The world over energy resources are getting scarcer and their prices are becoming increasingly exorbitant with time. The industrial sector is the largest consumer of electricity and thermal energy resources like oil natural gas coal and lignite. The sector therefore has dual responsibilities utilizing energy efficiently in its own operations and offering energy efficient products and services. Improved energy efficiency would not only reduce energy costs and lead to higher profit levels in industry but also help ion conserving energy resources. It will also substantially reduce environmental pollution resulting from energy production and consumption. Both developed and developing countries are searching for newer ways of conserving energy resources as well as preserving the environment which industry could adopt. Energy audits are one such important means to identify energy conservation opportunities in the industrial sector. They indicate the ways in which different forms of energy are used and quantify energy use according to discrete functions in a given facility. This Handbook on energy audit and environment management discusses the nuances of industrial energy conservation and environmental audits. It enables users to understand the operation of various equipment and systems and to identify ways of saving energy during industrial operations. Global warming coupled with the looming energy crisis the world over has thrown new challenges to humanity. While sustaining the economic growth every country will have to put concerted efforts and adopt new and clean energy options in the future. This handbook also discusses environmental management in industries vis a vis the potential of renewable energy as a viable future energy option. It is a must read for every professional interested in energy and environment management and auditing. 290 pp.
