Exergy efficient building design

2008 / vi + 147 pp. / thesis / paperback / ISBN 978-90-6562-175-7 / Euro 22,50

Nowadays, energy systems in buildings are designed based solely on the energy conservation principle. Nevertheless, this principle alone does not provide a full understanding of important aspects of energy use in buildings. From this viewpoint, exergy analysis can quantify the potential for improving the match between the quality levels of energy supply (e.g. high-temperature combustion) and energy demand (e.g. low temperature heat), and the contribution of this match to better energy resource utilisation.

The objective of this PhD research is to develop knowledge into the applicable domains and potential added values of exergy analysis in the built environment, by studying under what conditions exergy could function as a useful concept for the built environment. The research is carried out at the levels of HVAC components and systems and of building systems. It provides metrics that can be used to quantify and express exergy values in buildings and HVAC systems.

Contents
