Srinivasan, RaviUnknown
Rouledge (London, 2015) (eng) English9781138803534PocketArchitecture: technical design seriesUnknownBUILDINGS-ENERGY CONSERVATION; Glossary: p. 123126; "Building on the emergy method pioneered by systems ecologist Howard T. Odum, the authors situate the energy practices of architecture within the hierarchies of energy and the thermodynamics of the large, non-equilibrium, non-linear energy systems that drive buildings, cities, the planet, and the universe"--Page 4 of cover.
