Solar-Assisted Air-Conditioning of Buildings A Handbook for Planners

Air conditioning contributes significantly to the energy consumption of buildings in many countries. A promising possibility for energy reduction is the use of solar thermal energy in solar-assisted air-conditioning systems. The main advantage of this technology is that cooling loads and solar gains occur at the same time, at least on a seasonal level. However, until now only a few systems have been installed world-wide and design and operation experiences are fairly poor. This new handbook provides support for the design of this exciting and innovative technology.Henning, Hans Martin is the author of 'Solar-Assisted Air-Conditioning of Buildings A Handbook for Planners' with ISBN 9783211006474 and ISBN 3211006478.
