Package: Building Physics and Applied Building Physics

More about the book

The book explores the evolution of building physics, particularly in response to issues like the energy crisis of the 1970s and the emergence of the Sick Building Syndrome. It addresses the growing demand for comfort, air quality, and noise protection, while highlighting the shift towards energy efficiency, decarbonization, and sustainability. By integrating thermodynamics, acoustics, lighting, and air quality, it enhances understanding of physical behaviors in construction, emphasizing the discipline's crucial role in developing efficient and functional buildings in both new and existing structures.
