520 _aNew techniques for developing environmental systems that are responsive to human sensory and behavioral needs - as well as energy-budget constraints - distinguish the updated guide. Step-by-step, it shows you how to apply new sensory-perception data and building-design strategies to lighting, acoustical, and air-conditioning systems that foster comfort and productivity. Clear procedures for selecting appropriate , cost-effective systems and devices ensure that your system will meet the toughest performance and safety standards. A practical discussion of how various materials, forms, and structural relationships affect building users enables you to choose elements that suit a building's functions. Thoroughly tested development guidelines help you coordinate light generation and control, sound generation and control,and thermal and atmospheric control so that the environment benefits its inhabitants. This invaluable text provides the results of recent research into how environmental conditions affect people's comfort and behavior. It expands the frontiers of environmental design by showing you how to use new, energy-saving technology to create conditions conducive to attention, motivation, relaxation, or recreation. No other currently available book links the technology of environmental control with the art of architectural design and the science of human behavior. Architects, interior designers, and architectural consultants will find "Architectural Interior Systems, Second Edition" their most indispensable design resource.
