702p. Heating, Cooling, and Lighting is the industry standard text on environmental control systems with the emphasis on sustainable design. By detailing the many factors that contribute to the comfort in a building, this book helps architects minimize mechanical systems and energy usage over the life of the building by siting, building design, and landscaping to maximize natural heating, cooling, and lighting. This new fourth edition includes new information on integrated design strategies and designing for the Tropics. Resources include helpful case studies, checklists,diagrams, and a companion website featuring additional cases, an image bank, and instructor materials. Readers will: understand the concept of sustainability as applied to energy sources, review the basic principles of thermal comfort, and the critical role of climate, learn the fundamentals of solar responsive design, including active and passive solar systems as well as photo voltaic, and discover how siting, architectural design, and landscaping can reduce the requirements for mechanical and electrical systems.
