Because of the very limited time architects are given from being awarded a project to concept design, this book offers clear and workable solutions for implementing solar energy, radiant heating and cooling floors, displacement ventilation, net zero, and more. It provides helpful tips and suggestions for architects aWiley book on sustainable design.Sustainable buildingsSustainable designBuildingTechnological innovationsElectronic books.Sustainable buildings.Sustainable design.BuildingTechnological innovations.720.47720/.47Syed Asif971218MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452040803321Advanced building technologies for sustainability2207715UNINA
