Materials For Energy Efficiency

A review of advanced materials and sustainable technologies for applicable for improving the building environment, this book examines fundamental building physics and occupant comfort, from heat and mass transport, hygrothermal behavior, and ventilation, on the thermal comfort and health and safety requirements.

Editors: Pacheco Torgal, F., Buratti, C., Kalaiselvam, S., Granqvist, C.-G., Ivanov, V. (Eds.)
Maximizes reader insights into the energy consumption of buildings and how increasing their energy efficiency through nano- and biotech materials can reduce emissions, improve competitiveness and create employment
Provides the necessary high-tech tools for practitioners to tackle the challenges of energy efficiency in buildings
Suitable for civil engineers, architects, materials scientists and researchers in the field of the sustainability of the built environment, amongst others

How should we go about making old houses energy efficient without devaluing future sustainability or the appeal and character of old homes by the use of inappropriate solutions?
