From Dr. Rijal:
We have published the book. I would like to give congratulations to 55 authors. I have edited the Part II Adaptive Thermal Comfort & Part III Adaptive Behavior, and wrote 7 chapters. If it is possible, please share to your friends.
本を出版しました。55人の著者の皆様、おめでとうございます。私も「第2部 適応的温温熱快適性」と「第3部 適応的行動」を編集し、7つの章を書きました。良かったら、知り合いの方々に「シェア」して下さい。
हामीले किताब प्रकाशित गर्यौ ! ५५ जना लेखकहरुलाई धेरै धेरै बधाई दिन चाहन्छु ! मैले पनि भाग २. समायोजनक तापीय आनन्दपन र भाग ३. समायोजनक व्यवहार को संपादन गरि, ७ अध्याय लेखेको छु ! मिल्छ भने, तपाईको साथीहरुलाई सिएर गरिदिनुहोला !

—-Abstract—
This book provides information on the latest research findings that are useful in the context of designing sustainable houses and living in rapidly growing Asian cities. The book is composed of seven parts, comprising a total of 50 chapters written by 55 authors from various countries, mainly in the Asian region. Part I introduces vernacular houses in different Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Nepal, China, Thailand and Laos. Parts II and III then explore in depth indoor adaptive thermal comfort and occupants’ adaptive behavior, focusing especially on those in hot-humid climates. Part IV presents detailed survey results on household energy consumption in various tropical Asian cities, while Part V analyses the indoor thermal conditions in both traditional houses and modern houses in these countries. Several real-world sustainable housing practices in Asian cities are reviewed in the following part. The final part then discusses the vulnerability of expanding Asian cities to climate change and urban heat island.
Today, approximately 35-40% of global energy is consumed in Asia, and this percentage is expected to rise further. Energy consumption has increased, particularly in the residential sector, in line with the rapid rise of the middle class. The majority of growing Asian cities are located in hot and humid climate regions, and as such there is an urgent need for designers to provide healthy and comfortable indoor environments that do not consume non-renewable energy or resources excessively. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in sustainable house design in the growing cities of Asia.
