    Eco-efficient Materials for Reducing Cooling Needs in Buildings and Construction:
    Design, Properties, and Applications provides a comprehensive review of building
    envelope materials and technologies for reducing cooling needs. The book offers indepth
    analysis of the performance of new innovative materials and technologies used
    in pavements, fa{\c c}ades, and roofing, including detailed information on phase change
    materials (PCMs) and chromogenic smart materials, and includes practical case study
    examples of their applications in buildings and construction. The book is an essential
    reference resource for researchers, architects and civil engineers, city planners,
    product developers, manufacturers, and other professionals working in the areas of
    eco-efficient cooling materials and sustainable and zero-energy building design.
