Building Energy Simulation Using Designbuilder(tm): Envelope and Lighting
暫譯: 使用 DesignBuilder™ 進行建築能源模擬：建築外殼與照明

本書說明能源模擬的核心概念、建築模擬模型的建立方式，以及如何運用這些模型，將採光與能源效率整合至建築設計中。內容涵蓋能源模擬的核心概念、依據幾何形狀與所用材料建立建築模型、模擬建築立面（façade）的各項特性以最佳化採光與能源效率，接著介紹能源法規符合性，以及如何將生命週期評估（Life-Cycle Assessment, LCA）整合至設計流程中。本書亦包括以下內容：

• 在不依賴高等數學的前提下，說明建築能源性能背後的建築物理學與相關概念
• 涵蓋動態遮陽技術與採光策略的模擬，提供最佳化建築性能的深入見解
• 探討自然通風建築中的自適應控制
• 說明如何執行生命週期評估（LCA）與碳排放計算
• 為各種專業程度的讀者提供系統化的學習體驗

本書適合修習建築能源（模擬）或建築設計課程的學生、建築能源（模擬）研究人員、能源模擬專業人士、建築師等讀者。
