Energy-Efficient Electrical Systems for Buildings, Second Edition offers a systematic and practical approaches to design and analyze electrical distribution and utilization systems in buildings. It considers safety and energy efficiency, while also focusing on sustainability and resiliency, to design electrical distribution systems for buildings. Utilizing energy efficiency, sustainability, and resiliency as important criteria, the book discusses how to meet the minimal safety requirements, set by the National Electrical Code (NEC), to select electrical power systems for buildings. It also considers the impact of building electrification on the design of electrical power systems. The second edition features a new chapter on the optimal design energy efficient and resilient power systems. In addition, the book includes new end-of-chapter problems, examples, and case studies to enhance and reinforce student understanding. The book is intended for senior undergraduate mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering students taking courses in Electrical Systems for Buildings and Design of Building Electrical Systems. Instructors will be able to utilize an updated Solutions Manual and figure slides for their course. This eBook+ offers the following enhancements: Interactive multiple-choice and short answer problems to encourage active learning Lecture summaries and slides for instructor and student use
