Summary

"Szokolay presents an accessible reference that provides a full understanding of the physical basis of architectural design while linking it directly to bioclimatic principles. The reader is shown not only how to design and control indoor environmental conditions such as heat, light and sound, but also how to create these required indoor conditions with little or no use of non-renewable energy." "This title introduces the relationship between technology and design decisions and provides a comprehensive understanding of true sustainable design essential knowledge for today's architects."--BOOK JACKET.
