Preface
Theglobalutilizationofthevariouscarbon-basedenergyresourcesisincreasingas
the population increases, urbanization increases, and standard of living improves.
Thisincreaseofenergyutilizationisresultinginemissionofgreenhousegasesand
in delicate global energy politics. The building sector is one of the primary con-
sumersofenergysourcestoprovideforthedifferingenergyneedsofbuildingsfor
their occupants.
Themaintenanceofacomfortableandhealthyindoorenvironmentisoneofthe
mainconsumersofabuilding’senergy.Inatemperateclimate,themaintenanceof
a comfortable indoor environment is very important, particularly during the cold
winter season. In a subtemperate climate, the application during both winter and
summer seasons is important for providing a thermally comfortable indoor envi-
ronment. In hot and humid climates such as in the tropics, providing cool,
low-humidity indoor air is very important.
Aheating,ventilating,andair-conditioning(HVAC)systemisneededtoprovide
the required comfortable indoor thermal environment and air quality. This system
controls the air temperature by cooling the air during the hot season and heating it
duringthecoldseason.Thesystemreducestheairhumiditycontentbycoolingthe
airbelowthedewpoint.Inaddition,theintroductionoffilteredoutdoorairprovides
for the required air quality and minimizes the buildup of indoor pollutants. The
desiccant heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (DHVAC) system is an alter-
nativethatcanprovidetheneededcomfortableindoorthermalenvironmentandthe
required indoor air quality.
TheprogressoftheDHVACsystemrecentlyhasbeenrapidasshowninseveral
scientific and engineering papers published annually. Installations in both demon-
strationandactualbuildingsintemperateandsubtemperateclimatesandinhotand
humid climates such as in tropical regions have been carried out using DHVAC.
Experts from around the world were invited to contribute to this book covering
fundamental aspects, recent research and development, and actual installation and
applications. The editors are grateful for the support of well-known and very
busy experts in the field for their contributions to the chapters of this book.

TheeditorsarealsothankfultoSpringerforpublishingthisbookasoneofthemain
contributions to the progress and advancement of DHVAC systems.
Thebookeditors,thechaptercontributors,andthepublisherarehopefulthatasa
resultofthisvolume,morefundamentalresearchwork,noveldesign,andpractical
engineering can be developed further by scientists, researchers, engineers, and
graduate students for a more comfortable indoor thermal environment and higher
quality indoor air in the most energy-efficient way. We believe this can be
accomplished by the practical application of the DHVAC system along with the
utilization of available alternative energy sources.
