The International Journal of Ambient Energy is a forumfor the worldwide dissemination of new information onself-regenerating sources of energyand their potentialuse to serve the needs of Man.Solar Energy,WindEnergy,Wave Energy,Tidal Energy,GeothermalEnergy abound in the world but are largely untappedProducing usable power from these sources of energyis the subject for active reasearch in a world newlyaware of the rapid depletion of finite reserves of fossilfuel.This reasearch and its application to supportMan's activities is documented in The InternationalJournal of Ambient Energy. The largest single use of energy in many countries isfor environmental control in buildings.The applicationof ambient energy for this purpose will receiveparticular emphasis in The International Journal ofAmbient Energy which will cover the design andconstruction of buildings and complexes to utilisenatural energy sources as well as technicalinformation on design and performance of the heating,hot water and air conditioning systems required tomake practical use of the energy available. Papers and Reviews The International Journal of Ambient Energy containspapers on original research,development of newtechnology and practical applications of ambientenergy along with case studies and review papersdescribing the present state of knowledge of aresearch topic or application area.The Journalcontains a lively book review section with reviews andassessments in English of appropriate new books andmonographs from all parts of the world.
