Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
This special topics volume on construction materials comes from editor Palko, divided into five main sections. In the first section, four case studies on energy conservation and ecologically-oriented construction design are presented. Six papers follow discussing thermal performance of roofs, windows, and other architectural elements with attention to both design and materials. Seven papers address aerodynamics issues, including two on double skin facade. The largest section of eight contributions treats fire safety from the perspective of historical analysis, modeling, and regulatory environment. Finally, the impact of lighting, acoustics, and audiovisual insulation on human inhabitants of buildings is covered in three papers.
