l\IANAGI~G ENERGY EFFICIENTLY IN HOTELS AND COMMERCIAL IJLILOINGS Pradeep Kumar, Amit Kumar Tyagi. Stud ies have revealed th at incorporation of energy-efficiency concepts reduces energy use in new buildings by 40% of that in conventiona l bu il dings, and in ex isting build ings by 20% by suitable retrofit app lication. Managing energy efficiently in hotels and commercial buildings would enable readers to understand the energy consuming systems in comme rc ia l bu il dings and equipment used in these systems, and how to find out their operating efficiencies . Th is book also helps in finding out areas where energy wastage takes place and suggests appropriate ene rgy-sav ing measures to optimi ze energy use in those areas. Case studi es provided at the end of each chapter would he lp better understand what has been discussed in the chapter. This publication is primaril y targetted at professionals involved in energy management and energy auditing of commercial buildings, practising system designers, energy consultants, students pursing degree in ene rgy sys tem s, and po licy makers responsible for developing and enforcing good energy practices in their organizations.

Ghosh Covering the entire gamut of cement and concrete technology, thi s five-vo lume seri es is an indispensable compendium for all professionals in this area. The series covers va rious aspects of cement and concrete technology-materials and their properi ies; manufacturing pr ocesses; state-of-the-art technology for cement manufacture; testing and qua li ty contro I; ut ili sation of low-grade raw materia ls for cement manufacture; advances in newer and spec ia l cements, energy conservation and environmental contro l in cement manufacture. Recent advances in almo st all important aspects ·of cement and concrete are included. Gives a complete picture of cement manufacture and the relationship between va ri ous aspec ts of man ufacture and use . The contributiors include internationally renowned speci a li sts in th e ir deals with two important areas that directly effect kiln avai lab il ity for prod uction. These two as pects dec ide if the cement plant wou ld make profit or loss during the year. At the moment there is no book that deals wi th th ese aspects. The lite rature on these subjects is scattered and the to tal ity of the subject is miss ing. The book a lso di sc usses various issues to improve the up– time of kil n and suggests remed ial measures for each problem area. In addition, the chapter on 'Refractory Management' is usefu l to all levels of management in controll ing and monitori ng the consumptio n of refracto ry pe r to n of c li nker producti on.
