As such, environmental concerns should be considered in overall design decisions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book discusses the role sun control “machines” play in controlling solar and thermal radiation. It examines their geometry, their position in relation to glazing and their operation (in the cases of movable systems) to control the heat and light entering a building, as well as how their material and color influence their performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nThis book appeals to architects and designers who are interested in efficient energy facade design.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030116163\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-11617-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 128\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47671610015884,"sku":"9783030116163","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030116163.jpg?v=1776518731","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030116163","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
