Preface
With the global warming and the rapid improvement of people’s living standards, energy consumption by air-conditioning (AC) systems in buildings is on the rise. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) and the US Department of Energy, the consumption of electrical energy by HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) systems in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors corresponds to 18.62 %, 16.20 %, and 2.34 % of the total electrical energy consumed in the USA, respectively (totalizing 37.16 %). In China, building sector accounted for 23.4 % and 28 % of total energy use in 2011 and 2012, respectively, and about half of total building energy is consumed by HVAC systems. Thus, energy conservation in HVAC systems will play an important role in search of solutions to meet the growing global energy demand. Any technological measures for HVAC systems’ energy consumption reduction require effective models based on which the high-performance HVAC systems
