Solar Energy: A Design Guide for Building Professionals

An authoritative reference on the design of solar energy systems in building projects, with applications, operating principles, and simple tools, for the construction, engineering, and design professional.  The book simplifies the solar design and engineering process and provides sample documentation (diagrams, cost estimates, specifications) so that a staff engineer at a design firm can use the book to deliver a solar project. The special tools that provide all the information for complete design of a solar energy system for buildings are not to be found in any other book. This book will enable mainstream MEP and design firms, not just the solar energy specialists, to meet the growing demand for solar in building projects.
