\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAir Conditioning with Natural Energy\u003c/i\u003e is a comprehensive examination of the principles, theory, applications, and energy saving performance of newly developed technologies for air conditioning using natural energy. Based on the latest research and real-world case studies from North America, Europe, and China, the book provides an engineering perspective on the design and application of air conditioning from multiple climates.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into two parts. Part I examines the range of air conditioning technologies that use natural energy. This includes enhanced treatment technologies for outdoor air such as earth-to-air heat exchanger, fresh air pre-handling system using shallow geothermal energy, as well as newly developed technologies such as pipe-embedded wall, nocturnal cooling wall, and pipe-embedded window systems. With particular focus on applications in China, Part II provides real world case studies from multiple climatic zones, demonstrating the practical application and implementation of these technologies. Each case study analyses the carbon emission reduction potential, energy saving potential and the operational performance of the technologies.\u003c/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eAir Conditioning with Natural Energy\u003c/i\u003e is an invaluable review of the latest developments in air conditioning technologies for practicing engineers, researchers, and students involved in the design and implementation of HVAC systems or working in the fields of thermal and mechanical engineering and the sustainable built environment.\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eExplains the theory and principles underpinning the latest and most important air conditioning technologies with natural energy\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eProvides a new decision-making index and revised degree hours to evaluate the energy saving potential of different air conditioning technologies with natural energy, helping readers identify the most suitable air conditioning technology for any climate zone\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAnalyzes the energy saving potential of different technologies from real projects in different climate zones and calculates the contribution of carbon emission reduction that can be achieved globally\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e
