Thermal Inertia in Energy Efficient Building EnvelopesAuthor(s): Francesca Stazi\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier - Health Sciences Division, United States\nImprint: Butterworth-Heinemann Inc\nISBN-13: 9780128139707, 978-0128139707\nSynopsis\nThe design and construction of the appropriate building envelope is one of the most effective ways for improving a buildings thermal performance. Thermal Inertia in Energy Efficient Building Envelopes provides the optimal solutions, tools and methods for designing the energy efficient envelopes that will reduce energy consumption and achieve thermal comfort and low environmental impact. Thermal Inertia in Energy Efficient Building Envelopes provides experimental data, technical solutions and methods for quantifying energy consumption and comfort levels, also considering dynamic strategies such as thermal inertia and natural ventilation. Several type of envelopes and their optimal solutions are covered, including retrofit of existing enven
