{"product_id":"building-heat-transfer-isbn-9780470847312","title":"Building Heat Transfer","description":"A third or more of the energy consumption of industrialized countries is expended on creating acceptable thermal and lighting conditions in buildings. As a result, building heat transfer is keenly important to the design of buildings, and the resulting analytical theory forms the basis of most design procedures. Analytical Theory of Building Heat Transfer is the first comprehensive reference of its kind, a one-volume compilation of current findings on heat transfer relating to the thermal behavior of buildings, forming a logical basis for current design procedures.

Internal thermal conditions are determined by the climate, the heating and cooling plant, and people's behaviour, together with the characteristics of the building fabric itself. In this book the author discusses physical findings and computational techniques relating to the fabric, bringing together for the first time in one volume issues fundamental to heat transfer in buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn overview of the use of thermal circuit theory.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA wealth of information on convective and radiative exchange inside and outside the building envelope.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMerging the processes of heat transfer by convection and radiation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThermal representation of a wall by discrete storage and resistive elements.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRepresentation of a wall as a chain of distributed storage\/resistance elements when driven by varying temperatures and its application to estimate the thermal response of a room.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecent work on moisture movement in walls, with condensation and evaporation in unsteady conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is essential to all civil, building and software engineers involved with designing heating and cooling systems in buildings.
