Book
Building services engineering
Building Services Engineering: Smart and Sustainable Design for Health and Wellbeing covers the design practices of existing engineering building services and how these traditional methods integrate with newer, smarter developments. These new developments include areas such as smart ventilation, smart glazing systems, smart batteries, smart lighting, smart soundproofing, smart sensors and meters. Combined, these all amount to a healthier lifestyle for the people living within these indoor climates. With over one hundred fully worked examples and tutorial questions, Building Services Engineering: Smart and Sustainable Design for Health and Wellbeing encourages the reader to consider sustainable alternatives within their buildings in order to create a healthier environment for users.

Cleaning the Air
This chapter introduces some of the significant parameters associated with particle dynamics and particle capture and aims to apply these to common particulate collections systems such as filters and electrostatic precipitators. The uncontrolled introduction of external gaseous pollutants or their internally generated equivalents, into living and working spaces, is coming under increasing scrutiny. The chapter discusses their characteristics and alleviation. It describes the nature of concentration and exposure. Particulate control technologies rely on a range of physical phenomena, i.e. gravity, centrifugal, electrostatic, and impaction forces, to capture and remove particulates from a flow stream. Gravity and centrifugal forces are generally not large enough to collect the smallest particles but are discussed as they introduce principles, such as laminar and well‐mixed particulate behaviour, important to more efficient devices. The pressure drops associated with clean‐up devices are usually correlated with flow rate or the mass of particles collected.

Refrigeration and Heat Pumps
Refrigeration relies on substances (refrigerants) which, when they evaporate, absorb heat from the surrounding air. The cooled, conditioned air is then introduced into the occupied space. The choice of refrigerant fluid used for cooling is based on three factors: thermal properties of fluid, costs of manufacture and operation, environmental impact. It is common to see a single machine with a dual function working as a heat pump and a refrigerator. The most common types of refrigeration plant used today are vapour compression and vapour absorption systems. However, there are alternative technologies based on different thermodynamic principles which are not yet used extensively due to their complexity or limitation in providing capacity. An adsorption refrigeration system usually consists of four main components: a solid adsorbent bed, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The steam jet refrigeration system relies on the pressure/velocity/evaporation temperature relationship in a fluid.
