The output of every study is knowledge based and informed decision that helps architects and designers in decision making process at an early stage. The output of the book bridges the architectural research methods and its application in contemporary world through a thorough understanding of sustainable building materials, construction techniques and its quantified consequences on thermal performance. This book is aimed at researchers and professionals to assist in understanding the strategies, tacts and methods of a scientific approach to assess building performance through real-life case studies from India. The implication of what is being done in the contemporary world is highlighted which will help practicing architects make design decisions. 001461538 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 24, 2023). 001461538 650_0 $$aInsulation (Heat) 001461538 650_0 $$aBuildings$$xEnvironmental engineering. 001461538 650_0 $$aBuildings$$xEnergy conservation. 001461538 650_0 $$aBuildings$$xThermal properties. 001461538 650_0 $$aSustainable buildings. 001461538 650_0 $$aSustainable construction. 001461538 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001461538 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aJ., Vijayalaxmi$$tBuilding Thermal Performance and Sustainability$$dSingapore : Springer Singapore Pte.
