Based on the Body of Knowledge, this book is designed to serve as a practical guide for energy professionals preparing to take AEE's Certified Energy Manager® (CEM®) examination. The reference presents an overview of the specific areas of expertise referenced in the current Body of Knowledge in a guided preparatory format, including detailed, specifically targeted reference materials. The full scope of energy calculations and problem solving strategies which must be mastered are presented, covering relevant codes and standards, energy accounting and economics, electrical, lighting and HVAC systems, motors and drives, industrial systems, building envelope, building automation and control systems, renewable energy, boiler and steam systems, thermal storage, maintenance, commissioning, alternative financing, and much more. Green Building, LEED and Energy Star programs are also addressed. The appendix provides a broad range of useful reference tables, as well as mathematical formulas specific to each specific area of energy management addressed. While aimed at those taking the ANSI-certified CEM exam, this text is also an excellent reference to be used throughout an energy manager's professional career.

The patient room is the smallest cell of the hospital organism. Its layout determines the structure of the ward and is therefore a decisive factor for the entire building. Many requirements have to be met. The patient's sense of well-being can be positively influenced by the design: homely materials, an attractive view and sufficient privacy are important objectives. Equally important are the working conditions for the staff, especially short distances and an efficient care routine. Finally, even the risk of infection can be reduced by a conscientiously planned room layout. This publication provides a systematic overview of the design task patient room and shows exemplary solutions: both typologically and in selected case studies

Understanding how gravity loads and wind and earthquake loads flow through a building is of utmost importance to all structural engineers and architects. Paradoxically, this critical idea is practically not addressed in any textbook on the market. Meant as a companion to the author’s Structures: A Geometric Approach, this textbook fills that need with qualitative techniques as well as quantitative tools that use state of the art visual representation of forces and deformations in structures. Structures: A Studio Approach reaches out to both structural engineers and designers by presenting structural engineering topics in an interdisciplinary studio environment. Using many graphical techniques, it offers a very rigorous approach, but also enables creativity. Cutting edge finite element as well as parametric modeling tools are used, and state of the art visual representations of force flow help both groups of students realize that understanding three dimensional load flow in a building is a requirement for channeling that flow in a structurally efficient and visually expressive manner. Ultimately, the reader is able to develop a unique structural sensibility; an ethos that places structural design on an equal footing with the design of program, skin, massing and site. .

Lieux de réception, d'administration et de représentation, les ambassades sont également des architectures d'exception. Ces témoignages extraterritoriaux d'une présence nationale impliquent non seulement un dialogue avec le pays d'accueil et ses traditions mais aussi l'affirmation d'une culture. Dans cette dialectique se situe l'originalité du programme diplomatique, qui constitue en outre, pour tout architecte, une commande sans équivalent et généralement unique dans une carière. Oeuvres des figures parmi les plus marquantes du XXe siècle (Le Corbusier, Eugène Beaudouin, Roger-Henri Expert, Georges-Henri Pingusson, Bernard Zehrfuss, Christian de Portzamparc...), les sept exemples réunis dans cet ouvrage illustrent la spectaculaire modernisation d'un programme pourtant fortement marqué par la tradition. Formes, matériaux, espaces de travail, insertion dans la ville, intégration des arts : tous ces ingrédients se renouvellent progressivement tandis que perdure une attention particulière aux espaces de la diplomatie.
