Buildings and technology form an integrated system whose architecture is having an ever greater influence: heat loss is minimal today, while internal energy flows are becoming increasingly important. Holistically designed buildings regulate heating and cooling almost independently; form, building mass, and use are decisive factors. Optimally utilized synergies allow for a pleasant indoor climate and efficient ventilation with minimal energy consumption and simple technology. This reference book teaches the architectural basics and the principles of heating, cooling, and ventilation. Clear examples and technical drawings make complex concepts easy to understand. A practical reference work for architects and building technicians—for new construction and renovation.
