Solar thermal technologies for buildings – the state of the art presents the most current theory and practice.

The book concentrates on how solar thermal techniques can be used in building design to achieve optimum energy efficiency and thermal comfort. Ten chapters cover issues such as passive solar heating, natural ventilation, passive cooling, integration of solar energy in the urban environment. The editor, Professor Mat Santamouris is a recognised expert in building physics. He has co-ordinated a number of international r&d programmes, and acted as an external evaluator for the European Community. The target audience is anyone involved in implementing solar thermal technologies, including engineers, architects, researchers and academics.
