Description

Buildings serve a basic need for safe and healthy shelter, but modern design faces a new era of challenges. As fossil fuels become more expensive and the climate grows more extreme, the old method of using machines and cheap energy to create comfort is no longer sustainable. This book offers a fresh approach to designing spaces that work with people rather than against nature. Written by leaders in the field, Adaptive Thermal Comfort: Principles and Practice provides a clear and comprehensible guide to how humans stay comfortable. It moves away from the twentieth-century reliance on energy-intensive systems and introduces new ways to think about building design. This publication is the first in a trilogy intended to help architects and designers navigate the changing landscape of environmental comfort. By understanding the principles of adaptive comfort, professionals can design buildings that remain functional and pleasant even as energy resources change. This book is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the relationship between human needs and the built environment in a world of shifting climates.
