Neil Campbell: PhD Building Physics, Associate of BDSP Partnership. Alan Harries: PhD Fluid Dynamics, Principal Wind Energy Consultant for BDSP Partnership BDSP Partnership are international consulting engineers specialising in building services, sustainability, energy efficiency and masterplanning. From their inception in 1995, BDSP Partnership's core design principles have focussed on energy demand reduction (through intelligent application of passive design principles and specification of energy efficient systems in buildings) combined with the integration of high efficiency energy supply and renewable technologies. Klappentext With radical implications for the generation of renewable energy in the city and hence our environment as a whole! this landmark book examines wind enhancement and integration techniques and address aesthetic! aerodynamic! architectural! environmental! and structural constraints. It discusses turbulence levels in detail! design guidance is given to aid performance prediction! and a methodology is provided to assess UWECS (urban wind energy conversion systems) from economic and environmental perspectives. International case studies are included! complemented by the results from a project field-testing a two-story prototype building with an integrated wind turbine. Zusammenfassung Energy security, rising energy prices (oil, gas, electricity), 'peak oil', environmental pollution, nuclear energy, climate change and sustainable living are hot topics across the globe. This title offers real world examples and provides a framework to assess viability in energy, environmental and economic terms.
