Description
Sustainable architecture is one of the hottest topics in architecture today. But how is an energy-efficient building actually created?
Energy Efficient Architecture uses the latest built examples and technological advances to systematically explain the design and construction of sustainable architecture. The book is split into sections dealing in turnwith energy-efficient urban design, building design, and detail design. Extensive plans and technical information illustrate the energy profile of each completed project. The book also demonstrates the enormous cost-cutting potential of modernizing energy systems in older buildings. Examples and methods explored include the German-Austrian passive house, the Swiss Energy standard and the Spanish Arquitectura Bioclimatica.
Energy Efficient Architecture is a thorough introduction to sustainable architecture and an indispensable book for all who face the challenge of planning an integrated, energy-efficient building.
