Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Advances in Building Energy Research (ABER) offers state-of-the-art information on the environmental science and performance of buildings, linking new technologies and methodologies with the latest research on systems, simulations and standards. As stringently reviewed as a journal but with the breadth of a book, this annual volume brings together invited contributions from the foremost international experts on energy efficiency and environmental quality of buildings. Spanning a broad range of technical subjects, this is a 'must have' reference on global developments in the field, suitable for architects and building engineers, environmental engineers, industry professionals, students, teachers and researchers in building science, technical libraries and laboratories.Volume 3 covers:- Energy, Carbon and Cost Performance of Building Stocks- Solar Chimneys in Buildings- Optimization and Economics of Solar Cooling Systems- Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms in Energy Applications in Buildings- Decision Support Methodologies on the Energy Efficiency and Energy Management in Buildings- Progress in Numerical Modelling for Urban Thermal Environment Studies- Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE): An Inevitable Step Toward Sustainability- Guidelines to Avoid Mould Growth in Buildings- Thermal Impact of Strategic Landscaping in Cities- Urban Heat Island and its Impact on Building Energy Consumption- Green Roofs in Buildings: Thermal and Environmental Behaviour- Building Earth-Contact Heat Transfer

Includes bibliographical references and index.
