Infos

Climate change mitigation and sustainable practices are now at the
top of political and technical agendas. Environmental system
modelling provides a way of appraising options and this book will
make a significant contribution to the uptake of such systems. It
provides knowledge of the principles involved in modelling systems,
builds confidence amongst designers and offers a broad perspective
of the potential of these new technologies.

The aim of the book is to provide an understanding of the
concepts and principles behind predictive modelling methods; review
progress in the development of the modelling software available;
and explore modelling in building design through international case
studies based on real design problems.

Autor

Chris Underwood is Reader in Building Services Engineering at the University of Northumbria and Francis Yik is Professor of Building Engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Both have extensive experience of the development and application of modeling to energy and fluid flow problems in buildings and have published widely on subjects ranging from 'smart' control of building systems to wind flow around high-rise buildings.
