Thermal Comfort in the Sub-saharan Africa Djongyang Noël

Building's indoor climate is determined by a number of sources acting via various heat and mass transfer paths. The understanding of these phenomena is very important to improve the quality of living environments for a healthy and productive workplace. This work is indeed intended to address the whole list of issues raised by scholars and researchers in this field in the sub-Saharan region. Thermal comfort in habitat and coupled heat and mass transfer through building materials are treated in a didactic and very precise manner. The book is intended both to architecture experts and researchers, as well as students. As such, it should become an indispensable tool for many professionals and policy makers, as well as decentralized local governments who may draw inspiration from it to guide them in their decisions.
