Features: The building energy consumption in China's civil buildings already accounts for more than 25% of the country's total energy consumption. With economic development and improved living standards, building energy consumption will continue to grow significantly. To vigorously develop a circular economy and build a resource-conserving society, it is essential to accelerate the application and development of renewable energy, including solar energy, in buildings. Since the late 1990s, China's solar water heater industry has developed rapidly. To promote the practical application of solar water heating systems in building projects, the design and installation of solar water heating systems should be considered as part of the overall building design and construction. This has already become a consensus in the construction industry and the solar energy utilization sector, and has received strong support from the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and various provincial and municipal governments and related institutions.
As an engineering technology manual on solar water heating systems for civil buildings, this book systematically introduces the basic knowledge of solar energy utilization, performance parameters of solar collector systems, applicable codes, and more. It provides detailed explanations on the design, construction, project acceptance, operation and maintenance, management, and energy-saving benefit analysis of solar water heating systems, along with numerous engineering case studies for reference. It is believed that the publication of this book will play a significant role in improving the design standards of solar water heating systems in civil buildings and accelerating their application and promotion.
This book is suitable for use or reference by a wide range of professionals, including architectural and civil engineering designers, construction enterprises technicians, university teachers and students, and other relevant personnel.
