Description
Since the OPEC oil price shocks in the early and late 1970s, research and development has focused on improving end-use energy efficiency. The buildings sector of developed countries uses from one-third to one-half of their total energy consumption. Consequently, research and development has resulted in new building and building system design practices with reductions of 50 to 75 percent in energy usage, compared to buildings of the 1960s and early 1970s. This book contains papers from the "Twenty-First Symposium of the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer", conducted in 1989 in Yugoslavia. International experts presented research on building heat and mass transport, necessary for energy-efficient buildings. It is aimed at mechanical and civil engineers, and heat transfer, energy and enviromental researchers.
