Energy management and conservation have been important considerations for society for many years, with an oil embargo in the 1970s and early 1980s bringing about a new awareness. The 21st century will see conflicts in the Middle East, high prices for petroleum, and increasing population worldwide influencing energy and its conservation. The Fourth Edition of Energy Management and Conservation provides a practical discussion of how energy can be managed and saved in most types of buildings, with updated content concerning energy cost reduction/going green to improve the environment. It also includes checklists to summarize ways of conserving energy.

Efficient energy management and effective conservation procedures have been crucial considerations for our society for many years. The 1970s and early 1980s saw the emergence of a new awareness of energy conservation, driven by an oil embargo. However, public interest in energy conservation declined due to various factors, including the loss of tax credits and government-imposed efficiency standards. A revival in energy conservation occurred following the Persian Gulf War in the early 1990s.
As we enter the 21st century, several significant factors will shape energy and its conservation. Conflicts in the Middle East, rising petroleum prices, and a growing global population will all exert substantial influences on energy demand. The discussion of climate change, global warming, and concerns about our electricity supply have motivated efforts to increase the flexibility of energy demand.
Energy Management and Conservation, Fourth Edition, offers a practical guide to managing and saving energy in various types of buildings. This edition not only updates the previous edition but also incorporates updated content on energy cost reduction and going green to enhance the environment. The authors of this book are renowned for their use of the systems approach, which enables readers to understand how different components of a building work together to optimize energy efficiency.
The text provides a comprehensive and practical exploration of the operation of systems commonly found in buildings. Each system is discussed with a focus on energy management and conservation, promoting the concept of "going green" to save money and protect the environment. There are numerous strategies and techniques for managing buildings to achieve efficient energy consumption.
One effective approach is to implement energy-efficient technologies and equipment. This includes utilizing energy-efficient lighting systems, heating and cooling systems, and appliances that consume less energy. Additionally, building owners can implement measures such as insulation, weather stripping, and smart technologies to optimize energy usage and reduce waste.
Another important aspect of energy management is the promotion of energy-conscious behaviors among building occupants. This includes educating individuals about the importance of energy conservation and providing them with resources to make informed energy choices. Building owners can also implement energy-saving policies and practices, such as setting energy-efficient goals, implementing energy audits, and encouraging the use of renewable energy sources.
In conclusion, efficient energy management and effective conservation procedures have remained essential considerations for our society. As we navigate the challenges of the 21st century, conflicts in the Middle East, rising petroleum prices, and a growing global population will shape energy demand. By implementing energy-efficient technologies, promoting energy-conscious behaviors, and adopting sustainable practices, we can contribute to the conservation of energy and the preservation of our environment for future generations.
