EMERGENCY & BACKUP POWER SOURCES: PREPARING FOR BLACKOUTS & BROWNOUTS
|
|
|
This book provides invaluable information on
emergency and backup power sources, as we
experience an aging power distribution system that
often fails to provide reliable power. The massive
power outage in the summer of 2003 that affected
eight states and parts of Canada is one example. The
reader will find much useful information on the types
of systems that can take over during power
interruptions, such as standby power systems that
employ batteries, kinetic energy storage, fuel cells,
reciprocating engines, and turbines. Topics include,
power disturbances and interruptions, spikes and
noise, sags and surges, blackouts and brownouts,
surge suppression, voltages regulation, load
management, power quality issues, reliability and
maintainability, comparison of operating costs,
environmental issues, blackout planning, emergency
procedures, and more.

BIOTERRORISM: A GUIDE FOR FACILITY MANAGERS
|
|
|
In the current climate of terrorism, the facility
manager is in a more critical position than ever
before. Protecting the organization's building and its
occupants from chemical, biological and radiological
(CBR) attacks that are designed to disrupt and/or
destroy business operation is becoming an
increasingly important priority for facility managers.
This book addresses CBR attacks, as well as other
forms of terrorism concerns, such as mailroom
security, bomb threats, etc., along with the
necessary steps for prevention, how to assess
vulnerability, how to improve emergency
preparedness, and how to assure optimum response
and recovery in the event of an attack. Examples
of "lessons learned" and mistakes to avoid are also
included.

DISASTER & RECOVERY PLANNING, New Edition
|
|

Natural Disasters, Terrorism, Fire, and the Key of
Contingency Planning Discussed.
The key to understanding the complexities of disaster
preparedness and business continuity lies in focusing
upon the issue of prevention, or mitigation. The
completely revised third edition of this best-selling
reference speaks to the issues of prevention, as well
as "controlling" the effects of a disaster on a
company's operations. Critical areas covered include
contingency planning, loss prevention, facility
evacuation, employee training, chain of command,
checklists, computer and data protection, bomb
threat response, standby power, self-inspection, and
more. Topics added or expanded in the third edition
include workplace violence, regulatory influence
including the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, and
effective mitigation strategies, and managing the
disaster and recovery effort. Also discussed in depth
is the role of the media to provide the facility
manager with a framework for enlisting the media's
assistance in recovery planning. Every facility should
have a copy of this important reference on hand.

SMALL-SCALE COGENERATION HANDBOOK, Second Edition
|
|
|
As the technologies for small-scale cogeneration
have advanced over the last decade, a greater
number of commercial, institutional, governmental and
industrial energy users are seeing the advantages
offered by these highly efficient systems.
Cogeneration can now turn up to 90% of the fuel
burned into usable energy - compared to just 52%
of the fuel typically burned in the local power plant
and in a separate existing hot water heating system.
In addition, because cogeneration uses less fuel,
overall fewer pollutants are emitted into the
atmosphere. Cogenerators are also well positioned to
benefit from today's more liberalized and competitive
energy markets. The fully updated second edition of
this comprehensive, best selling reference provides a
wealth of information to assist you in evaluating the
feasibility and potential benefits of cogeneration for
your facility. Covered in detail are recent regulatory
developments and their impact, system selection and
sizing, permitting requirements, operation and
maintenance, financing, technology basics, micro
turbines, absorption chillers, distributed generation,
and case histories.

INVESTMENT GRADE ENERGY AUDIT
|
|
|
This book was written to give energy-involved
professionals the tools they need to take their energy
audits to the next level, and use them to accurately
predict a building's future energy use and true
savings potential. Going beyond the conventional
energy audit, which can lead to projections which are
frequently off by as much as plus or minus 20%, this
book provides detailed guidelines on how to use the
new tool, the investment grade audit (IGA), which
enables prediction of savings with much greater
accuracy. Building on the traditional audit, the IGA
requires the addition of a "risk assessment
component" which evaluates conditions in a specific
building and/or process and reduces the level of
uncertainty as to how proposed energy efficiency
measures will really behave over time.
