ResumoFrom the mathematical and technical foundations of energy simulation to the basic pronciples of energy software development, Joe Clarke's book “Energy simulation in building design” covers a wide range of issues. Clarke integrates written and graphic information effectively and presents an excellent list of references. Obviously, Clarke has been working on the subject of energy simulation for an extensive period of time and has accumulated immense knowledge in this area. If any criticism is appropriate, it might be the compression and wealth of information that startles the unprepared reader. Only the reader who has engaged himself in a similar thorough process of investigating the different aspects of energy simulation, will completely understand the book reading it for the first time. As a standard text and source of information about the state of the art in large-scale building energy simulation, the book will occupy an important place. “Energy Simulation in Building Design” can be used as a reference book in energy-related courses in the architectural curriculum where a standard reference book is much needed, and as an introduction for engineering courses.
