Features: Based on the 1991 edition of Architectural Physics, this book has undergone significant revisions, adjustments, and supplements. It retains the fundamental features of the previous edition while optimizing the format and adding new content in line with updated codes, standards, and the development of the discipline, making it more scientific, advanced, and practical. After providing an overview and analysis of the physical environment, the main content is divided into three parts:
Part 1: Architectural Thermodynamics, which primarily elaborates on indoor thermal environments, basic heat transfer knowledge, building insulation, heat prevention, daylighting, and shading.
Part 2: Architectural Optics, which primarily covers basic architectural optics knowledge, natural lighting, and building illumination.
Part 3: Architectural Acoustics, which primarily discusses basic architectural acoustics knowledge, sound-absorbing and sound-insulating materials and structures, noise control, and indoor acoustic design. This book is suitable for students and professionals in architecture and urban planning, as well as civil engineering and related fields for learning and reference.
