Fundamentals of Building Performance Simulation, Second Edition pares the theory and practice of a multi-disciplinary field to the essentials for classroom learning and real-world applications.
In addition to the application of fundamental principles that lead to a structured method for zero carbon design of buildings, this considerably expanded second edition includes new advanced topics on multi-objective optimisation; reverse modelling; reduction of the simulation performance gap; predictive control; nature-inspired emergent simulation leading to sketches that become 'alive'; and an alternative economics for achieving the sustainability paradigm.
This book offers an alternative vision for the future of architecture, a timely and invaluable contribution to the debate concerning emergent surfaces and the next generation of building membranes in this era of extreme computational control.
Integrating Building Performance with Design shows you the importance of designing for building performance early in your architectural design process.
Making the complexities of green architecture accessible to the design studio, The Green Studio Handbook remains a must-read for current and future architects.
