Design Strategies for Efficient and Sustainable Building Facilities
Roberto Alonso González-Lezcano
Despite the growing emphasis on energy efficiency in building design, our indoor environments often fall short of providing optimal conditions for health and well-being. Indoor air quality, temperature, and lighting levels play crucial roles in occupant health, yet they are frequently overlooked in building practices. This oversight leads to environments that can harm health, contributing to respiratory problems, allergies, and reduced productivity. Design Strategies for Efficient and Sustainable Building Facilities offers a comprehensive solution. We delve into recent advances in building design, construction, and operation that prioritize energy efficiency and occupant health. By incorporating intelligent sensors, automation systems, and renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, buildings can be transformed into healthy, sustainable spaces that promote well-being. This book is tailored for researchers, professionals, university professors, and master's and doctoral students who seek to advance sustainable building practices.

Washington State's Round Barns
Tom Bartuska
Enchanted by their beauty, complexity, and historical significance, Tom and Helen Bartuska spent decades researching archives and visiting every Washington round barn over fifty years old, at least two stories, and over fifty feet in diameter they could find. When possible, they took photographs and talked with owners to tell each structure's story--who built it and when, original and current uses, individual characteristics, construction details, and more. They also introduce the history, development, and successful re-use and conservation of other types of buildings, hoping to inspire others to help maintain, preserve, and reanimate existing structures and unite communities.
