<p>The handbook is intended as a guide for librarians, building managers, and others concerned with reducing energy use and peak electric power demand in public library buildings. It provides a technical overview of each topic, basic terms and definitions of energy and power use, and is a primer for the reader without technical background in the field. It provides strategies, which range from simple to complex and inexpensive to costly, for both new construction and renovation of existing facilities. The manual provides a checklist of the most cost effective energy management approaches for new construction. Subsequent sections provide a summary of the most effective strategies to improve the energy performance of the building for lighting, HVAC, the building envelope, hot water systems, and electrical systems.</p>

Energy Management Strategies in Public Libraries

<p>Kitchen Centric puts a new spin on the typical kitchen design offering readers a book that is part art book, part fantasy, and part field guide. Internationally known kitchen designer Mick De Giulio takes readers on a guided tour through eighteen of his favorite kitchen projects in urban lofts, suburban homes, manor houses, mountain retreats, and an early twentieth-century barn. Delicious photographs roll through these kitchens, one after the next, like short films. Words are few, but critical if a bit quirky, like excerpts from De Giulio's own designer's journal. He takes his audience behind the scenes, explaining his challenges, his thinking, his choices, his process, and ultimately, his belief that kitchens are more central to American homes than ever before.</p>
