BUILDING PHYSICS OF THE ENVELOPE

The facade is the building's interface with its environment. It is here that building physics parameters such as heat, humidity, sou nd and light interact with the building. All these influences need to be controlled by the building envelope in order to ensure the comfort of the user and the functional performance of the architecture. This introduction explains the most important phenomena and then relates them to design and building practice - which materials react in which way to these factors? How do facade systems deal with heat, ...[Llegir més]
