A chapter on natural ventilation has been added in light of the shift in the last decade towards reducing energy consumption and greater environmental awareness. These two factors have concentrated the thoughts of designers and researchers on the potential of natural ventilation and user control of the local environment.

The text is aimed at practitioners in building services or architects, postgraduates studying hvac, building services engineering or built environment engineering, as well as undergraduates enrolled on building services courses. Every chapter has been thoroughly updated, including: human comfort and ventilation; ventilation requirements; air infiltration and measurement; design of room air distribution systems and computational fluid dynamics in room air flow.

Authored by Hazim Awbi, senior lecturer in building services engineering at the University of Reading and director of the Indoor Environmental and Energy research group
