Planning and Installing Photovoltaic Systems
Growth in photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing worldwide continues to increase. In parallel, appropriate standards and certification schemes are being developed. During this period, clear guidance is crucial for integrating this technology into working practices of professionals in the building sector. This bestselling guide has become the essential tool for any installer, engineer and architect, offering guidance, and detailing every subject necessary for successful project implementation, from the technical design to the legal and market issues of PV installation. Beginning with resource assessment and an outline of the core components, this guide comprehensively covers system design, economic analysis, installation, operation and maintenance of PV systems. The book includes a free CD-ROM which contains essential software and additional material. The second edition has been fully updated to reflect the state-of-the-art in technology and concepts and includes: a new chapters on marketing and the history of PV; new information on the photovoltaic market; new material on lightning protection; a new section on building integrated systems; and new graphics, data, photos and software.
Planning and Installing Micro-Hydro Systems
further chapters cover specific aspects of turbine types for hydro, not previously covered thoroughly by published material new title for successful Planning & Installing series
Planning and Installing Solar Thermal Systems
Solar thermal systems available today offer efficiency and reliability. This book offers clear guidance on planning and installing a solar thermal system, crucial to the successful uptake of this technology. Every subject necessary for successful project implementation is included.
A Solar—Hydrogen Energy System
This book concerns one of the more persistent of the ideas that have been discussed in journals devoted to energy science during the last few years. It deals with the concept that hydrogen should be the medium of energy and the sun should be the source (and, in the interim, perhaps also coal, biomass, or nuclear fuel). The translation has been carried out by Dr. W. Schuh and Mrs. K. Claus in collaboration with me. Certain difficulties confronted us at an early stage, and our resolution of them requires some explanation. First, the chapters that we received from the original German authors were written at varying times during the 1980s. Some years later, for the anticipated publication in the United States, about half of the chapters were completely rewritten. The translation was done in 1984-1986. Second, the original volume is a German book. Most of the examples in it refer to the Federal Republic of Germany, although some extend to Europe in general.

Atlas of a Threatened Planet
How does our climate actually work? Should we worry about the global supply of drinking water? And can technology help reverse the damage we've done to the Earth? In Atlas of a Threatened Planet, award-winning book and graphic designer Esther Gonstalla digs into these questions and many more through her attractive and easy-to-understand infographics. Gonstalla turns her designer's eye to the most critical threats to our environment, from shrinking glaciers and declining biodiversity to shifting ocean currents. These accessible and fun illustrations will show readers that, although the threats are grave, not all is lost. Changes in technology, infrastructure, and our outlook can still help us protect the places we love. Atlas of a Threatened Planet will spark your curiosity and invite you to see the Earth in a new way. It is written for all who want to understand the interlocking pieces of our home--and fight for the best ideas and strategies to save it.

Building Skins
The external facades of a building are more than a protective mantle, or an intelligent skin regulating temperature and light, they also determine its very appearance. By unusual choices of materials and the use of complex technology, facades have become increasingly significant in recent years. External surfaces are being perceived as an integral part of the building and are therefore being designed as such. This volume focuses on the wide-ranging aspects of facade design, from the selection and use of materials to the advanced technical possibilities now open to the architect. A wide array of carefully selected international examples show the theory in the practice. All plans, details, and large scale sections of the facades have been researched with the high degree of competence typical of the editorial staff from the review Detail. Expert authors provide the essential information needed to plan and design facades and elucidate on the latest developments in technology and materials.
World Guide to Abbreviations of Organizations
This edition of well over 50,000 entries not only updates its predecessor but considerably increases the coverage of Latin America and Eastern Europe. I have been aided in this work by two colleagues at Glasgow University Library, Dr Lloyd Davies and Barbara MacMillan, and in general revision by Kate Richard. Close on 20% of the text has been altered. The equivalences, introduced into the last edition, linking acronyms in different languages for the same organization, have been extended. New to this edition is the cross-referencing between a defunct organization and its successor. Otherwise the policies adopted in previous editions have been retained: strictly local organizations are omitted...
Regionale Entwicklungseffekte durch die Nutzung von Solarenergie
Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Mit der CO2-Minderungs-Selbstverpflichtung nach der Rio-Folgekonferenz in Kyoto, steigenden Ölpreisen und dem Atomausstieg im Hintergrund, rückt die Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien immer mehr ins Blickfeld. Der Einwand, sie seien zu teuer, soll in der vorliegenden Arbeit untersucht werden. Anhand der Insel Rügen werden regionalwirtschaftliche Folgen von Solarenergie-Nutzung beleuchtet. Schwerpunkt sind Kapitalflüsse im Solarinstallations- sowie Image- und Wirtschaftseffekte im Tourismusbereich. Gegenwärtig werden auf Rügen jährlich 2.300 DM/Einwohner für Energie aufgewendet und fließen überwiegend ab. Es wird gezeigt, daß die aktive Sonnenenergienutzung dur...
