In this significantly revised third edition, Designing Zero Carbon Buildings combines embodied and operational emissions into a structured approach for achieving zero emissions by a specific year with certainty. Simulation and quantitative methods are introduced in parallel with analogue scale models to demonstrate how things work in buildings. Where equations are provided, this is also... Read more

Biography

Prof Ljubomir Jankovic, MSc, PhD, CEng, MCIBSE, MASHRAE, FIAP, FIBPSA, has spent the past 35 years as an academic, researcher and practitioner, focusing on how environmental design of buildings can be improved using instrumental performance monitoring, dynamic simulation, advanced computer modelling methods, and utilisation of bio-sourced materials. He holds an MSc from the University of Belgrade and a PhD from the University of Birmingham, both in Mechanical Engineering. He is a Chartered Engineer, a Member of ASHRAE, a Member of CIBSE, a Fellow of the Institution of Analysts and Programmers and a Fellow of the International Building Performance Simulation Association. His professional society activities included roles of President of ASHRAE UK London and South East Chapter, Vice-President of ASHRAE UK Chapter, and an ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer.
