Taunton Press Inc Pretty Good House: A Common-Sense Approach To
Book SynopsisFrustrated with complicated and restrictive green-building certification programs and the under-enforced building code, a group of architects and builders in Portland, Maine, came up with the idea of the Pretty Good House. What, they asked, should you include in a house that does right for its inhabitants and the planet, but that does not go beyond reasonable environmental or financial payback? In a nutshell, a Pretty Good House is a house that's as small as possible (remember The Not So Big House?); it is simple and durable, but also well designed; it uses wood and plant-derived products as construction materials; it includes photovoltaic panels or is PV-ready; it should be insulated and air-sealed well enough that heating and cooling systems can be minimal, and, above all, it is affordable, healthy, responsible, and resilient.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Exergy Analysis of the Air Handling Unit at
Book SynopsisThis book explore how exergy analysis can be an important tool for assessing the sustainability of buildings.Building's account or around 40 percent of total energy conditions depending on local climatic conditions. Due to its nature, exergy analysis should become a valuable tool for the assessment of building sustainability, first of all considering their scope and the dependence of their energy demands on the local environmental and climatic conditions.Nonetheless, methodological bottlenecks do exist and a solution to some of them is proposed in this monograph. First and foremost, there is the still-missing thermodynamically viable method to apply the variable reference environment temperature in exergy analysis. The monograph demonstrates that a correct approach to the directions of heat exergy flows, when the reference temperature is considered variable, allows reflecting the specifics of energy transformation processes in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in a thermodynamically viable way. The outcome of the case analysis, which involved coordinated application of methodologies based on the Carnot factor and coenthalpies, was exergy analysis indicators – exergy efficiency and exergy destroyed – obtained for air handling units and their components. These methods can be used for the purposes of analysing and improving building technical systems that, as a rule, operate at a variable environment temperature. Exergy analysis becomes more reliable in designing dynamic models of such systems and their exergy-based control algorithms. This would improve the possibility to deploy them in building information modelling (BIM) technologies and the application of life cycle analysis (LCA) principles in designing buildings, thus improving the quality of the decision-making process. Furthermore, this would benefit other systems where variable reference environment plays a key role.This book is relevant to academics, students and researchers in the field of thermodynamic analysis considering HVAC equipment, building energy systems, energy efficiency, sustainable development of technical systems of energy, mechanics, and construction, as well as preservation of natural resources. Planners, designers, engineers of HVAC equipment, building energy systems, and developers of appropriate simulation tools (e.g., BIM) will also find it of use.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Theoretical bases of exergy analysis with variable reference temperature.- Heat recovery exchanger of air handling unit.- Air handling unit heat pump operation modes.- Comparative exergy analysis of air handling unit cases.- Seasonal exergy efficiency of an air handling unit.

Springer International Publishing AG Introduction to Refrigeration and Air
Book SynopsisThis second edition builds on the foundation established by the previous first edition published in 2017. The first edition covered background information, description, and analysis of four major cooling system technologies - vapor compression cooling, evaporative cooling, absorption cooling, and gas cooling. The second edition has been expanded to include increased coverage of cooling system refrigerants, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and building cooling loads. With increasing climate change due to the buildup of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, there has been a worldwide impetus to transition to cooling systems and refrigerants that have a low or even zero global warming potential. The text is written as a tutorial for engineering students and practicing engineers who want to become more familiar with the performance of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The goals are to familiarize the reader with cooling technology nomenclature and provide insight into how refrigeration and air conditioning systems can be modeled and analyzed. Emphasis is placed on constructing idealized thermodynamic cycles to represent actual physical situations in cooling systems. The book contains numerous practical examples to show how one can calculate the performance of cooling system components. By becoming familiar with the analyses presented in the examples, one can gain a feel for representative values of the various thermal and mechanical parameters that characterize cooling systems.

