This book explores the theories, practices and principles of
new approaches to solar architecture that foster both design
excellence and low-energy use. In response to the challenges of
global warming and climate change, design and technology enable
architects to achieve greater performance standards while at the
same time developing an environmental aesthetic. The book showcases
ten award-winning buildings to illustrate the aesthetic and
technological design integration of solar response in contemporary
zero-energy and low-energy architecture. For each project there is
a detailed examination of the local climate, the design and
construction, and the technology used to reduce energy use.
"Towards Zero-energy Architecture" is a much-needed call for the
design professions to redefine architecture to help solve
ecological problems.
