This book discusses with equal emphasis and detail the physiological, physical and architectural aspects of the relationship between climate, man and architecture. An idea underlying this book is that it is impossible to consider the effect of any of the various factors, influencing either thermal comfort or the indoor climate by itself, as the effect of each one of them, and the requirements with respect to it, depend on the level and conditions of other factors. Therefore, an emphasis has been placed on the interactions between the effects of the various factors. Since the first edition, research into the physiological effects of the thermal environment has resulted in several biophysical predictive models of various physiological responses to work, the thermal environment and clothing properties. Some of these models are summarised in the new version of Chapter 3. Chapter 10 has been re-written, with emphasis on the description of the motion of the sun and architectural methods of sun control. A new chapter deals with the utilisation of natural energies for heating and cooling of buildings and analyses the suitability of different systems to different climatic conditions and building types. The final chapter covers research on the prediction of the indoor temperatures in buildings under their 'natural' state, without air-conditioning.
