ABSTRACT

Most people have probably experienced improper air conditioning or heating controls which waste energy. Energy is saved when efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are used. In this chapter, you will learn how to compare the efficiency of various systems and apply the heat pump to save energy, see how various refrigeration systems can be used to save energy, learn the basics of air conditioning design from an energy conservation viewpoint, and begin to apply the computer approach for energy conservation.
