DESCRIPTION:
Not in depth, limited use Farhang Tahmasebi It is a fact that there is a lack of useful books in the area of building performance simulation especially for architects. So, any new book can bring something to the practitioners and that's why I bought this book as soon as I came across it. Howev. Michael M. Chamberlain said covers so many different subjects as compared to other most all other books. Great reference book! I really like how it covers so many different subjects as compared to other most all other books that are limited in scope.. "Good book for Architects to Get" according to Kayla. I can't really rate this because I got this for the company I work for, but I heard that it is a really great book. I just can't say it from my point of view.
Chapters and case studies are written so that you learn general concepts without being tied to particular software. Taking advantage of these new tools requires understanding of what can be done with simulation, how to do it, and how to interpret the results. Each chapter builds on the theory from previous chapters, includes a summary of concept-level hand calculations (if applicable), and gives comprehensive explanations with graphic examples. Additional topics include simulation basics, comfort, climate analysis, a discussion on how simulation is integrated into some firms, and an overview of some popular design simulation software.. Leading architectural firms are now using in-house design simulation to help make more sustainable design decisions. This software-agnostic book, which is intended for you to use as a professional architect, shows you how to reduce the energy use of all buildings using simulation for shading, daylighting, airflow, and energy modeling. Written by a practicing architect who specializes in design simulation, the book includes 30 case studies of net-zero buildings, as well as of projects with less lofty goals, to demonstrate how energy simulation has helped designers make early decisions.Within each
