The design, construction and use of buildings in tropical climates
pose specific challenges to built environment professionals. This
text seeks to capture some of the key issues of technology and
practice in the areas of building design, refurbishment,
construction and facilities management in tropical regions. Using a
consistent chapter structure throughout, and incorporating the
latest research findings, this book outlines: the functional
requirements of buildings in tropical climates; the challenges
associated with the sustainability of the built environment,
building form and whole life performance in the context of a
tropical setting; the impact of potentially hostile tropical
conditions upon building pathology and the durability of
components, structure and fabric; the tasks which face those
responsible for appraising the design, condition, maintenance and
conservation of built heritage in tropical regions; the facilities
management issues faced in tropical climates; and the
refurbishment, upgrade and renewal of the tropical built
environment. The book is ideal as a course text for students of
Architecture, Construction, Surveying and FM as well as providing a
sound reference for practitioners working in these regions.
