Health and the built environment

G.W. Brundrett

Renewable Energy, 1994, vol. 5, issue 5, 967-973

Abstract: Two opposing trends threaten the architect and engineer. The first is concern for global pollution. Not only energy use but also energy sources will be defined in terms of atmospheric contamination. Annual carbon dioxide targets will be established. Architects will have to become more energy conscious and numerate. The second is a demand for a performance specification for a more satisfying indoor climate. Engineers will have to pay higher regard to the inhabitants and quantify occupant satisfaction. Building design will be performance based both in terms of external pollution and guaranteed internal conditions.
