Overview
The only complete design resource for sustainable energy systems geared towards engineers
This highly visual resource goes beyond theory and provides solid, hands-on mechanical and electrical engineering information on the design and installation of sustainable energy systems. You will find everything you need — including real-world case studies — to develop the most energy efficient systems possible for a wide variety of projects.
Synopsis
CREATE MORE EFFICIENT ENERGY SYSTEMS FOR ANY BUILDING PROJECT
Designed to help you create the most energy-efficient systems possible, this indispensable resource comes packed with real-world case studies and a wealth of informative illustrations.
Offering nuts-and-bolts direction on a wide variety of project types - including residential, roof- and ground-mount systems, solar power farms, and large commercial solar power installations - Sustainable Energy Systems Engineering delivers the insight you need to produce wiring plans, calculations, and systems integration. Plus, it also features:
- Charts, tables, and diagrams that clearly illustrate each concept
- Coverage of NEC Section 690: the basis of all solar power systems design
- A useful selection of California Energy Commission rebate plan applications
- Systems component selection and integration
- Technical and financial feasibility studies
- Power demand and voltage drop calculations
- Short circuit analysis
- Service grid connectivity coordination
- And more!
Best of all, Sustainable Energy Systems Engineering will help you dramatically minimize the time you spend at the drawing board during your next green building project. The result? A streamlined process that will yield reduced costs, greater results and a better environment for everyone.