Book SynopsisBad experiences with construction quality, the energy crises of 1973 and 1979, complaints about "sick buildings", thermal, acoustical, visual and olfactory discomfort, the need for good air quality, the move towards energy efficiency, decarbonization and sustainability - all these have accelerated the development of a discipline that, for a long time, was hardly more than an academic exercise: building physics. The discipline embraces domains such as heat and mass transfer, building acoustics, lighting, indoor environmental quality, energy efficiency, and, in some countries, fire safety. Through the application of physical knowledge and its combination with information coming from other disciplines, building physics helps to under-stand the physical phenomena governing building parts, building envelope, whole building and built environment performance - called urban physics. Today, building physics has be-come a key player on the road to highly performing new buildings and renovations. The first book deals with heat, air and moisture transport in building parts or assemblies and whole buildings with emphasis on the building engineering applications. The second book on applied building physics focuses on the question of what a well-balanced building performance consists of. Here, the environmental loads on buildings are explained - i.e. all those parameters that describe the external and internal environmental conditions, with an emphasis on practical implementation. Then follows a comprehensive presentation of those performance requirements that are important at the whole-building level, mainly considering thermal, acoustic, visual and olfactory comfort, indoor air quality, energy consumption, durability, economy and sustainability. This is followed by an in-depth discussion of the requirements regarding thermal, air and moisture behaviour as well as the measured variables at the level of the building construction and components. The analyses and calculations described in this book result in sustainable buildings made of functional and durable building constructions, with comfortable and healthy indoor climate. Compared to the previous editions, both books have been expanded to include the physical determination of the thermal conductivity of materials, together with an in-depth discussion of all the effects of thicker insulation layers. Additional information has been added on wind pressure and the evaluation of condensation inside the building components, while a new chapter on material properties has been included. Both volumes, including the figures, have been revised and restructured where necessary.Table of ContentsBOOK 1 BUILDING PHYSICS Preface Units and Symbols 0 Introduction, History of Building Physics 1 Heat Transfer 1.1 Generalities 1.2 Conduction 1.3 Heat Exchange at Surfaces by Convection and Radiation 1.4 Building Related Applications 1.5 Problems and Solutions 2 Mass Transfer 2.1 Generalities 2.2 Air 2.3 Water Vapour 2.4 Moisture 2.5 Problems and Solutions 3 Heat, Air, and Moisture Combined 3.1 Why? 3.2 Material and Assembly Level 3.3 Whole Building Level 3.4 Problems and Solutions 4 Heat, Air, Moisture Material Properties 4.1 In general 4.2 Dry Air and Water 4.3 Thermal Properties of selected building materials 4.4 Air Properties 4.5 Moisture Properties Postscript BOOK 2 APPLIED BUILDING PHYSICS Preface Units and Symbols Introduction, Historical Review 1 Ambient Conditions Out and Indoors 1.1 Overview 1.2 Outdoors 1.3 Indoors Further Reading 2 Performance Metrics and Arrays 2.1 Definitions 2.2 Functional Demands 2.3 Performance Requirements 2.4 A short history 2.5 Performance arrays Further Reading 3 Functional Demands at the Whole Building Level 3.1 In brief 3.2 Thermal, acoustical, visual and olfactory comfort 3.3 Health and Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) 3.4 Energy Efficiency 3.5 Durability 3.6 Economics 3.7 Sustainability 3.8 High performance buildings Further Reading 4 Heat, Air, Moisture Metrics at the Building Assembly Level 4.1 Introduction 4.2 Air-tightness 4.3 Thermal transmittance 4.4 Transient thermal response 4.5 Moisture tolerance 4.6 Thermal bridging 4.7 Contact coefficient 4.8 Hygrothermal stress and strain 4.9 Transparent parts: solar transmittance Further Reading 5 The Envelope Parts HAM Performances Applied to Timber-Frame 5.1 In general 5.2 Assembly 5.3 Performance evaluation Further Reading Appendix: Heat, Air, Moisture Material Properties Index

