This book introduces recent advances in building simulation and outlines its historic development. Two important topics are described: uncertainty in simulation and coupled simulations; which are both closely linked to attempts to improve control and accuracy. This is followed by coverage of wind simulations and predictions; and then by an introduction to current systems and phenomenological modelling. Written by leading experts in the field both in the US and Europe; Advanced Building Simulation is an excellent graduate-level student textbook as well as a practical guide for architects; engineers and other construction professionals.

Disappointing and very small reproductionsBy PorterA good attempt; especially given the paucity of this material in print; but the illustrations with poems are just too tiny for comfortable reading. Very disappointing.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Too smallBy dmmjsmHad to purchase for a college course. Book is small; hard to see and read. This is a celebrated text; but in this small format; it cannot be appreciated.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Dont BuyBy SNAs I have read a brilliant version of this book many years ago at the British Council; I was thrilled to see it on offer and decided to buy. The experience was really disappointing. The lettering is very faint and the quality of the book is cheap like the price. Do not buy if you love books or poetry.
