NEW YORK -- Knovel Corporation (www.knovel.com), a leading provider of revolutionary Web-based information services that increase productivity for millions of engineers, scientists and librarians worldwide, announced today that it has partnered with Energy Institute Press to create an electronic version of the Energy Efficiency Manual. Since its publication in book form in 2000, the Energy Efficiency Manual has been universally recognized as the primary reference, how-to guide, and sourcebook for energy conservation in buildings and industry.

The Knovel offering is a fully interactive version of the Energy Efficiency Manual. Along with extremely fast topic searches, it provides highly integrated and cross-referenced hyperlinks, an expanded table of contents, and interactive tables and graphs. These new features dramatically increase the already famous user-friendliness of this essential reference. Organizations involved in designing and operating buildings and industrial facilities will find it even easier to lower their energy and water costs, improve comfort, avoid maintenance failures, and remain competitive in a time of soaring energy prices.

The Energy Efficiency Manual

The Energy Efficiency Manual is used to improve efficiency in all types of buildings and plants, ranging from houses to commercial buildings to large institutions and industrial plants. It is organized around 400 logically grouped energy conservation actions and cost saving measures covering the building structure, heating and air conditioning, central heating and cooling plants, water systems, lighting, use of sunlight, and common industrial equipment, such as boilers, electric motors, and pumps. The book is loaded with features to quickly find the right information for each application. Each measure has a unique Rating and Selection Scorecard, quickly identifying the best efficiency improvements for each application.

"The Energy Efficiency Manual is recognized as the leading publication in the field of energy conservation," said William Woishnis, co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Knovel Corporation.
