Description

Explore the intersection of building science and environmental impact in this Springer thesis. This work investigates the scientific and business factors that have turned air-conditioning into a primary driver of climate change. By applying a unique design methodology rooted in an architectural background, the author addresses the complex 'business as usual' scenario that involves consumer behavior, sociological values, and building science. This study moves beyond traditional scientific analysis to look at how complex problems require more than just technical merit. Through various case studies, the text demonstrates how innovation must navigate the realities of commercialization and market adoption. It is an essential read for those studying the relationship between energy constraints, thermal comfort, and the practical challenges of implementing sustainable design solutions in a modern economy.

Key Features

Examines how air-conditioning contributes to climate change through both scientific and business lenses.

Uses a design methodology to address complex problems involving building science and consumer behavior.

Provides case studies that demonstrate why scientific merit alone does not guarantee commercial success.

Analyzes the impact of sociological values and market factors on energy-constrained thermal comfort.

Offers a multidisciplinary perspective combining architectural design with economic and scientific research.
