ENERGY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT discusses in detail the global energy scenario. The thermodynamic analysis of energy has been explained. Principles of energy conservation and management have been discussed along with the methodology and the Economics of energy has been elaborated with concepts like life cycle costing and rate of return. Procedure and methodology of energy audits has been covered in greater detail. Also included in the book are the recent developments such as the total energy concepts and integrated energy systems. Topics such as energy storage, co-generation, waste heat recovery which are important to improve energy efficiency have been discussed in detail with case studies and examples. The challenges faced in conserving energy sources like steam and electricity have been elaborated along with the improvements in the lighting sector.
