This review is from: Window Systems for High-Performance Buildings (Hardcover)
A solid resource for the architect, engineer or contractor looking to understand the impacts of fenestration systems on energy efficiency. Not only looking at heat loss, but also on lighting, building orientation and climate. The book is a good reference guide, and will provide the reader with good general information about what factors to consider in specification and design of fenestration systems.

This review is from: Window Systems for High-Performance Buildings (Hardcover)
I was totally surprised with the content covered in this book. I am a building envelope specialist architect. Tons of my collections was broadly found in various chapters of the book. Now I am inspired to learn energy and lighting simulations after I went through the book.
