Excellent- More about Bio-Climatology for Built Environment
The indoor climate is determined by rational lighting, heating, cooling, and ventilating systems, which should be consistent with regional outdoor climate. This book discusses the relationship between the human body and its environmental space, passive and active systems for indoor climate conditioning, and the nature of light and heat. Examples are given to understand luminous and thermal characteristics.

Indoor climate is meticulously controlled through a combination of rational lighting, heating, cooling, and ventilation systems. The well-being of occupants is paramount, and it is essential that the indoor environment aligns with the regional outdoor climate in terms of the flow of radiation via four key pathways: radiation, convection, conduction, and evaporation. This comprehensive book takes a holistic approach, beginning with the intricate relationship between the human body and its immediate environmental space. It then provides a concise introduction to passive and active systems for indoor climate conditioning, emphasizing their role in creating comfortable and healthy indoor environments.
The nature of light and heat is explored in depth, focusing on building envelope systems such as walls and windows. This examination is approached from the perspectives of thermodynamics and human biology, shedding light on the luminous and thermal characteristics of our immediate surroundings. Specific examples are provided to enhance understanding, particularly for professionals engaged in environmental planning, designing, and engineering. These examples illustrate the principles of bio-climatic design, a holistic approach that considers the interplay between human physiology, environmental conditions, and architectural design to create sustainable and energy-efficient spaces.
By delving into the complexities of indoor climate control, this book aims to empower individuals and professionals to design and build environments that prioritize occupant comfort, health, and sustainability. It serves as a valuable resource for architects, engineers, builders, and anyone interested in creating environments that enhance human well-being and contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.
