Temperature and Humidity Independent Control (THIC) of Air-conditioning System focuses on temperature and humidity independent control (THIC) systems, which represents a new concept and new approach for indoor environmental control. This book presents the main components of the THIC systems, including dehumidification devices, high-temperature cooling devices and indoor terminal devices. Other relevant issues, such as operation and control strategy and case studies, are also included.

This book is intended for air-conditioning system designers and engineers as well as researchers working with indoor environments.

Double carbon targets have been one of the most motivations and targets for China’s social and economic development. Building is one of the most important sectors to achieve energy savings and emission reductions. This book focuses on China’s building energy usage and CO2 emissions, discusses the status quo of China’s building energy of four categories, their characteristics and technologies to improve energy efficiency and achieve zero-carbon emissions. Specifically, this book in 2021 discussed the pathways to achieve carbon neutrality targets for China’s building sector. This book also analyzed the energy mix, energy intensity, and technology perspectives to implement energy and carbon targets in urban residential building areas. This book consists of large-scale survey data, monitoring data and case studies. The discussion on technologies and policies is supported by a variety of evidence and continuous research for more than ten years. The information, data and policy suggestions will interest readers all around the world who work in energy, climate change, engineering and building science areas.

One of the key motivations and goals for China''s social and economic development is the dual carbon target. Building is one of the most important sectors to reduce emissions and save energy, accounting for more than 20% of China''s primary energy consumption and carbon emissions.

This book analyzes the energy consumption of China''s buildings sector in four categories, their characteristics and technologies to improve energy efficiency, and examines the greenhouse gas emissions of China''s buildings, including building construction embodied emission and building operation emissions. In particular, this book discusses the ways to achieve carbon neutrality targets for China''s public and commercial building sectors. This book also analyzes the energy mix, energy intensity, and technological prospects for achieving energy and carbon targets in the public and commercial building sectors.

This book highlights the maritime applications of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) with emphasis on BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). The book systematically summarizes the technical standards for maritime applications of GNSS issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and other relevant international organizations. It covers the development history and future prospects of the international standardization of BDS’ maritime applications. Various applications of BDS in maritime navigation, including the radio determination service system, the global maritime distress and safety system, the automatic identification system, the vessel monitoring system, the long-range identification and tracking system, and the maritime ground-based augmentation system, are introduced. Promising new directions are put forward. This book is intended for technical engineers in maritime communication and navigation. It is also a valuable reference for researchers, graduate students, and upper-level undergraduate students in maritime-related majors.
