Dostępność: na zamówienie "Pleasure Palaces. The Art & Homes" of Hunt Slonem is a survey of Hunt Slonem’s artwork in diverse media over the past 30 years. A prolific painter, Slonem also works in sculpture and prints. In addition to a critical analysis of Slonem’s work, poet and critic Vincent Katz will introduce the reader to the fantastic homes and spiritual life that inform Slonem’s work. Slonem owns two lofts in New York City, a Victorian mansion in Hudson, New York, and two plantation homes in Louisiana. In New York, his environments are enlivened not only by his collections of neogothic furniture, Blenko glass, and period frames, but also by his astonishing collection of tropical birds.

W ostatnich latach, w związku z dążeniem do zmniejszenia eksploatacyjnej energochłonności budynków, obliczenia przepływów ciepła w strukturze i przestrzeni budynków stały się problemem pierwszorzędnej wagi. Obliczenia cieplne wykonywane są w celu określenia obciążenia cieplnego budynku, będącego elementem projektu instalacji ogrzewczej oraz do wyznaczenia zapotrzebowania na energię do ogrzewania w obliczeniach charakterystyki energetycznej budynku.
