Performance Based Building Design 1
From Below Grade Construction to Cavity Walls
Language: English
Release Date: October 7, 2012
Just like building physics, performance based building design was hardly an issue before the energy crises of the 1970s. With the need to upgrade energy efficiency, the interest in overall building performance grew. The term "performance" encompasses all building-related physical properties and qualities...
