Description
Buildings influence people. They account for one third of energy consumption across the globe and represent an annual capital expenditure of 7%-10% of GNP in industrialized countries. Their lifetime operation costs can exceed capital investment. Building Engineering aims to make buildings more efficient, safe and economical. One branch of this discipline, Building Physics/Science, has gained prominence, with a heightened awareness of such phenomena as sick buildings, the energy crisis and sustainability, and considering the performance of buildings in terms of climatic loads and indoor conditions. The book reflects the advanced level and high quality of research which Building Engineering, and Building Physics/Science in particular, have reached at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It will be a valuable resource to: engineers, architects, building scientists, consultants on the building envelope, researchers and graduate students.
The Journal of Building Physics, formerly known as the Journal of Thermal Envelope and Building Science, focuses on the thermal performance of building materials, particularly thermal insulation systems. The journal provides a permanent record of achievements in the science, technology and economics of building envelope. Implicit is the recognition and appropriate publication of the accomplishments of all participating interests.
