A modern and unique perspective on solar and geothermaltechnologies for heating and cooling buildings
This book will have a broad appeal reaching practising engineersin the industry as well as students. With introductory sections foreach technology described, material includes chapters on:geothermal energy use for the heating and cooling of buildings; achapter on electrically driven heat pumps/chillers; material onnight radiative cooling, photovoltaic thermal collectors,temperature modelling and thin film photovoltaicmodelling.
* Includes general introductory sections for each technology withmarket potential and applications
* Covers an increasingly important component of energycourses
* Considers a broad range of alternative renewable energysupplies relevant to the building sector, such as geothermal energywith heat pump
* With a special focus on solar cooling, provides detailedphysical models of all technologies and example calculations
* Unique in covering the fundamentals of meteorologicalmodelling
