Bad experiences with construction quality, the energy crises of
1973 and 1979, complaints about "sick buildings", thermal,
acoustical, visual and olfactory discomfort, the need for good air
quality, the move towards more sustainability - all these have
accelerated the development of a field that, for a long time, was
hardly more than an academic exercise: building physics (in English
speaking countries sometimes referred to as building science). The
discipline embraces domains such as heat and mass transfer,
building acoustics, lighting, indoor environmental quality and
energy efficiency. In some countries, fire safety is also included.
Through the application of physical knowledge and its combination
with information coming from other disciplines, the field helps to
understand the physical phenomena governing building parts,
building envelope, whole buildings and built environment
performance, although for the last the wording "urban physics" is
used. Today, building physics has become a key player on the road
to a performance based building design. The book deals with the
description, analysis and modeling of heat, air and moisture
transport in building assemblies and whole buildings with main
emphasis on the building engineering applications, including
examples. The physical transport processes determine the
performance of the building envelope and may influence the
serviceability of the structure and the whole building. Compared to
the second edition, in this third edition the text has partially
been revised and extended.
