Advanced Building Simulation

Introduces advances in building simulation and outlines its historic development. This book describes two important topics: uncertainty in simulation and coupled simulations, which are both closely linked to attempts to improve control and accuracy. It is suitable for architects, engineers and other construction professionals.
