En savoir plus sur le livre
The 4th edition of this book, published in September 2023, addresses the evolution of building physics, a field that gained prominence due to poor construction quality, energy crises, and concerns about "sick buildings." It encompasses heat and mass transfer, acoustics, lighting, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency, with some regions also including fire safety. By integrating physical knowledge with insights from other disciplines, building physics clarifies the phenomena affecting building components and overall performance, often referred to as "urban physics." This discipline is now essential for performance-based building design. The book focuses on the description, analysis, and modeling of heat, air, and moisture transport in building assemblies and entire structures, emphasizing engineering applications and providing practical examples. Understanding these physical transport processes is crucial, as they significantly impact the building envelope's performance and the structure's serviceability. The third edition features revisions and expansions compared to the second edition, reflecting the ongoing advancements in the field.
