Basic elements of the building process

  • Chapter
Inhabiting the earth as a finite world

Abstract

In Chapter 3 we endeavoured to arrive at the principal general input data needed for the model. We are now concerned specifically with building data. Ultimately, limiting values will have to be established for every housing unit with respect to the building materials available, energy, permissible pollution, and so on. Chapter 5 will examine whether the limits are in fact adequate for the complete design of a house.
