'A book we need: an excellent overview of the state of the art of measurement techniques applied to airflows in buildings and to ventilation systems, written by a real expert.' Professor Francis Allard, University of La Rochelle, France 'This book is unique. It cleverly demonstrates the appropriate techniques to measure the ventilation and energy efficiency of naturally and mechanically ventilated buildings. It also offers the background necessary for this investigation, covering procedures to improve its performance and the reporting of results. This is a valuable single-source reference not only for academics but for practitioners: a practical, useful source of knowledge.' Professor Fariborz Haghighat, Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Concordia University, Canada 'A book we need: an excellent overview of the state of the art of measurement techniques applied to airflows in buildings and to ventilation systems, written by a real expert.' Professor Francis Allard, University of La Rochelle, France 'This book covers all of the important technical information for ventilation measurement. It is very useful for not only HVAC engineers but also researchers and university students.' Hiroshi Yoshino, Professor, Department of Architecture and Building Science, Tohoku University, Japan 'The technical information is presented in a clear and concise manner with all forms of detail calculations shown. Case studies are simple and useful. This book makes an excellent reference for calculating air flow and conditioning from first principles. It will make a good guide fior checking more issues. [...] All in all a very useful reference book for the technically literate.' Haico Schepers, Arup Engineers, Australia 'A thorough examination of the science behind natural ventilation and air flow in buildings... a very useful reference book.' Architectural Science Review
