Innovations in Energy Efficient Construction Through Sustainable Materials
Roberto Alonso González-Lezcano
The construction industry, a cornerstone of modern development, must meet the growing demand for new buildings while minimizing environmental impact. As global populations rise and living standards improve, the need for sustainable building practices has never been more apparent. Traditional construction methods and materials contribute significantly to carbon emissions, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss. Addressing these issues requires innovative solutions that balance development needs with environmental stewardship. Innovations in Energy Efficient Construction Through Sustainable Materials offers a comprehensive response to this pressing problem. The book explores pioneering approaches to building design and construction, focusing on the use of alternative, low-carbon materials and advanced technologies. It provides an in-depth analysis of current and future trends in sustainable construction, covering topics such as recycling waste materials, utilizing biodegradable resources, and implementing energy-efficient designs. By presenting a variety of research fields and practical applications, the book bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world solutions, making it an essential resource for industry professionals, researchers, and advanced students.

Health and Well-Being Considerations in the Design of Indoor Environments
Roberto A. González-Lezcano
Indoor residential environments have a direct influence on human health, both in developed and developing countries. Significant levels of indoor pollution can make housing unsafe and can negatively impact on human health. Housing, therefore, is a key health factor for people all over the world, and various parameters such as air quality, ventilation, hygrothermal comfort, lighting, physical environment, building efficiency, and others can contribute to healthy architecture and the conditions that can result from the poor application of these parameters. Health and Well-Being Considerations in the Design of Indoor Environments addresses issues concerning indoor environmental quality (IEQ), including air quality and ventilation, access to daylight and views, acoustic conditions, and control over lighting and thermal comfort, as well as the impact that this environment can have on human health and mental well-being. The book also investigates the functional aspects of interior design such as whether the layout provides easy access to tools and sufficient space for occupants. It also considers energy demand and building energy losses due to such issues as air renovations and enclosure infiltrations. Covering topics such as sustainable design, pollution, building materials, and lighting, this book is an effective resource for students, professors, academicians, researchers, architects, designers, planners, engineers, interior designers, building managers, construction companies, and other industry professionals looking to increase building occupant satisfaction by considering all aspects of IEQ.
