Designing Spaces for Natural Ventilation
Buildings can breathe naturally, without the use of mechanical systems, if you design the spaces properly. This accessible and thorough guide shows you how in more than 260 color diagrams and photographs illustrating case studies and CFD simulations. You can achieve truly natural ventilation, by considering the building's structure, envelope, energy use, and form, as well as giving the occupants thermal comfort and healthy indoor air. By using scientific and architectural visualization tools included here, you can develop ventilation strategies without an engineering background. Handy sections that summarize the science, explain rules of thumb, and detail the latest research in thermal and fluid dynamics will keep your designs sustainable, energy efficient, and up-to-date.

'Bomen zijn waardevolle bijkomstigheden'
Stedelijk groen in de moderne stad Stedelijke groenruimtes spelen vandaag een cruciale rol in debatten over de leefbaarheid van steden. Sinds de tweede helft van de negentiende eeuw al duikt de vraag naar stedelijk groen op als een beleidsthema. ‘Bomen zijn waardevolle bijkomstigheden’ gaat op zoek naar de veranderende betekenis van stedelijk groen in de moderne stad. Op basis van de casus Antwerpen onderzoekt Tritsmans in welke mate de stedelijke groenruimte onderhevig is aan veranderingen in typologie, morfologie en gebruik, maar ook hoe maatschappelijke debatten en de beleving van stedelijk groen elkaar beïnvloeden. De auteur zoomt in op de geplande stedelijke groenruimte vanuit het ...
