PRECAST CONCRETE: ENERGY-COST-EFFECTIVE BUILDING FACADES
To assist in the design of energy-efficient facades, this publication is available on-line as a PDF from the National Precast Concrete Association Australia.
Consisting of 16 pages, it examines factors affecting the thermal environment within a building, the size of airconditioning plant and recurrent energy loads. These are illustrated with many case studies. There is also handy solar load reduction graphs for the latitude of Sydney.
