They offer some unique advantages over solar water systems, can offer improved comfort and fuller use of solar gains than passive solar systems and are a natural fit with mechanically ventilated buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThey can be economical, with short pay-back periods and can act not only as space heating or ventilation air heating but also for water pre-heating, sunshading, electricity generation (with hybrid photovoltaic systems) and can help induce cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis design handbook takes architects and building engineers through the process of designing and selecting an active solar system from the six types presented, optimizing the system using nomograms and curves, and finally dimensioning the components of the system. Tips are offered regarding the construction and how to avoid problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will provide essential design information for all architects, building engineers and other building design professionals and all those concerned to reduce the environmental impact of buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Hastings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1873936869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781873936863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 8.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Robert Hastings","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448010158335,"sku":"9781873936863","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8cc6fe80-cb53-4dac-b9c8-5238977e504e.jpg?v=1777236288","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/solar-air-systems-robert-hastings-9781873936863","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
