ENERGY EFFICIENT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS FOR BUILDINGS 2ED (HB 2024) Hardcover

The Second Edition of "Energy-Efficient Electrical Systems for Buildings" provides a structured and hands-on approach to designing and analyzing electrical systems within buildings. It emphasizes safety and energy conservation while also prioritizing sustainability and the ability of systems to withstand disruptions (resiliency). The book guides readers in designing electrical distribution systems that meet these crucial criteria. This updated edition offers advice on creating electrified and energy-resilient buildings. By focusing on energy efficiency, sustainability, and resiliency, it explains how to meet the minimum safety standards set by the National Electrical Code (NEC) when choosing electrical power systems for buildings. It also examines how the increasing trend of building electrification affects the design of these systems. A new chapter specifically addresses the optimal design of energy-efficient and resilient power systems. To further aid learning, the book includes new end-of-chapter problems, examples, and real-world case studies that reinforce the concepts discussed. This book is primarily aimed at senior undergraduate students in mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering who are taking courses focused on Electrical Systems for Buildings or the Design of Building Electrical Systems.
