Summary: An understanding of building physics is fundamental for the design and construction of safe, functional, energy efficient buildings. Without it, occupants' health and comfort is compromised, energy bills become unmanageable, or the building fabric itself can fail. But it's not just about providing a heating source or stopping the cold coming in; at the heart of building physics is a fine balancing act: how much ventilation will be required for the occupants and how can that be provided without compromising the thermal performance?
