Download or read book Envelope Design for Buildings written by William Allen and published by Architectual Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this essential book Bill Allen imparts his experience gained over many years into the investigation and remedy of the numerous misfortunes which have afflicted buildings here and elsewhere. He provides not only a very substantial new body of reliable back-up for good modern design but also useful material for conservation, and for surveyors who have to evaluate premises or who become specification writers. This book is divided into two parts, the first dealing with external and internal climates and the second with the ways in which the main categories of basements, walls and roof systems operation to mediate between them. The external climate is a character-forming part of the book because our climate, though technically temperate, is powerfully intemperate with buildings. The text of the book becomes markedly relevant to climates of the UK kind, but designers can also see what to look for as risk factors in other climates and how to evaluate them; the global nature of modern practice makes this important. When it comes to the envelope itself, the author works his way up from below ground to the roof. After a chapter on basement design, be begins with cavity structures; these now fall into several sub-categories and because they exploit the cavity in different ways, he looks at what goes on in a cavity and then handles the sub-categories around this. Cavities now have two main functions, the traditional one of being a rain barrier and the new one of being the repository for much increased insulation, and it is the latter that has greatly changed behaviour patterns because it results in sharp increases of the temperature range for the outer cladding, causing a lot of damage, and by the same token stabilises the inner leaf, opening the way for heating economies. There have been some disastrous fires in cavities, causing several deaths, and this risk is dealt with too. Curtain walls have a chapter to themselves and so do timber walls, and so many problems have developed in applied finishes and in doors and windows that these, too, have their own chapters. Finally roofs, flat and pitched, in two separate chapters. Flat roofs have a bad press and people are still suspicious about them, but we now know how to make them long-lasting and handsome, while pitched roofs have had a good press but sometimes don't deserve it. The corrosion of metal finishes especially lead, has be-devilled pitched roofs and given some terrible shocks; on one roof lead that was heavy enough to give 100 years protection failed in 10 months following official recommendations. The author is a well known consultant and is an authority in the field of 'oddities in buildings' Book provides a good thinking base for design decisions about new buildings Vital for architects, engineers, surveyors and clients

Download or read book Cost C16 Improving the Quality of Existing Urban Building Envelopes written by Luís Bragança and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of changes in the composition of the population, society changes continuously with respect to various factors including age-structure, family composition and the availability of energy. Changes lead to situations that are reflected in the commissioning of buildings, which is gradually shifted from new construction to the reuse and renovation of existing buildings. The adaptation of buildings often requires the modification of facades and the construction behind. The scope of this action withinthe COST Transport and Urban Development Domain is to improve techniques and methods for envelopes of buildings constructed during the last half of the 20th century in the COST countries. In other words it is directed on the building envelopes of the so-clled non-traditional buildings. This publication is based on a support by COST, an intergovernmental European framework for international cooperation between nationally funded research activities. COST creates scientific networks and enables scientists tocollaborate in a wide spectrum of activities in research and technology.
