Energy Services Fundamentals and Financing

Energy Services Fundamentals and Financing, first volume of the Energy Services and Management series, provides a global view of energy services schemes and practices. The book discusses the role of energy services within the larger energy landscape and explores key technical aspects of energy systems for power, heating and cooling, including renewable energy systems and combined heat and power. The book analyzes energy efficiency in several electrical devices, such as motors, lighting and vehicles. It then examines actual energy services business models and policy, before presenting a quick reference section that includes key models and calculations.

Provides an innovative approach to the fundamental aspects related with energy services, including technology implementation and financial schemesDiscusses tools to measure process efficiency and sustainability in power and heating applicationsIncludes case studies, models and calculations, both technical and financial, as well as downloadable data for simulation and modeling
