This book is presented to demonstrate how energy efficiency can be achieved in existing systems or in the design of a new system, as well as a guide for energy savings opportunities. Accordingly, the content of the book has been enriched with many examples applied in the industry. Thus, it is aimed to provide energy savings by successfully managing the energy in the readers’ own businesses. The authors primarily present the necessary measurement techniques and measurement tools to be used for energy saving, as well as how to evaluate the methods that can be used for improvements in systems. The book also provides information on how to calculate the investments to be made for these necessary improvements and the payback periods. The book covers topics such as: • Reducing unit production costs by ensuring the reduction of energy costs, • Efficient and quality energy use, • Meeting market needs while maintaining competitive conditions, • Ensuring the protection of the environment by reducing CO2 and CO emissions with energy saving and energy efficiency, • Ensuring the correct usage of systems by carrying out energy audits. In summary, this book explains how to effectively design energy systems and manage energy to increase energy savings. In addition, the study has been strengthened by giving some case studies and their results in the fields of intensive energy consumption in industry. This book is an ideal resource for practitioners, engineers, researchers, academics, employees and investors in the fields of energy, energy management, energy efficiency and energy saving.

This text fills the need for a comprehensive and thorough study of energy utilization and management. It details the most modern, proven techniques for heat recovery, and introduces second law efficiency for various energy system components. An exceptional feature of this work is the attention it gives to four major areas of difficulty for students: the text provides fundamentals as well as proven procedures for calculating boiler efficiency...principles required and actual examples of component sizing for various steam distribution systems...information for deciding on a particular heat transfer augmentation technique for a given heat exchanger...and a thorough review of electrical system energy management, including proven methods of electrical energy conservation and cost savings.

Growing environmental concerns caused by increasing consumption of natural resources and pollution need to be addressed. Manufacturing dictates the efficiency with which resource inputs are transformed into economically valuable outputs in the form of products and services. Consequently, it is also responsible for the resulting waste and pollution generated from this transformation process. As a matter of fact, about one-third of the global total energy consumption is associated withmanufacturing activities; thus, achieving higher energy efficiency in this sector has been the focus of research as well as of policy and industrial programmes in recent years. In particular, being able to effectively manage energy and energy-related activities has proved to be a fundamental capability for companies willing to improve their sustainability, as it constitutes the first, critical step to understanding their processes and to identifying and correctly evaluating improvement opportunities. This Special Issue focuses on energy management and sustainability of both manufacturing processes and systems, including methods, practices, tools, applications and experiences.

Energy Management Principles: Applications, Benefits, Savings, Second Edition is a comprehensive guide to the fundamental principles and systematic processes of maintaining and improving energy efficiency and reducing waste. Fully revised and updated with analysis of world energy utilization, incentives and utility rates, and new content highlighting how energy efficiency can be achieved through 1 of 16 outlined principles and programs, the book presents cost effective analysis, case studies, global examples, and guidance on building and site auditing. This fully revised edition provides a theoretical basis for conservation, as well as the avenues for its application, and by doing so, outlines the potential for cost reductions through an analysis of inefficiencies. - Provides extensive coverage of all major fundamental energy management principles - Applies general principles to all major components of energy use, such as HVAC, electrical end use and lighting, and transportation - Describes how to initiate an energy management program for a building, a process, a farm or an industrial facility
