The importance of energy management has grown in recent years due to the heightened awareness of the impact of energy use on the environment and its very real impact on a company's bottom line. This book provides a detailed and knowledgeable reference for those engaged in the energy management field or those just starting out by illustrating a practical approach to implementing energy management programs using case studies and real-world experience. Topics covered include new areas of development such as CUSUM and multivariate regression analysis. Also included is coverage of all systems and standards that affect energy management, including ISO50001, EMIS, Industrial Refrigeration, Cooling Water System and Industrial Ventilation System. Technical, organizational and behavioral considerations are covered. The book is designed as a quick reference guide for practicing energy managers.

How are communities uniting against fracking and tar sands to change our energy future? Working across Lines offers a detailed comparative analysis of climate justice coalitions in California and Idaho--two states with distinct fossil fuel histories, environmental contexts, and political cultures. Drawing on ethnographic evidence from 106 in-depth interviews and three years of participant observation, Corrie Grosse investigates the ways people build effective energy justice coalitions across differences in political views, race and ethnicity, age, and strategic preferences. This book argues for four practices that are critical for movement building: focusing on core values of justice, accountability, and integrity; identifying the roots of injustice; cultivating relationships among activists; and welcoming difference. In focusing on coalitions related to energy and climate justice, Grosse provides important models for bridging divides to reach common goals. These lessons are more relevant than ever.

This book will reveal cost reductions and how to slash your energy costs without investing big money. The three pillars of costs reduction will discussed: Assembling your options and analyzing your risk; developing options with your utility; and cutting out obvious waste in your operation. Those who will benefit from this excellent text are business owners, CFOs, plant managers, plant engineers, and energy managers. You will learn how to distill what savings are possible and how you can quickly accomplish those savings from what you already know and can expect to walk away at the end of this book with confidence and a realistic plan of action for reducing your costs.

"Construction as an industry sector is responsible for around one-third of the total world-wide energy usage, and about 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. The rise in number of buildings and floor space area for both residential and commercial purposes has imposed enormous pressure on existing sources of energy. Implementations like efficient usage of building energy systems, design measures, utilization of local energy resources, energy storage and renewable energy sources for meeting electricity demand are currently under development and deployment to improve the energy performance index. However, integrating all such measures and evaluation of developed nearly zero-energy and zero-emission buildings is yet to be explored. In this book, different control techniques together with intelligent building technology used to improve the energy performance of buildings have been illustrated. Every building energy control system has a two-fold objective for energy and comfort requirements to achieve a high comfort index (for thermal, visual, air quality, humidity and various plug loads) and to increase the energy performance index. The most significant aspect of the design of buildings' energy control system is modelling. All the components, methodologies and processes involved in developing a renewable energy-driven building are covered in detail. This book is intended for graduates and professionals working towards the development of sustainable built environment using renewable energy sources"--
