Description
The facade plays a critical role in the conception of energy- and climate-optimised buildings. It is the building's skin, not only functioning as an interface between interior and exterior space but providing thermal and sound insulation and ventilation, and controlling and guiding the entrance of daylight into the building. Hence it can be seen that a building's facade deserves the most serious consideration.
Climate Skin offers concrete planning advice for architects and engineers who wish to exploit the entire potential of facades, looking at them not simply in architectural terma but treating the building envelope as an essential component within a complete climate-control and technology solution. It provides a solid foundation of knowledge that equips the reader to make competent technical and economic evaluations of building envelopes. For everyone concerned with facades, Climate Skin is a comprehensive planning handbook and reference work that covers all of the relevant technical and physical aspects of the design and detailed planning of energy-efficient facades.
