Focuses on a case study of a newly constructed passive cooled four-story building in a composite (monsoon) climate. The total initial embodied energy, CO2 emissions, annual energy saving and CO2 credit of the building were evaluated as part of the case study.

The book begins with availability, importance and applications of solar energy, definition of sun and earth angles and classification of solar energy as thermal and photon energy. Energy conservation by solar energy and energy matrices based on overall thermal and electrical performance of hybrid system are also discussed.

It covers all aspects of solar-energy based distillation and desalination for producing potable water resources, including radiation and heat transfer concepts, a history of solar distillation systems, and background on solar collectors.
