The facade plays a critical role in the conception of energy- and climate-optimized buildings: it is the buildings skin and functions as an interface between interior and exterior space.
For everyone concerned with facades, Climate Skin is a comprehensive planning handbook and reference work that covers all of the relevant technical and physical aspects of the design and detailed planning of energy-efficient facades..
It provides a solid foundation of knowledge that equips the reader to make competent technical and economic evaluations of building envelopes.
Climate Skin offers concrete planning advice for architects and engineers who wish to exploit not only the architectural potential of facades but also their energy and climate-control possibilities, treating the building envelope as an essential component within a complete climate-control and technology solution.
It provides thermal and sound insulation and ventilation, and controls and guides the entrance of daylight into the building.
