Inhaltsangabe

Architecture - Comfort and Energy addresses the architecture-energy combination and its relationship to human comfort and the environment. This important work examines thermal comfort, low energy architecture dealing with various criteria for comfort in different parts of the world. It also explores how previous generations lived in harsh climates and without abundant sources of energy, yet designed and built appropriate dwellings providing both comfort and harmony with the environment.
Architecture - Comfort and Energy makes essential reading for architectural students, building technologists, solar energy scientists (especially solar energy architects), energy experts and urban town planners. Its environmental approach provides a well-rounded perspective on architecture, the environment and the use of appropriate technologies to reduce energy consumption and maximise human comfort.
