Package: Building Physics and Applied Building Physics

More about the book

The book delves into the evolution of building physics, a discipline that has gained prominence due to experiences with building damage, the energy crisis of the 1970s, and concerns like the Sick Building Syndrome. It encompasses various aspects such as thermodynamics, acoustics, air quality, and energy efficiency, merging physical principles with insights from other fields. This integration enhances understanding of building components and their environments, positioning building physics as a key player in developing functional and energy-efficient structures in both new and existing buildings.
