For this purpose, it is essential to have a scientific understanding of what is meant by the “energy” issue is and the “environmental” issue. The concept of “exergy” is a scientific concept that exactly fits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe concept of ‘energy’ is a scientifically-well established concept, namely ‘to be conserved’. Then the question is what is really consumed. \u003ci\u003eExergy: Theory and Applications in the Built Environment\u003c\/i\u003e  is dedicated to answer this fundamental question by discussing the theory of “exergy” and by demonstrating its use extensively to describe a variety of systems in particular for built-environmental conditioning. Our immediate environmental space works within the flow of energy and matter in an “exergy-entropy” process, and the built environment can be designed with these energy \u0026amp; environmental issues in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eExergy: Theory and Applications in the Built Environment\u003c\/i\u003e introduces readers who are not familiar with thermodynamics to the concept of exergy with a variety of discussion on the built-environmental space such as heating, cooling, lighting, and others. Readers, including students, researchers, planners, architects and engineers, will obtain a better picture of a sustainable built-environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-12-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447159124\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-4573-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 368\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50148455448716,"sku":"9781447159124","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447159124.jpg?v=1779564842","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447159124","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
