Hardcover. This book focuses on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and photovoltaics as a medium to improve energy efficiency and energy generation, respectively. It covers heating and cooling design including simulating different types of HVAC systems from the lens of energy efficiency, and evaluation of the impact of photovoltaics for energy generation. It elaborates upon the costbenefit analysis, sensitivity assessments, addressing uncertainties for different building components, building energy code compliance for HVAC systems. It also features simulation project case studies. It also does the following:Explains simulation of different types of air conditioning systems such as unitary, variablerefrigerant-flow, and centralizedExplores the analysis of individual components of centralized HVAC systemsCovers the simulation of on-site photovoltaic systems by looking at their placement and its effect on energy generationEncompasses cost analysis, sensitivity evaluations, and uncertainty analysis for different building componentsInculcates real-life examples and exercises for application and reinforcement of concepts It is aimed at students, researchers in building energy (simulation)/building design courses, energy simulation professionals, architects, and so forth. Focuses on HVAC and photovoltaics as a medium to improve energy efficiency and energy generation, respectively. Covers heating and cooling design including simulating different types of HVACs from the lens of energy efficiency, and evaluation of the impact of photovoltaics for energy generation with simulation project case studies.

About the Author
Vishal Garg is the University Chair Professor and Director of the Indorama Ventures Center for Clean Energy at Plaksha University. His research interests are in the areas of building energy simulations, smart energy homes, and cool roofs. He was awarded the inaugural Dr. Arthur Rosenfeld Urban Cooling Achievement Award and is a Fellow of the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA). He holds a Bachelor of Civil Engineering from MBM Engineering College, Jodhpur, and a Ph.D. from IIT Delhi.
Jyotirmay Mathur is a professor of mechanical engineering and the founding head of the Centre for Energy and Environment at Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur, India. He has done postgraduate work in energy studies at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India, and has received a doctorate in energy systems from the University of Essen, Germany. Dr. Mathur has published 100 research papers in refereed international journals and has presented more than 160 papers and talks at international seminars and conferences, besides writing five books. Dr. Mathur works in the field of energy modelling, codes and standards, energy conservation in buildings, passive cooling, adaptive thermal comfort and building integrated photovoltaic systems.
Aviruch Bhatia is a senior research scientist at Plaksha University, Mohali, India. Before joining Plaksha, he served as an Assistant Professor at the TERI School of Advanced Studies in New Delhi. He holds a PhD from the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad. His research interests lie at the intersection of building physics, building performance simulation and analysis, and sustainable architecture. Earlier in his career, he worked for three years as an Assistant Manager with the Sustainability Group at Spectral Consultants Pvt. Ltd. (an AECOM company), where he was involved in a range of green building projects.
