The Importance of the Thermal Aspects in Designing Public Buildings Along with Timber Structures

Abstract

One of the most challenging aspects of buildings at present times is the process of merging thermal with environmental qualities in architecture. Therefore, to execute this process, it is necessary to have healthy and sustainable design strategies. One of the main problems in this joint strategy is providing efficiency, quality, and aesthetics within the buildings. Raising the question of this topic in the public buildings makes this issue even more complex and more emblematic. Before delivering a certain indoor quality of the structures, there is a tremendous necessity of proposing sustainable and efficient design approaches. Accordingly, in this text, wood buildings are taken into account. This research integrates sustainability and thermal aspects of public building design such as libraries. For that reason, the application of the results may find a place between various design methodologies to indicate thermal qualities.
