Windows in Buildings: Thermal, Acoustic, Visual, and Solar Performance

Glass and glazing systems lie at the heart of window design and this book provides an understanding of their interaction and relation to built structures which is crucial to the modern designer.

The information is presented in easy-to-use charts, tables and software for the design and selection of glass, glazing systems and other window materials, to enable their suitable and appropriate incorporation into modern buildings.

The accompanying CD ROM demonstrates the computation examples in the book. It contains over 50 Excel spreadsheets showing window design data and routines for analysing a building’s thermal, visual and aural environments. This information is the result of many years of research undertaken by the authors.
