Practical principles of building physics
The facade is the building's interface with itsenvironment. It is here that building physics parameters such as heat,humidity, sound and light interact with the building. All theseinfluences need to be controlled by the building envelope in order toensure the comfort of the user and the functional performance of thearchitecture.
This introduction explains the mostimportant phenomena and then relates them to design and buildingpractice - which materials react in which way to these factors? How dofacade systems deal with heat, humidity, sound and light? Thispractice-oriented book, which is the result of cooperation between anarchitect and a structural engineer, describes the most important facadematerials and constructions under the aspect of their building physicsperformance.
Numerous schematic drawings produced specifically for the publication Building physics for academic study and building practice Authors with many years of experience in facade designIncludes bibliographical references and index.
