D. Yogi Goswami is a distinguished university professor and director of the Clean Energy Research Center at the University of South Florida. He conducts fundamental and applied research on solar thermal power and cooling, photocatalytic detoxification and disinfection, thermodynamics, third-generation photovoltaics, and hydrogen production and storage. Professor Goswami is the editor in chief of Solar Energy and Progress in Solar Energy. He has published as an author or editor 19 books and more than 375 refereed technical papers. He also holds 17 patents, some of which have been successfully commercialized. Frank Kreithis professor emeritus of engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA. He received his MS in engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles, USA and his doctorate from the University of Paris in 1964. From 1953 to 1959, he was associate professor of mechanical engineering at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA. In 1959, he joined the University of Colorado, where he held appointments as professor of mechanical and chemical engineering. He was senior research fellow at the Solar Energy Research Institute, and has consulted for NATO, the U.S. Agency of International Development, and the United Nations.

• Preface. Editors. Contributors. Planning for Sustainability. Transportation. Economics Methods. Analysis Methods for Building Energy Auditing. Electrical Energy Management in Buildings. Heating, Ventilating, and Air-Conditioning Control Systems. Energy-Efficient Lighting Technologies and Their Applications in the Residential and Commercial Sectors. Energy-Efficient Technologies: Major Appliances and Space Conditioning Equipment. Heat Pumps. Industrial Energy Efficiency and Energy Management. Electric Motor Systems Efficiency. Energy Storage Technologies. Demand-Side Management. Index.

"The book describes sustainable energy efficient technologies and processes in buildings and in the industry as well as in electrical systems to achieve desirable levels of energy savings. This helps in green development mechanism. The economics methods can adequately be used to calculate the cost of energy saving methods and technologies and manage the same in an environment friendly manner."—Professor N. K. Bansal, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi"A book for the Design Community at Project Level, presented to meet Post Kyoto scenario. An excellent decision supporting guide in Energy Efficiency and Conservation for those who will be instrumental in heralding the new economic order."— Ajith P. de Alwis, University of Moratuwa, Moratuwa, Sri Lanka"It covers the main aspects of what is needed to be known for energy management in buildings. The fact that chapters are presented by different authors according with their expertise makes the content to be strong and updated. The demand-side management (Chapter 13) is a relevant topic."—Nelson Fumo, The University of Texas at Tyler, USA"The Energy Management and Conservation Handbook is a necessary component of the "toolbox" that all the energy engineering students, researchers and practitioners should have."— Vincenzo Bianco, University of Genoa, Italy
