Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States by National Research Council,National Academy of Engineering,National Academy of Sciences,America's Energy Future Panel on Energy Efficiency Technologies Pdf

America's economy and lifestyles have been shaped by the low prices and availability of energy. In the last decade, however, the prices of oil, natural gas, and coal have increased dramatically, leaving consumers and the industrial and service sectors looking for ways to reduce energy use. To achieve greater energy efficiency, we need technology, more informed consumers and producers, and investments in more energy-efficient industrial processes, businesses, residences, and transportation. As part of the America's Energy Future project, Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States examines the potential for reducing energy demand through improving efficiency by using existing technologies, technologies developed but not yet utilized widely, and prospective technologies. The book evaluates technologies based on their estimated times to initial commercial deployment, and provides an analysis of costs, barriers, and research needs. This quantitative characterization of technologies will guide policy makers toward planning the future of energy use in America. This book will also have much to offer to industry leaders, investors, environmentalists, and others looking for a practical diagnosis of energy efficiency possibilities.

Energy-efficient Operation of Commercial Buildings by Peter H. Herzog Pdf

Home to some the world's best museums, New York City is itself a free, public museum. The work of artists such as Marc Chagall, Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein, Ludwig Bemelmans, and more grace the walls and ceilings of the public spaces New Yorkers see every day. Whether it's cocktails at the Carlyle, taking in a show at Lincoln Center, traveling via subway, or flyingout of LaGuardia Airport, millions of people come into contact with the greatest public works of art. From uptown to downtown to the outer boroughs, the art created for the walls of New York City's bars, hotels, offices, government buildings, and schools have themselves created the identities of the rooms they live in.Murals of New York City is the first book to curate more than 30 of the most important, influential, and impressive murals found within all five boroughs of New York City. Photographer Joshua McHugh's full-color images of such works as Paul Helleu's famous "Mural of the Stars" on Grand Central Station's ceiling, Robert Crowl's "Dancers at the Bar" at Lincoln Center, Edward Lanning's McGraw's New York Public Library Rotunda, Jose Marie Sert and Frank Brangwyn's Rockefeller Center murals, and more, are accompanied by artist and muralist Glenn Palmer-Smith's informative and historical commentary. Perfect for art and architecture lovers, The Murals of New York City also serves as the perfect resource and souvenir for the millions of tourists who visit the city every year.

Energy-efficient Commercial Buildings by Steven E. Ternoey Pdf

The environmental systems used in a commercial building are a major determinant of architectural form. Buildings using conventional environmental systems have distinct form characteristics. Likewise, buildings utilizing natural lighting, heating, cooling, and ventilation techniques have another set of architectural form characteristics. This paper explores the architectural differences between these two approaches by using historical and current building examples. This information is then used to suggest a classification system for the range of possible solutions available to the designer today.

Effective Tracking of Building Energy Use by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Board on Energy and Environmental Systems,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Committee on National Statistics,Panel on Redesigning the Commercial Buildings and Residential Energy Consumption Surveys of the Energy Information Administration Pdf

The United States is responsible for nearly one-fifth of the world's energy consumption. Population growth, and the associated growth in housing, commercial floor space, transportation, goods, and services is expected to cause a 0.7 percent annual increase in energy demand for the foreseeable future. The energy used by the commercial and residential sectors represents approximately 40 percent of the nation's total energy consumption, and the share of these two sectors is expected to increase in the future. The Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) and Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) are two major surveys conducted by the Energy Information Administration. The surveys are the most relevant sources of data available to researchers and policy makers on energy consumption in the commercial and residential sectors. Many of the design decisions and operational procedures for the CBECS and RECS were developed in the 1970s and 1980s, and resource limitations during much of the time since then have prevented EIA from making significant changes to the data collections. Effective Tracking of Building Energy Use makes recommendations for redesigning the surveys based on a review of evolving data user needs and an assessment of new developments in relevant survey methods.

Improving Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings and Smart Communities by Paolo Bertoldi Pdf

These proceedings present fourteen peer-reviewed papers from the 10th International Conference on Improving Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings and Smart Communities, which was held March 21-22, 2018 in Frankfurt, Germany. This biannual conference aims to promote and diffuse the concept of energy efficiency in new and existing commercial buildings and to enlarge the market for low consumption and sustainable non-residential buildings. It also covers smart and sustainable districts, communities and cities, since energy systems efficiency and renewable energies are often optimized at the district or municipal level. The 2018 conference focused on advanced and innovative technologies to improve the energy efficiency of commercial buildings, communities and cities as well as the policies and measures by governments at various levels to improve energy efficiency. A particular focus was on Energy Service Companies (ESCOs). The conference addresses energy policy makers at international, national, and local level; academics, researchers and energy efficiency experts; ESCOs, utilities, buildings energy and environmental managers; buildings engineers and architects; and equipment manufacturers and commercial property investors.
