Hall1st editionBoca Raton, Fla. CRC Press ;Oxford Woodhead Pub. Ltd.20101 online resource (761 p.)Woodhead Publishing series in energy ;no. 14Description based upon print version of record.1-84569-526-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.pt. 1. Fundamental issues and building physics : understanding energy efficiency and thermal comfort in the built environment -- pt. 2. Materials and sustainable technologies : improving energy efficiency and thermal comfort in the built environment -- pt. 3. Application of advanced building materials and design : improving energy efficiency and thermal comfort in the built environment.Almost half of the total energy produced in the developed world is inefficiently used to heat, cool, ventilate and control humidity in buildings, to meet the increasingly high thermal comfort levels demanded by occupants. The utilisation of advanced materials and passive technologies in buildings would substantially reduce the energy demand and improve the environmental impact and carbon footprint of building stock worldwide.Materials for energy efficiency and thermal comfort in buildings critically reviews the advanced building materials applicable for improving the built environment.Woodhead Publishing in energy ;no. 14.Sustainable buildingsHeatingEnergy consumptionElectronic books.Sustainable buildings.Heating.Energy consumption.693.832Hall Matthew R991762MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455583103321Materials for energy efficiency and thermal comfort in buildings2269733UNINA
