Building Openings provide lighting and ventilation and regulate the climate in rooms. They are also major functional and design elements in a facade and, as transparent or translucent structural elements, communicate between interior and exterior spaces. Like the rest of a building envelope, windows and exterior doors are subject to various requirements in terms of their materials, types of construction and installation situations. Planning and installing them involves a range of fire safety, noise protection, insulation and energy efficiency issues,
as well as a need for air-tightness and burglary prevention.
The Building Openings Construction Manual opens with historic developments, provides solid facts on building in existing buildings, and offers detailed specialist information on the topic of building openings. Comprehensive descriptions of successful practical projects offer a wealth of constructive ideas for planners' and builders' own work.BOOK ARCHITECTURAL
