Environment, technology, and sustainability / Hocine Bougdah and Stephen Sharples. - 303 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. - Technologies of architecture . - Technologies of architecture ; v.2. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Buildings and Climate Design -- Buildings and Low Energy Design -- Energy Systems and Services in Buildings -- Buildings and Lighting Design -- Acoustic Design and the Aural Environment -- Sustainable Building Design -- Case Studies. Part 1. Part 2. Part 3. Part 4. Part 5. Part 6. Part 7.
"This second volume in the Technologies of Architecture series - the only series of books tuned to the architectural technology syllabus - 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 - such as the trade-off of daylighting against thermal insulation, or the balance needed between heating and ventilation - 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."--Publisher's website.
