5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent professional reference
This is one of the best books on the subject I have encountered. Exterior envelope design is a complex topic. The author does a good job of presenting both basic principles and practical examples. This is valuable reference to anyone trying to keep up with the science and practice of designing the building skin.

Good Book, but poorly edited.
I was very anxious to receive this book, however, there are multiple instances in the book where either the content does not continue to the following page, i.e., page 90 for example. The sentence is cut-off mid-way and does not continue on to the following page. There is also instances where text is written twice, also on page 90. Page 89 there is another instance...

- Easy to understand. Well explained. It served my purpose and I think it is a good start for people who want to start from basic and move up to understand enclosures.

Page 89 there is another instance where the paragraph ends mid-sentence and does not continue on. It's extremely frustrating since I spent $70 on this book.
DO NOT BUY.

Our architects and I agree this is a must have for people who design buiding envelopes. The author is clearly knowledgable about theory and practice and writes clearly for architects and designers.
