The 2009 Import and Export Market for Central Heating Boilers Excluding Steam Power-Generating Boilers in Asia

The 2009 Import and Export Market for Central Heating Boilers Excluding Steam Power-Generating Boilers in Asia Review

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the market in Asia face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying central heating boilers excluding steam power-generating boilers to Asia? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of central heating boilers excluding steam power-generating boilers vary from one country to another in Asia? Do exporters serving the market in Asia have similar market shares across the importing countries? On the supply side, Asia also sells to the international market of central heating boilers excluding steam power-generating boilers. Which countries in Asia supply the most exports of central heating boilers excluding steam power-generating boilers? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for central heating boilers excluding steam power-generating boilers in Asia. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for central heating boilers excluding steam power-generating boilers for those countries serving Asia via exports or supplying from Asia via imports. We do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Asia fits into the world market for imported and exported central heating boilers excluding steam power-generating boilers. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Asia in particular, is based on a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the shares that countries in Asia are likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize markets within Asia. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information for strategic planning purposes.

Heating Services in Buildings

Heating Services in Buildings Review

Water based heating systems are efficient, flexible, versatile and offer many advantages over other heating systems. These advantages (fast response, good controllability, efficient zonal heating and largely silent operation) all require that initial design, installation, commissioning and maintenance be carried out to a high standard by competent engineers.

Heating Services in Buildings provides the reader with a detailed and thorough understanding of the principles and elements of heating buildings using modern water based heating systems. A key theme of the book is that there is little difference, in the approach to the design and engineering, between domestic and commercial installations. The author’s detailed but highly practical approach to the subject ensures there is sufficient information for students from both a craft background and those with more academic backgrounds to understand the material. This approach is complemented by straightforward, easy-to-use diagrams.

Heating Services in Buildings supports a range of educational courses, including degree level building services engineering; NVQ Level 4 Higher Professional Diploma in Building Services Engineering; City & Guilds supplementary heating course and the Heating Design and Installation Course accredited by the European Registration Scheme (ERS).

The book’s companion website www.wiley.com/go/watkins offers invaluable resources for practitioners, lecturers, students and community activists with generously illustrated sets of PowerPoint slides to accompany each chapter.

Energy Management in Illuminating Systems

Energy Management in Illuminating Systems Review

As our dependence on and need for abundant energy grows, it becomes increasingly important for engineers and managers to develop and maintain energy efficient systems and build effective energy management programs. Energy Management in Illuminating Systems presents the latest concepts, innovative methods, and state-of-the art technologies in commercial or industrial lighting systems and energy management.

An effective energy management program comprises three essential elements: organization, technology, and economics. However, the success of any management program clearly must begin with an energy effective illuminating system, which in turn depends upon using sound engineering analysis and design principles during the projects early stages.

In this book, the author-with long and unique experience in the field-provides the details of proven methods for achieving these goals. He presents:

How to organize and operate the illumination energy management program

The elements of designing energy effective illuminating systems-systems that can also increase worker productivity and reduce operating costs

The latest in efficient system components, including light sources, ballasts, and luminaires

How to evaluate energy efficiency, including discussion of the impact of energy efficient equipment on power quality, harmonics, the "K" factor, and lighting energy standards

Energy Management in Illuminating Systems shows how to design and manage energy effective lighting systems for industrial or commercial facilities. With this book, designers, engineers, and managers finally have a complete, how-to guide for applying practical energy management principles to various systems of illumination.
