∗ Qualitative graphic approach to understanding the techniques of heating, cooling, and lighting reflects the decision–making approach of architects and students.
∗ Useful appendices provide sun path diagrams and solar site evaluation tools. Appendices new to this edition include practical checklists of strategies and issues in evaluating energy use in the building design stage, and an annotated list of helpful sustainability videos to use in class, professional meetings, or with clients.
∗ A new chapter on photovoltaics discusses their use as an ideal energy source, offers design options, and case studies as well as their future role in building design.
∗ A new chapter on sustainable "green" design includes case studies and examples of water conservation measures, effects from energy production and consumption, and an analysis of indoor air quality.
∗ Mathematical formulas are excerpted from the text and appear in side boxes, so they don′t cloud the text with overly–technical information.

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.
