Abstract

Contains significant changes from the 2006 version of CIBSE Guide A. Addition of a new chapter (Chapter 0) which considers the quality of the environmental design. It identifies two specific requirements for achieving quality in building design, namely adopting a holistic approach to the design, and a system to assure the quality of the design calculations and decisions. Subsequent chapters each cover an individual aspect of environmental design, namely criteria for design, and methods of calculation. Updated content reflects current UK legislation, specifically the 2013 Building Regulations Approved Documents L and F, and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive recommendations.
