Description

This second volume in the Technologies of Architecture series ndash; the only series of books tuned to the architectural technology syllabus ndash; explores the environmental influences on building design.Looking particularly at sustainable building; a holistic view is taken; so that the influence of any one set of choices on other areas ndash; such as the trade-off of daylighting against thermal insulation; or the balance needed between heating and ventilation ndash; are not overlooked. The authors discuss available technologies for establishing a suitable microclimate within buildings; for managing the transmission of sound and for minimizing the exploitation of scarce energy and of other resources.Using the perspective of a designer who needs a sound scientific basis for arriving at the optimum outcome; this valuably informative volume is ideal for architectural technology students; as well as first and second year architecture students.
