Description
Over the course of the last decade or so the concept of sustainability has become a major focus of attention in architecture and the building industry. It requires the use of intelligent technology, innovative construction, environmentally suitable materials, and an efficient approach to energy supply. This development is especially pronounced in the area of residential housing, since we now see a growing sensitivity to quality of life and accommodation. People increasingly insist on a healthy indoor climate, natural moisture exchange, thermal comfort, and freedom from hazardous substances.
This book provides extensive and technically detailed documentation of 25 sustainable residential structures from around the world, with a slight bias towards central Europe. There is considerable variety among the individual projects in terms of their size and the materials used, and the examples come from both rural regions and urban areas. Documentation is with text, photography and plans.
