Energy Efficiency in Building Envelope

Více o knize

The construction boom in Morocco is set to dramatically increase the housing stock by approximately three million units over the next twenty years. However, existing buildings contribute to significant urban heat issues due to materials like concrete and asphalt, which absorb and radiate heat, creating "urban heat islands." This phenomenon leads to infrastructure deterioration, thermal discomfort, and serious health problems, including respiratory and cardiovascular issues. The book explores the implications of these challenges on urban living and the need for sustainable building practices.
