Building Physics : From physical principles to international standards Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This book offers a comprehensive presentation of the most important phenomena in building physics: heat transfer, moisture/humidity, sound/acoustics and illumination.

As the book is primarily aimed at engineers, it addresses technical issues with the necessary pragmatism and incorporates many practical examples and related international standards.

In order to ensure a complete understanding, it also explains the underlying physical principles and relates them to practical aspects in a simple and clear manner.

The relationships between the various phenomena of building physics are clarified through consistent cross-referencing of formulas and ideas.

The second edition features both new and revised sections on topics such as energy balance, solar gain, ventilation, road traffic and daylighting and takes into account new developments in international standards.

It newly features almost 200 illustrations and 21 videos worth of supplementary material.

The book is primarily aimed at students of civil engineering and architecture, as well as scientists and practitioners in these fields who wish to deepen or broaden their knowledge of topics within building physics.
