Thermoactive Foundations for Sustainable Buildings
“Thermoactive Foundations for Sustainable Buildings” by John Scott McCartney, published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2015, is a detailed exploration of Thermo-Active Foundations (TAFs) and their role in sustainable building practices. This 120-page monograph presents the current state-of-the-art in TAF technology, which serves as an innovative alternative to traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The book aims to document the efficiency of TAFs in heating and cooling both commercial and residential structures across various regions.
Readers will find a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the modeling, design, and monitoring of TAFs. The text emphasizes the multi-disciplinary approach necessary for understanding the structural and thermal performance of these systems. By compiling significant research and practical applications, this work serves as a valuable resource for professionals and researchers interested in architecture, sustainability, and engineering technologies related to the built environment.
Official synopsis Publisher
This monograph documents the current of state-of-art in Thermo-Active Foundations (TAFs) suitable for efficiently and sustainably heat and cooling buildings. TAFs, also referred to as thermal or energy piles, offer innovative and sustainable alternatives to ground-source heat pumps as well as other conventional heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to heat and cool commercial as well as residential buildings in several regions in the world. In summary, this monograph collects the latest multi-disciplinary advances in modeling, designing, and monitoring TAFs. Ultimately, it is hoped that this monograph will provide a comprehensive reference for both researchers and professionals interested in structural and thermal performance of TAFs and their applications in developing integrated and sustainable equipment and systems for the built environment.
