Résumé:
«The Materials volume chooses to address the substantive properties of materials and building components first and foremost. The authors do not therefore provide a comprehensive survey, but concentrate on essential subject matter for design and the way the building is later perceived. The focus is on the insightful use of different materials and the wide range of design possibilities they offer. First, their key properties are identified, so that readers can find their way around the physical and emotional world of material. The book systematically introduces the most important building material types and charaterizes their individual properties. Typical design approaches and principles in handing the material quality of buildings are also explained.» Bert Bielefeld, Foreword

Résumé:
Heat | Cool offers strategies for an energetically sensible and suitable approach to building conditioning as well as its design and constructional integration. In addition to building and facilities services, it places special emphasis on construction and design measures. How much the building itself can achieve in the context of the given climatic, topographical, and town planning framework conditions and to what extent additional installations are required for conditioning, which construction measures are appropriate for which types of tasks within a sustainable and integrated planning approach - all of these topics are discussed on the basis of project examples. The book highlights both the currently available heating, ventilation, and cooling systems as well as the supporting aspects of material properties and the building lifecycle, thus enabling the reader to make a balanced and well - informed selection.
