商品描述

This book describes how comfort, energy and climate change in developing countries and vulnerable sectors of the population relate to buildings.

The building sector is currently facing significant challenges connected to energy consumption, energy poverty and climate change effects. When studied in developing countries and vulnerable sectors of the population, these factors, which are commonplace in the tropics and the southern hemisphere, are interlinked and share a critical component: environmental comfort. Although progress has been made in environmental comfort through research and the development of standards and policies at the international level, in the Global South, where the countries with the highest levels of income inequality are concentrated, environmental comfort has its own characteristics and challenges that prevent a clear understanding from the established vision of the Global North.

This book presents research, theories and techniques related to Thermal comfort, Indoor air quality, Visual comfort, and Acoustic comfort and its relationship with energy use and energy efficiency, seeking to address different barriers to environmental comfort. It shows how to improve the way buildings are designed and operated to promote healthier environmental conditions and more sustainable construction, by presenting studies and reflections carried out in the target geographical area: the Global South. In this way, this book contributes to developing the concept of environmental comfort, visualising how progress has been made in understanding it from a tropical and southern perspective, and posing common challenges.

The book is intended for engineers, architects, and researchers of the built environment who are interested in environmental comfort and its influence on energy consumption, energy poverty, and other related factors in the Global South context. It is also a useful resource for decision-makers and public policy developers concerned with the indoor comfort of buildings. Moreover, the book aims to provide guidance for those in developing countries by gathering existing knowledge in the field for the tropics and southern hemisphere climatic and sociocultural contexts, allowing us to move forward in this subject with actions and proposed solutions that fit our particular needs.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書描述了舒適度、能源和氣候變化在發展中國家和弱勢人口中與建築物的關係。建築部門目前面臨著與能源消耗、能源貧困和氣候變化效應相關的重大挑戰。當這些因素在發展中國家和弱勢人口中研究時，這些在熱帶地區和南半球很常見的因素是相互關聯且共享一個關鍵組成部分：環境舒適度。儘管在國際層面上在環境舒適度方面已經取得了進展，通過研究和制定標準和政策，但在全球南方，收入不平等程度最高的國家集中的地區，環境舒適度具有其自身的特點和挑戰，這阻礙了對全球北方既定視野的清晰理解。

本書介紹了與熱舒適度、室內空氣質量、視覺舒適度和聽覺舒適度以及其與能源使用和能源效率的關係相關的研究、理論和技術，旨在解決環境舒適度的不同障礙。它展示了如何改善建築物的設計和運營，以促進更健康的環境條件和更可持續的建築，通過在目標地理區域——全球南方進行的研究和反思。通過這種方式，本書有助於發展環境舒適度的概念，展示了從熱帶和南方的角度對其的理解取得了進展，並提出了共同的挑戰。

本書面向對建築環境感興趣的工程師、建築師和研究人員，以及關注建築物室內舒適度的決策者和公共政策制定者。此外，本書旨在為發展中國家的人們提供指導，通過收集熱帶和南半球氣候和社會文化背景下的現有知識，使我們能夠針對我們特定的需求推進這一主題的行動和提出解決方案。
