Routledge publishes second edition of 'A Handbook of Sustainable Building Design and Engineering'

Since its first publication in 2009, the ‘A Handbook of Sustainable Building Design and Engineering: An Integrated Approach to Energy, Health and Operational Performance ’ edited by Professor Dejan Mumovic (UCL IEDE) and Mat Santamouris (University New South Wales Australia) has become an essential toolkit for professionals and students. The book looks at how to design, engineer and monitor energy efficient buildings, how to adapt buildings to a climate change and how to make buildings healthy, comfortable and secure. The second edition includes new material on environmental master-planning, renewable technologies, retrofitting, passive house design, thermal comfort and indoor air quality.

This edition features chapters by a range of interdisciplinary international experts including the UCL Energy Institute and the UCL Institute for Environmental Design & Engineering.
