The Sustainable HVAC Masterclass: Designing for Net-Zero Energy and Environmental Stewardship

By Charles Nehme

The modern building sector stands at a critical juncture. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are indispensable to comfort and productivity, yet they are the single largest consumer of energy in a typical commercial building, often accounting for total consumption. This profound energy use presents both a colossal challenge and an unparalleled opportunity for innovation. The pursuit of sustainability is no longer an optional luxury-it is an economic, regulatory, and moral necessity.

This book is a comprehensive guide dedicated to transforming design and operation from an energy drain into a core driver of building performance and environmental stewardship. We move beyond simple component efficiency toward a holistic approach that demands the integration of high-efficiency chillers and boilers, the precision of Variable Frequency Drives , the intelligence of Energy Recovery Systems, and the power of Smart Controls and Building Management Systems . Furthermore, we explore the essential future of building systems, focusing on electrification, the transition to Low- refrigerants, and the seamless integration with renewable energy sources.

Written for the professional who recognizes that the most sustainable building is the one that minimizes its needs, this masterclass provides the practical knowledge and advanced strategies necessary to achieve Net-Zero Energy goals. It is designed to be the definitive resource for engineers and designers committed to creating high-performance buildings that thrive within the critical frameworks of and standards.
