• make use of free energy for lighting and managing heat loss and gain.

It also contains special chapters on:

• ventilation, heating and cooling

• demand management through automated systems

• lighting

• most requirements of industrial facilities

• regulatory requirements in Britain, Europe and the United States

• the use of smart meters and monitoring

• how to achieve zero energy buildings

• the use of renewable energy.
