| Summary Note |
The chapters in this book, written by international experts from different fields of architecture and engineering, are devoted to recent interdisciplinary works in a variety of subjects related to sustainable architecture and engineering, environmental modeling, behavioral science and public health. The invited contributions focus on new ideas, concepts and research work with multidisciplinary applications. Â Special features of this volume include indoor and urban design impacts on human comfort, modeling and assessment of multi-scale design dynamics, as well as new results from diverse areas of research spanning from architecture and engineering to neuroscience and public health. Â Sustainable Environmental Design in Architecture is intended for graduate students and researchers of architecture, engineering, neuroscience, public health, social and computational sciences, architectural modeling and related fields.: |
