About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This problem book is a companion volume to the 2nd edition of the book 'Building Physics: From Physical Principles to International Standards'. The primary book offers a comprehensive presentation of the most important phenomena in building physics: heat transfer, moisture/humidity, sound/acoustics and illumination.The problem book includes both problems and solutions. Most of the problems are as practical as possible, while remaining conceptual and avoiding overreach. Many of the solutions presented do not simply end upon determination of the correct answer, but include further explanations for a deeper understanding of the theory and/or connections to other everyday phenomena. These explanations can be of great value to lecturers who use the primary book for their courses. All solutions are cross-referenced to the formulas or explanations in the primary book. This establishes the connection between theory and practice and contributes to a more thorough understanding of the subject. The book is primarily intended for lecturers and students of all subjects related to building physics.

About the Author

Marko Pinterić received his Ph.D. from the University of Zagreb, Croatia. He is currently an associate professor at the University of Maribor, Slovenia. As an assistant professor and associate professor, he taught various physics-related subjects to engineering and architecture students at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering, and Architecture in Maribor, Slovenia, for 12 years. He also spent six years as the head of the research and development department of a private Slovenian company specializing in building physics. He has 20 years of research experience in condensed matter physics accrued at the Institute of Physics in Zagreb, Croatia and at the First Institute of Physics in Stuttgart, Germany, and 10 years of research experience in building physics at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering and Architecture in Maribor, Slovenia, and at the private Slovenian company. The English edition of "Building Physics" was first publishedby Springer in 2017, with the 2nd ed. being released in 2021; the book was translated into Chinese in 2021. This book has been the choice as the main resource for many university courses in the field around the world.
