Building Thermal Performance and Sustainability Issues
The book ‘Building Thermal Performance and Sustainability’ as part of ‘Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering’ highlights the various aspects of architectural research in the domain of Building Thermal Performance leading to a sustainable built environment. The book has chapters based on the sections pertaining to (i) heat stress in buildings, (ii) methods of assessing thermal performance in buildings, and (iii) smart materials and nanotechnology in architecture. The chapters under each of the sections present various aspects of architectural research based on real-time data obtained through field studies. The first section deals with the issues that the rural houses face due to heat wave and the impact on heat stress due to the envelope building materials. The second section focuses on the various ways to assess the performance of the buildings which can enable conscious design decisions at early stages. The third section addresses the way in which correctives can be carried out using nanotechnology with the case study. The research papers are a result of systematic research conducted after the identification of a research gap through the latest review of the literature and present new knowledge which can help in making performance-based design decisions, especially building in a hot-humid climate. The book also presents chapters that are ‘methodology’ based. The methodology can be applied in other contexts to achieve desired results. This book is a valuable reference for postgraduate and doctoral students of architecture and professionals interested in the built environment and allied fields to understand the strategies, tact, and methods of a scientific approach to assess building performance.
