About the Book

The combined challenges of health, comfort, climate change and energy security cross the boundaries of traditional building disciplines. This authoritative collection, focusing mostly on energy and ventilation, provides the current and next generation of building engineering professionals with what they need to work closely with many disciplines to meet these challenges. A Handbook of Sustainable Building Engineering covers: how to design, engineer and monitor a building in a manner that minimises the emissions of greenhouse gases; how to adapt the environment, fabric and services of existing and new buildings to climate change; how to improve the environment in and around buildings to provide better health, comfort, security and productivity; and provides crucial expertise on monitoring the performance of buildings once they are occupied. The authors explain the principles behind built environment engineering, and offer practical guidance through international case studies.

Review :
'What a whopper! ... A great treat for all involved in the field.' Alexandros N. Tombazis, architect specializing in low energy and bioclimatic design 'This book offers great practical insights into the latest thinking in delivering sustainable buildings, backed up with superb research and entertaining evidence. A great myth-buster.' Dr Judit Kimpian, Head of Advanced Modelling Group and Sustainability, AEDAS and the major driving force behind the CarbonBuzz Platform 'What a whopper! Over 400 pages packed with useful and comprehensive information. One wonders if one could ever wish for more. A great treat for all involved in the field.' Alexandros N. Tombazis, architect specializing in low energy and bioclimatic design 'This work will be very useful to all who are involved in the ongoing effort to move toward zero carbon and energy-efficient buildings that effectively serve societal needs.' E. Erickson, Choice, August 2009. 'In the context of new awareness, the book with knowledge of many experts is valuable' Built Environment
