Exergy Analysis of Heating and Cooling

Exergy Analysis of Heating and Cooling by Daniel Favrat and Malick Kane

Discover a practical, scientifically rigorous guide to improving heating and cooling systems through the lens of exergy. This book grabs attention with clear explanations of how exergy — the usable portion of energy — reveals hidden inefficiencies that conventional energy metrics miss. Ideal for engineers, researchers, architects and policy makers, it bridges theory and practice for real-world impact.

Inside you’ll find engaging, accessible chapters that unpack thermodynamic fundamentals, step-by-step exergy methods, and comparative case studies across residential, commercial and industrial systems. The authors translate complex models into actionable insights for designing smarter HVAC strategies, retrofits and district energy solutions. Emphasis on measurable gains makes it especially relevant for professionals tasked with meeting regional energy regulations and sustainability targets across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and beyond.

Readers benefit from practical tools for system optimization, lifecycle thinking and decision-making: reduce waste, boost performance, and align projects with carbon reduction goals. The writing balances academic rigor with hands-on guidance, making it useful both as a reference for seasoned practitioners and as a teaching resource for postgraduate courses.

Whether you’re optimizing a single building or planning city-scale heating and cooling networks, this book provides a decisive advantage. Add Exergy Analysis of Heating and Cooling to your library to transform how you evaluate energy systems and to unlock higher efficiency, lower emissions and better economic outcomes.
