The document discusses energy management in buildings and intelligent building technologies. It covers topics like energy use in buildings, thermal comfort, visual comfort, indoor air quality, climate responsive design, and building energy management systems. Building energy management systems aim to optimize energy use while maintaining indoor comfort through controls on HVAC, lighting, and other building systems.

33. Heat Conduction Heat transfer through a material, from one molecule to the next is called conduction. The heat entering this metal rod is flowing to the ends.

34. Convection When we move heat by circulating a medium like air or water, we call the process: convection. The coolant circulating in the cooling system transfers heat from the engine to the radiator and the warm or cool air circulating through the vehicle are both examples of convection.

35. Radiation The heat transfer from the Sun to the Earth is an example of radiation. Heat is transferred, but it does not warm the medium (space) through which it passes. Radiant heat will warm the interior and exterior of a vehicle that is parked in the sun.
