Le génie climatique et énergétique définit l'ensemble des connaissances et des techniques concernant la conception, la mise en oeuvre et les applications portant sur le chauffage, la ventilation, la climatisation (CVC) mais également l'énergétique du bâtiment, la qualité de l'air intérieur (QAI) et l'efficacité énergétique. Les professionnels de ce secteur du bâtiment et de l'industrie s'efforcent de concevoir et de réaliser des systèmes climatiques économes en énergie et à faible impact environnemental, ils en pilotent la gestion et la maintenance. Tout en limitant l'impact environnemental, on peut ainsi maîtriser un climat artificiel dans différents types de bâtiments, qu'ils soient à usage d'habitation, tertiaires ou industriels. Dans l'optique de la transition énergétique, cette démarche doit allier sobriété, efficacité énergétique et valorisation des énergies renouvelables. Notion centrale du génie climatique et énergétique, la régulation appliquée des systèmes permet de maintenir des conditions d'ambiance hygrothermiques en fonction de l'usage (confort, process') et d'optimiser la consommation d'énergie. Une fois le dimensionnement d'un système effectué, c'est la régulation qui viendra le piloter pour que son fonctionnement (ouverture de vanne, vitesse de pompe, vitesse de ventilateur, ouverture de volet,...) soit adapté aux besoins (consignes) comme aux perturbations (conditions climatiques extérieures, occupation,.). Traitant principalement d'applications en CVC et en QAI, les auteurs veulent faciliter la compréhension des phénomènes physiques et des principes fondamentaux de la régulation de ces systèmes. Destiné aux futurs professionnels de l'industrie et de la construction - étudiants des deux premiers cycles et élèves en écoles d'ingénieurs - ce manuel illustre l'ensemble des connaissances théoriques par des cas d'études issus de l'enseignement délivré à l'INSA de Strasbourg. Toujours plus pratique, cette nouvelle édition innove en portant à 50 le nombre de problèmes proposés pour s'exercer. Publics : Élèves préparant le BTS, Étudiants des IUT et des écoles d'ingénieurs, professionnels en activité.

Green buildings have become common in India and other countries in Asia. However, there is a concern regarding the performance of green buildings failing to meet the expectations of clients during the operation. One of the key reasons for this is poorly commissioned HVAC systems. In this publication we provide tools and knowhow for more efficient HVAC commissioning. It gives answers for four major questions: why commissioning is needed, how to perform proper commissioning, which key performance issues of common HVAC equipment need to be considered, and what kind of checklists are used during commissioning? It covers the entire commissioning process beginning with the owner's project requirements and commissioning design reviews. Then, it explains procedures during installation and start-up of equipment followed by the functional performance testing, seasonal commissioning and 10 months'operation review.This publication is developed by Indian Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers ISHRAE for Indian and Asian requirements in conjunction with the Federation of European HVAC Associations REHVA. The process steps described in this publication are in line with all major international building standards and green building certification schemes.Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
