Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

The provision of low carbon heating and cooling is recognised as one of the hardest challenges to solve in combating climate change. This reference text is designed to impart the essential knowledge needed for new entrants to make a rapid contribution in this growing industry. Part 1 provides the historical background to the development of District Heating and Cooling (DH/C) and a description of the technology. Part 2 describes the engineering design of each element of the system: the heating/cooling system within the buildings, the interface equipment between the building and the heating/cooling networks, the heating/cooling network itself, and the Energy Centre where the low carbon energy is produced. Part 3 considers how DH/C compares with other low carbon options and how newer technologies and techniques may be applied in changing market conditions.

Key Features

Presents the fundamentals of the engineering of District Heating and Cooling (DH/C) Discusses the technology, operation and key components of DH/C schemes Shows how DH/C compares with other low carbon technologies with respect to CO2 emissions, costs, disruption and other impacts Discusses how DH/C can be developed in the future world of renewable energy and the low carbon economy Includes case studies and links to reports and papers freely available online

Paul Woods is a Chartered Mechanical and Energy Engineer specialising in district heating, CHP and sustainable energy for buildings. Previously, he was Technical Director at Parsons Brinckerhoff (now WSP) and AECOM, leading their work on District Heating and Cooling. He has degrees from Cambridge and Cranfield Universities and is a Fellow of the IMechE, CIBSE and the Energy Institute. He was presented with the CHP Champion award in 2012 by the CHP Association (now the ADE). He was the author of the first edition of the CIBSE/ADE Code of Practice for Heat Networks in the UK.
