Rebuilding the Houses of Parliament explores the history of the UK
Houses of Parliament in Westminster from an environmental design
perspective, and the role David Boswell Reid played in the
development of the original ventilation and climate control system
in parliament. This book retraces and critically examines the
evolution of the environmental principles underlying the design of
the Houses of Parliament, engaging with fundamental questions about
air quality, energy efficiency and thermal comfort. This yields
insights into the historic methods of environmental design that
were characterised by physical experimentation and post-occupancy
evaluation. Rebuilding the Houses of Parliament examines the
history of the buildings' operation, studying the practical reality
of its performance in use and offers the opportunity to reflect on
current challenges faced by architects and engineers adapting to
the realities of climate change. This book is an ideal read for
academics, politicians and practitioners with an interest in
architectural history and heritage, theory, engineering and
conservation.
