This popular textbook covers how the built environment and the
management of energy relate to the quality of human
living-conditions and the environmental performance of buildings.
It is the key introductory text for understanding the principles
and theories of the environmental science behind construction, and
the only text on the market to provide the basic scientific
principles of such a broad range of topics. The text covers a range
of areas in the field, including climate change, energy management,
and sustainability in construction, with an important focus on
contemporary environmental topics such as carbon, lifetime
performance and rating schemes. The author is known for his
extremely clear, finely crafted text, and the book offers a wealth
of excellent worked examples. This text is designed to be useful,
at all levels, to students and practitioners of architecture,
construction studies, building services, surveying, and
environmental science. New to this Edition: - Expansion upon the
environmental narrative with coverage of contemporary topics such
as carbon, lifetime performance and rating schemes - Additional
figures, images and sub-topics in chapters - An updated section on
building services to give a broader understanding of modern
building services equipment options, specifications and performance
implications - Inclusion of a new section which offers commentary
on the future of environmental science in building
