Heating, Cooling, Lighting – Design Methods for Achitects TR: Design Methods for Architects - Softcover
Synopsis
Designed to fill the need of architects and students for a text on the heating, cooling and lighting of buildings which does not assume a great deal of technical knowledge, this text is written with the designer's decision-making needs in mind. Aimed both at the architect, interior designer and student market, the book covers such topics as thermal comfort, mechanical heating and cooling systems, climate, solar heating and cooling, shading, site planning, daylight and artificial lighting and conservation, using generous graphs, photographs and sketches. The author makes liberal use of case studies, and includes a discussion on techniques of energy-conscious design. Appendices provide sun path diagrams and solar site evaluation tools, and a listing of appropriate microcomputer software.

Review
"The Second Edition of Heating, Cooling, Lighting is one of the most useful and important books on building design in years...Nowhere else have we seen such clear explanations of enery flow mechanisms that occur in buildings. Take our word for it, this book is a must have for any design firm." ––Environmental Building News, May 2001
From the Back Cover
FULLY UPDATED - A QUALITATIVE, HIGHLY VISUAL APPROACH TO HEATING, COOLING, AND LIGHTING TECHNIQUES
Heating, Cooling, Lighting, Second Edition reflects the decision making process of architects involved in developing schematic designs. Based on a three-tier approach - load avoidance, optimum use of natural energies, and the selection of appropriate mechanical equipment - this book enables designers to provide all of a building's thermal and lighting needs while minimizing energy consumption and maximizing sustainability.
This practical guide features new chapters on the important emerging areas of sustainable "green" design and photovoltaics. It provides the detailed information an architect needs to make crucial decisions concerning thermal comfort, mechanical heating and cooling systems, climate, passive heating and cooling, shading, site planning, daylight and artificial lightning, and conservation. This fully updated new edition provides:
* Sun path diagrams and instructions for making a sun machine (helidon) and solar site evaluation tools
* Rules of thumb and simple sizing tables
* Numerous case studies and examples
* "Key Ideas" lists for quick reference and review
* More than 1000 helpful photographs and line drawings
Well organized and clearly written, Heating, Cooling, Lighting, Second Edition is an essential resource for today's architects and architectural students.
