CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

not a good reference book -
This book is full of information with diagrams and drawings scattered throughout the text. There are graphs and calculations that are presented in each chapter for the various loads and gradients that can be calculated. But, Good Luck finding anything! The book is extremely vague and should merely be used as a reading book if you're bored and really enjoy learning about building envelopes. BUt if you need to look up an equation or theory, don't turn to the index, it won't be listed there along with the numerous other omissions that aren't listed which made this book incredible hard to use and reference.

A Great Help... -
This book has been a great help in my practice. Good, practical details on envelope systems, but would like to see more wall details (especially on EIFS and stucco). Conceptual approach helps me design buildings with confidence that they won't leak.
