CLIMATE DRIVEN DESIGN
Christoph Reinhart, in preparation
This book is currently under preparation. It will present a systematic study of the atmospheric conditions around and thermal conditions within buildings. The first part, Energy Use in Buildings, explains how to measure and evaluate environmental performance in terms of energy, carbon emissions and costs. Part two, Climate and Comfort, shows how to analyze a site’s microclimate and discusses our evolving understanding of thermal comfort. Part three, Thermal Loads links a building’s interior to the outside by introducing in turn internal gains, heat losses and gains, as well as ventilation effects.
