Whole Life CostingA new Approach

Peter Caplehorn, scott Brownrigg, UK

whole life costing has been a subject waiting to come of age for many years. what was previously of mainly academic interest is now becoming a key business tool in the procurement and construction of significant projects. this book sets out the practical issues involved in the selection of materials, their performance, and the issues that need to be taken into account. the emphasis, unlike in other publications, is not to formularize or to package the issues, but to leave the reader with a clear understanding and a sensible practical way of arriving at conclusions in the future.

Designing Zero Carbon Buildings Using Dynamic Simulation Methods Ljubomir Jankovic, Birmingham city University, UK

the demand for low or zero carbon design of buildings is influenced both by legislation and by the increased awareness of building owners and users, as we come to terms with the long term consequences of climate change. thus there is a need for professional guidance on the methods for low carbon design of buildings. dynamic modelling and simulation of buildings is the only means of testing designs before construction, but the existing materials published in this area are limited to basic user manuals of corresponding software packages. this book fills the gap as it develops a structured design method

underpinned by dynamic simulation.

Sustainable Buildings and InfrastructurePaths to the future

Annie Pearce, Virginia tech, UsA, Yong Han Ahn, east carolina University, UsA and HanmiGlobal Co, Ltd

construction is one of the biggest industries in the world, providing necessary facilities for human prosperity ranging from the homes in which we live to the highways we drive, the power plants that provide energy for our daily activities, and the very infrastructure on which human society is built. the construction sector, including the building sector, has among the largest potential of any industry to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. this ambitious and comprehensive textbook covers the concept of embedding

sustainability across all construction activities. it is aimed at students taking courses in construction management and the built environment. written in a lively and engaging style the book sets out the practical requirements of making the transition to a sustainable construction industry by 2020. case studies are included throughout making the book both a core reference and a practical guide.

Sustainable Retrofitting of Commercial Buildingswarm climates

edited by Richard Hyde, University of sydney, Australia, Nathan Groenhout, AecoM, Australia, Francis Barram, ensight, Australia and Ken Yeang, Architect and Planner, Malaysia

despite recent improvements in energy efficiency being made in new build, it is important that the existing commercial building sector also take action to meet emission reduction targets. the objectives and challenges of such action will reduce the risk of the sector becoming obsolescent. this book presents a theory-based, practice-support methodology to deal with environmental retrofitting opportunities for existing commercial buildings in warm climates using

bioclimatic design as the basis.

Design for Climate Change William Gethering

with Katie Puckett

Aimed at architects, contractors, engineers and specialists in the field, this book uses real-world evidence from a technology strategy Board-funded research project to develop a set of tools for architects and other building designers to meet a growing need to anticipate future climate change. Built on in his seminal future climate change report for the tsB, Bill Gething (with Katie Puckett) identifies three broad categories of climate change impacts on building design – comfort and

energy performance, construction, and managing water.

101 Rules of Thumb for Low Energy Architecture Huw Heywood

in an area where ever-changing technology and complex legislation and can cloud the designer’s thought-processes, this book encourages the designer to think clearly and intuitively about the fundamentals of low energy buildings. with reliable, simple rules of thumb that will provide new ideas and refresh the designer’s palette, each page focuses on a single piece of advice or guidance along with a clear hand-drawn illustration, while there are also plenty of tips and more detailed information for those who wish to dig deeper. the emphasis is on passive low-energy principles, and the rules of thumb cover all the design fundamentals from site and location to orientation and form, peppered

with some which will help the designer to think ‘outside the box’ about the design process itself.

Design for Biodiversity: A Technical Guide for New and Existing Buildings Kelly Gunnell, Carol Williams and Brian Murphy

the built environment has the potential to have a major impact on biodiversity, not least with the increasingly demanding requirements to design more energy efficient and airtight buildings, leaving less space for species to inhabit. the construction industry has an important role to play in ensuring that buildings are designed and refurbished in a way in which biodiversity can be enhanced. through written guidance and architectural drawings, this book advises on how to incorporate provision for biodiversity within developments. with sections on different building-reliant species, general principles for design, ready-made

products that be incorporated into designs, and legislation, policy and regulations, this book is an invaluable resource for all architects, ecologists and anyone involved in designing or briefing for biodiversity in buildings.

Adaptive Thermal Comfort: Principles and Practice Fergus Nicol, london Metropolitan University, UK,

Michael Humphreys, oxford Brookes University, UK and Susan Roaf, Heriot-watt University, UK

in a world where fossil fuels are becoming scarcer and more expensive, and the climate more extreme, the challenge of designing comfortable buildings requires a new approach. designers must produce robust, passive structures that provide their occupants with opportunities to change their environments to suit their needs. Ventilation using natural energy should be preferred and mechanical conditioning only used when the climate demands it. this timely book

explains how we stay comfortable by using our bodies, our minds and our buildings, and their systems, to adapt to indoor and outdoor conditions.

Guide To Natural Ventilation in High Rise Office Buildings edited by Antony Wood, council on tall Buildings and

Urban Habitat, illinois institute of technology, chicago, UsA and Ruba Salib

this book is based on detailed research by the Council for Tall Buildings in the Urban Habitat (ctBUH) on existing natural ventilation systems in skyscrapers throughout the world. with around 60% of a tall office building’s energy going on heating and air-conditioning the potential for major savings is obvious, but to maximize those benefits in terms of reducing both capital and running costs requires careful planning and preparation. the handbook sets out

recommendations for every phase of planning, construction and operation of a building, including local climatic factors that need to be taken into account, how to plan for seasonal variations in weather, and the risks in adopting different implementation strategies.
