Energy Conservation in Buildings : the Achievement of 50% Energy Saving, an Environmental Challenge? - International Conference Proceedings.

Energy Conservation in Buildings : the Achievement of 50% Energy Saving, an Environmental Challenge? - International Conference Proceedings.

The NORTHSUN 90 conference provided a forum for scientists from high latitude countries to discuss their experience of solar energy. The book is divided into two parts, Part One deals with energy conservation and management in buildings and solar and low energy architecture. Part Two covers all aspe...
