[BLDG-SIM] Got textbook on energy-efficient building design and modeling?

[Pope, Stephen]

Hi Tom
 
I participated in the compilation of a good reference book, maybe more
of a reference for your class than a mandatory textbook, but excellent
for setting the appropriate context for renewable energy systems if they
are to satisfy the majority (if not all) of building needs.
 
"A handbook on Low-Energy Buildings and District Energy Systems" Edited
by Danny Harvey from University of Toronto. Published by Earthscan in
the UK. ISBN 1-84407-243-6.
 
Good general principles discussions. Cold climate and warm climate
applications. Summaries of examples and impacts of codes and standards.
 
Regards,
SFP

Greetings fellow BLDG-SIMmers,
 
Here's a question I'm hoping you all might be able to help me with. I
have the opportunity to teach a class spring quarter on energy modeling
and energy-efficient building design at our local technical college.
Students are juniors and seniors earning their degrees in renewable
energy engineering. 
 
Although I have plenty of reports and websites I can use for references
and resources, but I'd be interested in any recommendations you might
have for a suitable *textbook* on this subject. If you could go even one
better and suggest where/from whom I might get a desk copy for review,
I'd be much obliged.
 
Thanks for all your input. I'll be glad to follow up summarize your
suggestions in BLDG-SIM.
 
...Tom
