This book supports HVAC planners in reducing the cooling energy demand; improving the indoor environment and designing more cost-effective building concepts. High performance buildings have shown that it is possible to go clearly beyond the energy requirements of existing legislation and obtaining good thermal comfort. However; there is still a strong uncertainty in day-to-day practice due to the lack of legislative regulations for mixed-mode buildings which are neither only naturally ventilated nor fully air-conditioned; but use a mix of different low-energy cooling techniques. Based on the findings from monitoring campaigns (long-term measurements in combination with field studies on thermal comfort); simulation studies; and a comprehensive review on existing standards and guidelines; this book acts as a commonly accessible knowledge pool for passive and low-energy cooling techniques.

Purchased book for "granny me time" with my pre-adolescent grandchildren. Works well; especially when I bar electronic use for few hours during our visits.3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. I did not like this book.By knittingcircuitThe projects are not interesting or inspiring. I have a lot of sewing books and this one is at the bottom of the pile. I will donate my copy to the library.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great for beginner or seasoned quilterBy Robert M. Sherrow*I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.*I am new to quilt-making and wanted to find something that would be beginner friendly. Although I believe this book wasnt necessarily intended for newbies; it has enough information and fantastic pictures depicting everything you need to know. As a beginner; I cant attest to whether or not the projects actually take 24 hours to make as the name implies; but since they are so easy; I assume anyone who has been making quilts a while could easily make any of them in the time allotted. My favorite patterns where the pinwheel patterns; especially the rugged pinwheels. I am making it for my bed; but I could see it being a great baby quilt as well. Ill admit I didnt like some of the fabrics used in the book; but that doesnt take away from the quilt patterns themselves. Changing out the fabric choices is easy enough.