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Ultraleichter, zementgebundener Schaum als
Book SynopsisAusgehend von einer Entwicklung thermisch aktivierter Gebäudehüllelemente aus nahezu sortenreinen, zementgebundenen Werkstoffen, die jedoch aus einer tragenden Innenschale mit aufgebrachter Dämmung aus ultraleichtem, mineralisiertem Schaum sowie einer Vorhangfassade aus sehr dünnen, mikrobewehrten UHPC-Platten bestehen, wird die Frage diskutiert, inwiefern sich derartige Bauteile auch als tragende Sandwichelemente umsetzen lassen.Hierzu wird in einem ersten Schritt der mögliche Kerndämmstoff aus ultraleichtem, zementgebundenem Schaum mechanisch untersucht und die für eine Sandwichanwendung relevanten Werkstoffkenngrößen ermittelt. Für eine mögliche Berechnung von Sandwichelementen aus mineralisiertem, zementösem Schaum werden aus der Literatur bekannte Sandwichtheorien aufbereitet und im Hinblick auf ihre Anwendbarkeit bei einem derart schubweichen Kernmaterial sowie in Bezug auf den Rechenaufwand und die daraus generierte Genauigkeit der Ergebnisse miteinander verglichen und bewertet.Im Hinblick auf die Klimaschutzziele sollte bei allen neuartigen Konstruktionen immer auch die Frage des ökologischen Fußabdrucks gestellt werden. Dies erfolgt im Rahmen einer Produktökobilanzierung des mineralisierten Schaumes, durch die Ermittlung der herstellungsbedingten CO2 – äquivalenten Emissionen sowie des Primärenergiebedarfs und eines Vergleichs mit anderen Kerndämmstoffen. Die sortenreine Trennung des Schaumes von den Deckschichten kann für die Kombination mit Stahlbeton nachgewiesen werden.Die Umsetzung als Sandwichelement erfolgt abschließend mit funktionalisierten Deckschichten aus Wabenplatten, die über eine Trägerschicht aus Gipsputz mit dem Schaum verbunden werden, wobei die hohe Schwindneigung des Schaumes sich aktuell als Hindernis für eine dauerhafte, robuste Umsetzung zeigt.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Theoretische Grundlagen zu mineralisierten Schäumen, Ökobilanzierung und Sandwichtheorien.- Untersuchungen zum mechanischen Verhalten von zementösem, mineralisiertem Schaum.- Ökobilanzierung von mineralisiertem Schaum.- Berechnungsverfahren von Sandwichelementen mit mineralisiertem Schaum.- Mineralisierter Schaum in der baupraktischen Anwendung.- Fazit und Ausblick.

Ebenso wird der Einfluss der fräsinduzierten Oberflächenrauigkeit auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften während der Probenpräparation umfassend beleuchtet. Bisher existieren keine adäquaten Methoden zur Herstellung von spritzgegossenen Prüfplatten mit hoher und homogener Faserorientierung, die eine hinreichende Breite besitzen, um Proben in beliebigem Extraktionswinkel für die mechanische Prüfung herzustellen. Eine solche hochorientierte Prüfplatte wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit konzeptioniert und in einem Spritzgusswerkzeug realisiert. Mikrocomputertomographische Analysen der neuartigen Prüfplatte zeigen einen Faserorientierungsgrad von durchschnittlich 85.1 %. Um ein detailliertes Verständnis der Einflussfaktoren der Probenpräparation auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften zu gewinnen, werden Probekörper mit unterschiedlichen Fräsparametersätzen aus diesen hochorientierten Prüfplatten heraus gefräst. Es resultieren unterschiedliche Oberflächenrauigkeiten. Die Proben mit verschiedenen Faserorientierungen werden unter einachsiger Zugbelastung bei 23 °C (Raumtemperatur) und -10 °C untersucht. Für beide Temperaturen zeigt die systematische Analyse keinen signifikanten Einfluss der Oberflächenrauigkeit auf die mechanischen Kennwerte.Table of ContentsPolymerwerkstoffe.- Faserorientierung in kurzfaserverstärkten Thermoplasten.- Probekörper mit hoher Faserorientierung.
