The below 358 page book is a good (I got it as a gift) - but is quite technical with math formula's in quite a few places. Outside of those, it does have great diagrams and info, I.E, about thermal comfort, stack effect. And onwards into Light and Sonic environment. Good data sheets for each section, I.E: thermal properties, and sonic properties, of all kinds of materials. This info in itself is very helpful to possibly some wiser choices.
