20% OFF: Ventilation and airflow in buildings: Methods for diagnosis and evaluation

by Claude-Alain Roulet

‘This book is unique … a valuable single-source reference not only for academics but for practitioners: a practical, useful source of knowledge’: Professor Fariborz Haghighat, Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Concordia University, Canada.

‘This book covers all of the important technical information for ventilation measurement. It is very useful not only for HVAC engineers but also researchers and university students’: Hiroshi Yoshino, Professor, Department of Architecture and Building Science, Tohoku University, Japan

The book will help building physicists and ventilation engineers to properly commission ventilation systems and appropriately diagnose ventilation problems throughout the life of a building. Drawing on over 20 years of experience and the results of recent international research projects, this is the definitive guide to diagnosing airflow patterns within buildings.

50% OFF: Solar heating systems for houses: A design handbook for solar combisystems

edited by Werner Weiss

The use of solar collectors for domestic hot water over the past 20 years has demonstrated that solar heating systems are now founded on a reliable and mature technology. However, the development of similar, but more complex, systems to provide both domestic hot water and space heating (solar combisystems) resulted in a diverse range of designs that were not carefully optimised to reflect local climate and practice.

Application of energy-efficient building strategies such as improved thermal insulation and use of low-temperature heat supply systems is becoming increasingly common. This trend favours an increase in market share for solar combisystems. The need for guidelines in selecting the appropriate system and designing this system according to the specific needs of the building and the local environment is therefore now increasingly pressing. This book fills that need.
