Books by Keyword: Noise Protection

Description:

Development of the material-technological base in the field of architecture and  construction is progressing faster than in the previous periods. Based on the potential of new materials and technologies, it is possible to create advanced architecture and engineering building systems. Integration of advanced materials, technologies and construction systems creates a high-quality architectural construction with optimum performance in the presence as well as in the future. Nevertheless, improper application of high quality materials in the wrong environment may cause a defect.

Description: Indoor quality of buildings has a direct impact on its inhabitants. The design of a building needs should include a healthy environment and if possible include application of building materials which are free of harmful substances and allow a low energy design. The building industry nowadays should concentrate on low energy buildings and put emphasis on natural materials and renewable resources, so todays aim is to decrease the energy requirements and contribute to a healthier indoor environment in buildings and to sustainable development.
