Energy Economics of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning System

Authors: Dr. Ram Ji Tripathi, Dr. Varun Kumar Singh, Mr. Suraj, and Mr. Sumit Singh

The book “Energy Economics of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning System” presents a comprehensive study of the integration of solar energy technologies into HVAC systems—a step toward sustainable building design and energy-efficient infrastructure in India and beyond. As the global community transitions toward renewable energy, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) sector remains one of the most energy-intensive domains, responsible for a significant share of power consumption and carbon emissions. This book addresses this critical challenge by exploring the economic, environmental, and technological dimensions of solar-assisted HVAC systems.

Beginning with the background of solar energy development in India, the book highlights the nation’s growing potential in clean energy generation under initiatives such as the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) and the International Solar Alliance (ISA). The subsequent chapters provide an in-depth understanding of HVAC fundamentals, current solar policies, technological advancements, and economic feasibility analyses—including capital investment, operational costs, life-cycle analysis, and payback evaluation.

Through a combination of research data, analytical models, and case studies, the authors present a practical framework for engineers, researchers, and policymakers to evaluate the financial viability and sustainability of solar-powered HVAC systems. The book also discusses barriers to adoption, such as intermittency, integration complexity, and high upfront costs, while highlighting government incentives and subsidies that can accelerate the transition toward green HVAC solutions.

By bridging theory with real-world applications, this book aims to promote an understanding of the energy economics driving modern HVAC systems powered by renewable energy sources. It serves as an essential reference for students, academicians, engineers, and energy professionals interested in sustainable technologies, building energy efficiency, and climate-conscious innovation.

“A step toward clean energy transformation — combining science, policy, and economics for a sustainable HVAC future.”
