Climate change mitigation and sustainable practices are now at the
top of political and technical agendas. Environmental system
modelling provides a way of appraising options and this book will
make a significant contribution to the uptake of such systems. It
provides knowledge of the principles involved in modelling systems,
builds confidence amongst designers and offers a broad perspective
of the potential of these new technologies.
The aim of the book is to provide an understanding of the concepts and principles behind predictive modelling methods; review progress in the development of the modelling software available; and explore modelling in building design through international case studies based on real design problems.
