Heating, Cooling, Lighting - Design methods
reflects the decision making approach of architects
*Qualitative graphic approach to understanding the techniques of heating,
cooling, and lighting reflects the decision-making approach of architects
and students.
* Useful appendices provide sun path diagrams and solar site evaluation
tools. Appendices new to this edition include practical checklists
of strategies and issues in evaluating energy use in the building
design stage, and an annotated list of helpful sustainability videos
to use in class, professional meetings, or with clients.
* A new chapter on photovoltaics discusses their use as an ideal energy
source, offers design options, and case studies as well as their future
role in building design.
* A new chapter on sustainable "green" design includes case studies
and examples of water conservation measures, effects from energy production
and consumption, and an analysis of indoor air quality.
* Mathematical formulas are excerpted from the text and appear in
side boxes, so they don't cloud the text with overly-technical information.
