DESCRIPTION:
"this is one of the most interesting and thought provoking books that I have read this year" 3dvisworld/features/book-reviews/8839-book-review-design-energy-simulation-for-architects-guide-to-3d-graphicsml
Taking advantage of these new tools requires understanding of what can be done with simulation, how to do it, and how to interpret the results. Additional topics include simulation basics, comfort, climate analysis, a discussion on how simulation is integrated into some firms, and an overview of some popular design simulation software.. This software-agnostic book, which is intended for you to use as a professional architect, shows you how to reduce the energy use of all buildings using simulation for shading, daylighting, airflow, and energy modeling. Leading architectural firms are now using in-house design simulation to help make more sustainable design decisions. Each chapter builds on the theory from previous chapters, includes a summary of concept-level hand calculations (if applicable), and gives comprehensive explanations with graphic examples. Chapters and case studies are written so that you learn general concepts without being tied to particular software. Wri
"Not in depth, limited use" according to Farhang Tahmasebi. It is a fact that there is a lack of useful books in the area of building performance simulation especially for architects. So, any new book can bring something to the practitioners and that's why I bought this book as soon as I came across it. However, in my opinion, it does not offer too much to the readers. To me, as a simulation lecturer, it is more like a catalog, with some. Michael M. Chamberlain said covers so many different subjects as compared to other most all other books. Great reference book! I really like how it covers so many different subjects as compared to other most all other books that are limited in scope.. Good book for Architects to Get Kayla I can't really rate this because I got this for the company I work for, but I heard that it is a really great book. I just can't say it from my point of view.
