The authors discuss available technologies for establishing a suitable microclimate within buildings, for managing the transmission of sound and for minimizing the exploitation of scarce energy and of other resources.Using the perspective of a designer who needs a sound scientific basis for arriving at the optimum outcome, this valuably informative volume is ideal for architectural technology students, as well as first and second year architecture students.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51931351220512,"sku":"NEW0415403790","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/environment-technology-and-sustainability-technologies-of-architecture-0415403790","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
