A new approach to comfort describes the evolution of heating and ventilation technologies in buildings between 1840 and 1920, from a cultural-historical, architectural-historical and installation-technical perspective.
The many technological and social innovations in the nineteenth century had a major impact on daily life and the built environment. Because progress also took place in the field of health and hygiene, the indoor climate in buildings became an increasingly important point of research. Innovations that followed from this, such as central heating and mechanical ventilation, led to radical spatial and architectural changes in buildings.
With numerous examples, A new approach to comfort offers insight into historical climate technologies and architectural developments focused on health and comfort. In this way, the book not only contributes to the development of knowledge about the indoor climate in historical buildings, but also serves as a source of inspiration for sustainable transformations.
