Indem wir Energie verbrauchen, wandeln wir sie in Nutzenergie um. Damit erfullen wir "Energiedienstleistungen" - etwa die Beheizung oder Beleuchtung von Raumen. Gegliedert nach verschiedenen Energiedienstleistungen stellen die Autoren die physikalisch-technischen Gesetzmaigkeiten dar. Hierbei zeigt sich, welche quantitative Bedeutung einzelne Energieverbrauchsbereiche haben und welche Moglichkeiten es gibt, Energie rationeller zu nutzen. Fur Ingenieure in der Energieversorgung und -beratung sowie Studierende der Energietechnik und -wirtschaft.
