Bautechnik der Gebäudehülle

The publication conveys the fundamental knowledge of the common construction methods for building envelopes in an easily understandable manner, reflecting the great diversity found in practice. It discusses various components such as comfort, thermal protection, sound insulation, room acoustics, moisture, air tightness, light, and fire protection, as well as roof structures, windows, doors, stairs/lifts, and wall and floor constructions. Energy issues, particularly the use of solar energy, are given significant importance. Maintenance and renovation are also addressed. Object examples and a comprehensive glossary complete the content. This volume is suitable as a teaching tool for the training of construction professionals at various levels—from training in building design to architecture studies at universities of applied sciences and universities, as well as for the continuing education of construction professionals in planning and execution. It also serves as a reference work for construction practitioners in planning and execution.
