Solar Passive Building: Science And Design by M.S. Sodha
Requirements: pdf reader; 84,7 mb
Overview: This book covers the fundamentals of the science and architecture in solar passive building, showing how optimal mass, insulation, orientation, shape, built form and layout play their role in the design process. Contents: Thermal comfort. Climate, solar radiation, building orientation and shading devices. Building clusters and solar exposures. Passive concepts and components. Heat transmission in buildings and building materials. Mathematical models for passive solar houses. Performance of passive heating and cooling concepts. Evaporative cooling and earth cooling systems. Rules of thumb: design patterns. Typical designs of solar passive buildings. Appendices: Predicted mean vote, sun path diagrams, tables of thermophysical properties and heat transfer coefficients, solar heating and cooling simulation, SHAC manual design methods, HVAC computer programs, system identification, conversion factors, indices.
