Описание:
This book is an introduction to construction contract administration and management, covering the delivery and execution stage of a construction project and the various issues which the contract administrator needs to proactively manage. It can therefore be used as a contract administrator's resource book covering what needs to be done (and why) to keep a construction project on track from a commercial and contractual perspective. It is particularly appropriate for students and new practitioners from varied construction professions and whilst it covers domestic (UK) projects, it will be particularly useful for those studying and working on international projects where terminology, procedures and legal systems may differ from the UK.
The content is split into four parts and is subdivided into easy-to-read chapters replicating the timeline of a project during the construction stage:
Part A covers initiating the construction stage, project delivery mechanisms, contract administration and health and safety management;
Part B covers managing the construction stage, contractor performance and relationship management;
Part C covers finalising the construction stage, project completion and close-out;
Part D covers claims and disputes.
Introduction to Construction Contract Management will be particularly useful for students enrolled on global construction programmes together with international distance learning students and non-cognate graduates starting out on an international career in construction contract administration and quantity surveying.
Описание: Thermal Comfort in Hot-Dry Climates identifies the main cooling systems and methods in traditional houses in central Iran, and examines how architectural elements such as central courtyards, distinct seasonal rooms, loggias, basements, and wind-catchers can contribute to the provision of thermal comfort in vernacular houses.

Описание: Almost half of the total energy produced in the developed world is inefficiently used to heat, cool, ventilate and control humidity in buildings, to meet the increasingly high thermal comfort levels demanded by occupants. The utilisation of advanced materials and passive technologies in buildings would substantially reduce the energy demand and improve the environmental impact and carbon footprint of building stock worldwide.Materials for energy efficiency and thermal comfort in buildings critically reviews the advanced building materials applicable for improving the built environment. Part one reviews both fundamental building physics and occupant comfort in buildings, from heat and mass transport, hygrothermal behaviour, and ventilation, on to thermal comfort and health and safety requirements.Part two details the development of advanced materials and sustainable technologies for application in buildings, beginning with a review of lifecycle assessment and environmental profiling of materials. The section moves on to review thermal insulation materials, materials for heat and moisture control, and heat energy storage and passive cooling technologies. Part two concludes with coverage of modern methods of construction, roofing design and technology, and benchmarking of fa?ades for optimised building thermal performance.Finally, Part three reviews the application of advanced materials, design and technologies in a range of existing and new building types, including domestic, commercial and high-performance buildings, and buildings in hot and tropical climates.This book is of particular use to, mechanical, electrical and HVAC engineers, architects and low-energy building practitioners worldwide, as well as to academics and researchers in the fields of building physics, civil and building engineering, and materials science.

Описание:
Introduction.- A review of methods for long-term evaluation of the general thermal comfort conditions in buildings.- A comparison of methods for long-term evaluation of general thermal comfort conditions in buildings.- A gap analysis of methods for long-term evaluation of general thermal comfort conditions.- A harmonized framework for the calculation of long-term discomfort indices.- A new index for long-term evaluation of the general thermal comfort conditions in building.- Conclusions.- References.- Glossary.
Описание: Based on the findings from monitoring campaigns (long-term measurements in combination with field studies on thermal comfort), simulation studies, and a comprehensive review on existing standards and guidelines, this book acts as a commonly accessible knowledge pool for passive and low-energy cooling techniques.
Описание: Tracing scientific and business factors that have resulted in air-conditioning being a major contributor to climate-change, the author advances the theory of personalized thermal comfort, which can potentially resolve the air-conditioning conundrum.
