This book was released on with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era where energy efficiency and sustainability are not just buzzwords but essential practices for businesses and homeowners alike, understanding how to conduct a thorough energy audit has never been more critical. Whether you are an energy professional, facility manager, or a homeowner seeking to optimize your energy usage, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to navigating the complexities of energy audits across various types of facilities. Energy audits are pivotal in identifying opportunities for energy savings, reducing operational costs, and minimizing environmental impact. They provide a systematic approach to assessing energy use, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions that lead to significant improvements in energy performance. This book aims to demystify the auditing process, providing you with practical tools, methodologies, and best practices to effectively evaluate energy consumption and implement energy-saving measures. Drawing on over 30 years of experience in the HVAC and energy management sectors, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of energy audits. Through real-world case studies, actionable insights, and clear explanations, this book is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to conduct successful audits in commercial, residential, and industrial settings. Each chapter builds on the last, leading you through the essential components of an energy audit—from preparation and data collection to identifying energy conservation opportunities and reporting findings. By the end of this book, you will have a robust framework for conducting energy audits that not only meets regulatory standards but also drives real savings and sustainability for your organization or home. I encourage you to approach this material with curiosity and an open mind. The journey toward energy efficiency is not just about numbers; it is about fostering a culture of conservation and innovation that can have lasting benefits for both your wallet and the environment. Together, we can pave the way for a more sustainable future. Thank you for embarking on this journey with me. Charles Nehme CFN-HVAC

Book excerpt: Energy risk has reappeared on the corporate and social agenda with a bang and the complexity of the issues has increased many-fold since the days of the last great wave of concern following the oil crises of the 1970s. Steven Fawkes’ Energy Efficiency is a comprehensive guide for managers and policy-makers to the fundamental questions underpinning energy-efficiency and our responses to it: ¢ what do we really mean by energy efficiency? ¢ what is the potential (in different dimensions)? ¢ why it is important? ¢ what management processes lead to optimisation of energy efficiency? ¢ what technologies are useful for improving energy efficiency? ¢ what policies can be used to promote energy efficiency? ¢ how can energy efficiency be financed? ¢ how can energy suppliers engage with energy efficiency? The result is the most comprehensive review to-date of the barriers and opportunities associated with improving energy efficiency. Clearly written and erudite, Steven Fawkes addresses every aspect of energy efficiency, including the huge and vitally important untapped potential offered by effective energy management and the application of existing technology. He also identifies barriers, such as the rebound effect and how they can be mitigated and he provides a comprehensive review of innovative energy efficiency financing options. This book is a ’must read’ for anyone with an interest in energy supply and demand reduction.

Book excerpt: In September 2017, Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, completely upending the energy grid of the small island. The nearly year-long power outage that followed vividly shows how the new climate reality intersects with race and access to energy. The island is home to brown and black US citizens who lack the political power of those living in the continental US. As the world continues to warm and storms like Maria become more commonplace, it is critical that we rethink our current energy system to enable reliable, locally produced, and locally controlled energy without replicating the current structures of power and control. In Revolutionary Power, Shalanda Baker arms those made most vulnerable by our current energy system with the tools they need to remake the system in the service of their humanity. She argues that people of color, poor people, and indigenous people must engage in the creation of the new energy system in order to upend the unequal power dynamics of the current system. Revolutionary Power is a playbook for the energy transformation complete with a step-by-step analysis of the key energy policy areas that are ripe for intervention. Baker tells the stories of those who have been left behind in our current system and those who are working to be architects of a more just system. She draws from her experience as an energy-justice advocate, a lawyer, and a queer woman of color to inspire activists working to build our new energy system. Climate change will force us to rethink the way we generate and distribute energy and regulate the system. But how much are we willing to change the system? This unique moment in history provides an unprecedented opening for a deeper transformation of the energy system, and thus, an opportunity to transform society. Revolutionary Power shows us how.

Download or read book Power Economics written by Elena Cahill and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy efficiency is more of a journey than a battle. It starts with small steps, taken at the local and state levels. It is a matter of identifying and then practicing good habits in our daily lives, at home and at work. Every idea and process described in this book, if performed reasonably well, will put money in your pocket. You will not only save money; you will probably make money—and you will take important steps toward saving the planet. Power Economics is a book for thoughtful people who want to cut their energy costs and diminish the harmful effects of greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change and global warming are not speculative fantasies. They are real. They threaten communities, towns, cities, regions, nations, and continents. Even if you don't care about polar bears and penguins, the effects of melting icecaps and shifting ocean currents will transform your life and the lives of the people around you. Power Economics offers practical steps and achievable strategies for reducing the destructive impact of climate change and global warming. Yes, we need energy to live and to sustain our economies. But we don’t need to burn fossil fuels and release CO2 gas at levels that will result in a global catastrophe. There are reasonable alternatives to our current practices. None of the ideas that described in this book are entirely new or totally unfamiliar. They aren't extreme or bizarre. They won't require harsh or draconian measures to work. All of them follow basic rules of common sense and can be achieved at reasonable cost. "I have done my best to convey the complexity and urgency of the matter. I hope that you find this book informative and useful. Working together, we can shed many of our wasteful energy habits and begin the task of building a world that is safe, sustainable and healthy," writes author and energy expert Elena Cahill.
