This technical guides deals with environmental issues facing every architect at the concept stage of designing a building. Used during the initial design stage, the unique manual design tool, LT Method (2.1), helps the architect determine the energy efficiency of alternative design schemes. It predicts the energy use for lighting, heating, cooling and ventilating. Explaining the principles behind the LT Method, this book will give designers the confidence to develop their own response to energy efficient design. In addition, the book deals with other environmental issues such as noise, thermal comfort and natural ventilation design. A variety of case studies provide a critique of real buildings and highlight good practice.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

A-must-to-read -
Architects and environmental engineers should read this book. It gives new research-based information, that is quantitative rather than descriptive. Because architectural research in energy and environment has long suffered from the lack of definitive information, this book is a break through. The work of those two distinguished professors, who teach in Cambridge and affiliated with BRE and CAR, is really unique. The included LT method for British climate is useful only for British applications. Enjoy yourself reading this book.
