Building adaptation is an activity that continues to make a significant contribution to the workload of the construction industry. Given its importance to sustainable construction, the proportion of adaptation works in relation to new build is likely to remain substantial for the foreseeable future, especially in the developed parts of the world. Building Adaptation, Second Edition is intended as a primer on the physical changes that can affect older properties. It demonstrates the general principles, techniques, and processes needed when existing buildings must undergo alteration, conversion, extension, improvement, or refurbishment. The publication of the first edition of Building Adaptation reflected the upsurge in refurbishment work. The book quickly established itself as one of the core texts for building surveying students and others on undergraduate and postgraduate built environment courses. This new edition continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to all the key issues relating to the adaptation of buildings. It deals with any work to a building over and above maintenance to change its capacity, function or performance. * A core text for building surveying students and undergraduate and postgraduate built environment courses * Revised and updated throughout, in particular on the characteristics of buildings and their refurbishment potential. * Includes numerous illustrations and examples that focus on a wide variety of different building types 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aBuildings$xRemodeling for other use 650 0$aBuildings$xRepair and reconstruction 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 776 1 $cOriginal$z0750666676$z9780750666671$w(OCoLC)62714373 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750666671$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 907 $a.b13650440$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003218839707536 996 $aBuilding adaptation$91213435 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gne $h0$i0 LEADER 03401nam 2200469 450 001 9910827097703321 005 20230126215817.0 010 $a90-04-35682-7 024 7 $a10.1163/9789004356825 035 $a(CKB)4100000002068744 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5557358 035 $a 2017049973 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004356825 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000002068744 100 $a20171016d2017 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aClimate change and cultural transition in Europe /$fedited by Claus Leggewie, Franz Mauelshagen 210 1$aLeiden ;$aBoston :$cBrill,$d2017. 215 $a1 online resource (xx, 414 pages) 225 0 $aClimate and culture,$x2213-0519 ;$v4 311 $a90-04-35642-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tPreliminary Material -- $tIntroduction?Tracing and Replacing Europe?s Carbon Culture /$rClaus Leggewie and Franz Mauelshagen -- $t1 Complexion and Climate: An Attempt at an Outline of Weather Outlooks in Europe from the Beginnings until Today /$rJörn Sieglerschmidt -- $t2 Theological Perspectives in the Ethical Debate about Climate Change /$rMarkus Vogt -- $t3 Long- and Short-Term Central European Climate Development in the Context of Vulnerability, Food Security, and Emigration /$rRüdiger Glaser , Dirk Riemann , Steffen Vogt and Iso Himmelsbach -- $t4 History and Climate: The Crisis of the 1590s Reconsidered /$rGeoffrey Parker -- $t5 The ?Black Swan? of 1540: Aspects of a European Megadrought /$rChristian Pfister -- $t6 The Birth of Climate History /$rEmmanuel Le Roy Ladurie -- $t7 EU Climate Leadership?
