Modelling Methods for Energy in Buildings

Modelling Methods for Energy in Buildings

Climate change mitigation and sustainable practices are now at the top of political and technical agendas. Environmental system modelling provides a way of appraising options and this book will make a significant contribution to the uptake of such systems. The aim of the book is to provide an understanding of the concepts and principles behind predictive modelling methods; review progress in the development of the modelling software available; and explore modelling in building design through international case studies based on real design problems. This new book by Chris Underwood & Francis Yik is published by Blackwell (see www.blackwellpublishing.com/0632059362)and is priced at £69.50.
