Naturally Ventilated Buildings - Building for the senses, the economy and society (Hardcover)

Working and living habits are changing rapidly. Increasingly we need low energy, low pollution, low waste, healthy buildings. Naturally responsive buildings are more likely to achieve these criteria. While there are many historical examples of successful naturally ventilated buildings, standards for indoor climate have tended to emphasize active, mechanical airflow systems rather than passive natural systems. Despite its importance, knowledge about the performance of naturally ventilated buildings has remained comparatively sparse. This text contains 10 key research papers on the subject. The design, construction and management of healthy buildings requires co-operation between professionals and the client - architects, engineers and facilities managers must work together to achieve the best results. This book should be useful as a reference for the professional and client alike, as well as for higher level undergraduate and postgraduate studies in building services engineering, architecture and architectural engineering, building design engineering and environmental engineering.
