✦ Synopsis

Ford architects, contractors, engineers and specialists in the field, this book uses real-world evidence from a Technology Strategy Board-funded research project to develop a set of tools for architects and other building designers to meet a growing need to anticipate future climate change. Built on in his seminal future climate change report for the TSB, identifies three broad categories of climate change impacts on building design – comfort and energy performance, construction, and managing water.
