Excellent- More about Performance-Based Building Design: From Below Grade to Floors, Walls, Roofs, Windows and Finishes
This book discusses the impact of performance-based building design on building design and construction, covering topics such as building site preparation, structural systems, floors, walls, roofs, glazing, and more. It also discusses structural integrity, durability, fire safety, acoustics, maintenance, sustainability, and buildability, and incorporates experiences from 38 years of teaching, research, and practice.

This third book in a series of three on building physics and its application examines the impact of a performance-based approach to building design and construction. It begins by revisiting the expectations of buildings, followed by exploring the various materials required to ensure proper heat, air, and moisture response. The book then delves into preparing the building site, including excavations, foundations, below-grade parts and spaces, structural systems, floors, outer walls, roof assemblies, interior walls, glazing, windows, outer doors, glass façades, balconies, shafts, chimneys, stairs, timber-frame construction, wall, floor, and ceiling finishes. Throughout, the focus extends beyond heat, air, and moisture-related metrics to include structural integrity, durability, fire safety, acoustics, maintenance, sustainability, and buildability. The book concludes by addressing the risks and deficiencies that may arise from performance deficiencies.
For this new edition, all chapters have undergone a critical review, been updated, and enriched with additional figures when necessary, incorporating the insights gained from 38 years of teaching architectural and building engineering students, 36 years of research, and 53 years of practice in resolving performance failure-related damage cases.
