Download or read book Neighbourhoods in Transition written by Emmanuel Rey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-25 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book is focused on the intersection between urban brownfields and the sustainability transitions of metreopolitan areas, cities and neighbourhoods. It provides both a theoretical and practical approach to the topic, offering a thorough introduction to urban brownfields and regeneration projects as well as an operational monitoring tool. Neighbourhoods in Transition begins with an overview of historic urban development and strategic areas in the hearts of towns to be developed. It then defines several key issues related to the topic, including urban brownfields, regeneration projects, and sustainability issues related to neighbourhood development. The second part of this book is focused on support tools, explaining the challenges faced, the steps involved in a regeneration process, and offering an operational monitoring tool. It applies the unique tool to case studies in three selected neighbourhoods and the outcomes of one case study are also presented and discussed, highlighting its benefits. The audience for this book will be both professional and academic. It will support researchers as an up-to-date reference book on urban brownfield regeneration projects, and also the work of architects, urban designers, urban planners and engineers involved in sustainability transitions of the built environment.

Download or read book Sustainable Environmental Design in Architecture written by Stamatina Th. Rassia and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, there have been dramatic improvements in the understanding and research of environmental design. Numerous methods have been developed to enhance architectural design in order for it to be more energy efficient, sustainable and health enhancing. This book presents several theories and techniques that can be used to improve how buildings are engineered and designed in order to utilize more sustainable construction methods while promoting the health of the building's occupants. Contributions to the study of environmental design have come from a diversity of fields including applied mathematics, optimization, computer science, medical research, psychology, management science, architecture, and engineering. The techniques developed in these areas of research can be used to increase building performance, occupant satisfaction, productivity, and well being, and reducing the incidence of health conditions and chronic diseases related to the use of a designed space. This book provides architectural practitioners, civil engineers as well as other interdisciplinary researchers with the techniques needed to design, implement, and test for sustainability and health promotion in new or existing structures.
Download or read book Designing Spaces for Natural Ventilation written by Ulrike Passe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buildings can breathe naturally, without the use of mechanical systems, if you design the spaces properly. This accessible and thorough guide shows you how in more than 260 color diagrams and photographs illustrating case studies and CFD simulations. You can achieve truly natural ventilation, by considering the building's structure, envelope, energy use, and form, as well as giving the occupants thermal comfort and healthy indoor air. By using scientific and architectural visualization tools included here, you can develop ventilation strategies without an engineering background. Handy sections that summarize the science, explain rules of thumb, and detail the latest research in thermal and fluid dynamics will keep your designs sustainable, energy efficient, and up-to-date.

Download or read book Ventilation and Airflow in Buildings written by Claude-Alain Roulet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy efficiency in buildings requires, among other things, that ventilation be appropriately dimensioned: too much ventilation wastes energy, and insufficient ventilation leads to poor indoor air quality and low comfort. Studies have shown that ventilation systems seldom function according to their commissioned design. They have also shown that airflow measurement results are essential in improving a ventilation system. This key handbook explains why ventilation in buildings should be measured and describes how to measure it, giving applied examples for each measurement method. The book will help building physicists and ventilation engineers to properly commission ventilation systems and appropriately diagnose ventilation problems throughout the life of a building. Drawing on over 20 years of experience and the results of recent international research projects, this is the definitive guide to diagnosing airflow patterns within buildings.

Download or read book La pollution de l air int rieur et les diff rents contaminants dans les b timents de basse consommation written by Mariya Prepuva and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La qualité de l'air est devenue une préoccupation majeure et un enjeu de santé publique. La construction de logements confortables, sains et économes en énergie, a pour objectif de concilier les performances thermiques et énergétiques des bâtiments et la qualité de l'air intérieur. La pollution de l'air intérieur impacte de manière directe la santé des occupants compte tenu du temps passé à l'intérieur. L'humidité est un des facteurs clé dans le développement microbien. Les réglementations, française et européenne, deviennent de plus en plus exigeantes en ce qui concerne les performances énergétiques des bâtiments. Cependant, à ce jour, il n'existe pas d'indicateurs sanitaires permettant de définir la qualité microbiologique de l'air des espaces clos. Les polluants, qu'ils soient chimiques, biologiques ou physiques, sont nombreux et souvent inconnus du grand public. Dans la société moderne nous somme à la recherche de solutions à la fois économes en énergie et respectueuses de l'environnement. L'utilisation de nanoparticules, l'épuration par les plantes ou par photocatalyse pourraient s'avérer des alternatives très intéressantes dans le futur. Néanmoins, aérer les logements ou les lieux de travail et proscrire le tabagisme dans les espaces clos sont les gestes de base afin d'assurer un air sain pour les occupants
