Samenvatting:

Linking comfort and design, this book is the first reference to explore the comfort/discomfort paradigm. Comfort and Design: Principles and Good Practice presents cases that demonstrate the success that companies from five countries around the world have enjoyed by engineering products with comfort in mind. The contributors discuss the theory behind comfort design and demonstrate practice by using case examples, presenting these elements together for the first time in one source. The text also explores the costs and benefits associated with reducing discomfort and increasing comfort. This book will serve as a guide to developing and implementing effective design strategies to deal with comfort.
