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

本書說明能源模擬的關鍵概念、建築模擬模型的建立方式，以及如何運用這些模型，將日光利用與能源效率整合至建築設計中。本書涵蓋能源模擬的核心概念、依據建築幾何形狀與所使用材料建立建築模型、模擬建築外牆的各項特徵以最佳化日光利用與能源效率，並進一步探討能源法規符合性，以及如何將生命週期評估（Life-Cycle Assessment, LCA）整合至設計流程中。本書也包含以下內容：

• 不依賴高階數學，說明建築物能源性能背後的建築物理與相關概念
• 涵蓋動態遮陽技術與日光利用策略的模擬，深入解析如何最佳化建築性能
• 探討自然通風建築中的適應性控制
• 說明如何執行生命週期評估（LCA）與碳排放計算
• 為不同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、建築能源研究人員、能源模擬專業人士、建築師等讀者。
