectural technology or as a core element of an energy-focused engineering course.
