Construction

Comfort based on temperature and moisture, whether in homes, offices, sports arenas or other buildings, is seen as an important element contributing to global climate change because of the huge demand for energy required. Even though green building is a common aspiration, very few are willing to relinquish cool, fresh offices in summer and warm houses in winter. A good understanding of airflow and thermal flux often reveals simple, robust and cost-effective solutions that reduce a building's carbon footprint as well as enhance occupant comfort.
