This second volume in the Technologies of Architecture series a
" the only series of books tuned to the architectural technology
syllabus a " 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 a " such as the trade-off of daylighting against thermal
insulation, or the balance needed between heating and ventilation a
" 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.
