Guide to Energy Management, Seventh Edition 7th Edition

The book to buy is this one: "Guide to Energy Management", by Capehart, Turner and Kennedy. This is "the bible" for the fundamentals of energy management. Like the other reviewer (Anthony Duer), I started with "The Energy Management Handbook", which proved to be a waste of my time and money. It appeared to be a compilation of material from different sources; poorly edited, and disjunct. The "Guide" is the one.

The book is very well laid out and contains step by step solution to procatical problems for each chapter. The authors' experience in real world helps the reader gain that experience from using this book.

great book i purchased to my Master study in sustainability management and fit with course syllabus

Great reference for a college student or someone getting their feet wet, but is now dated. There is very limited material on new high performance buildings and equipment, and lots of time spent of boiler technologies that you would be hard pressed to find.

Outstanding

Not well writen. Authors had very limited real worl experience and it shows. Example: Ignored a one pipe HVAC system. Probably because they have no idea what it is. Number two. they said an HVAC Grill was an inline device used to catch bugs, debris and lint. really? Then what is my filter for? I could go on and on.

Great, as listed

Great book for starters!
