About this Event
Join us on Thursday 30th April when Professor Susan Roaf will be discussing the research behind her latest book Adaptive Thermal Comfort: At the Extremes with architect Gloria Lo.
About the book:
The book is the third of three volumes, which builds on the practical and theoretical foundations of the subject laid out in the first two volumes. It builds on their premises to shape a new and better roadmap going forward for imagining, designing, and constructing adaptable buildings, and for the behavioural lifestyle changes needed to prepare humanity to survive and thrive comfortably in the very different weather and climates ahead.
Copies of the book will be available for sale on the evening at a launch price of £42.39 (20% off the RRP £52.99)
