Energy conservation is addressed symbiotically withindoor airquality, function, durability, health, safety and comfort, and aesthetic goals. Examples are cited of some recent energy conscious architecture, utilizing passive and/or activesolar energy systems. These new-age buildings range from 19,500 Btu...
In discussions on energy consumption in buildings, it is frequently argued that the climate-oriented approaches of traditional architecture are a suitable model. Climate-oriented solutions in traditional buildings are rooted in the lessons from several generations of experience, using local material, ...
Solar design in contemporary architecture is rooted in the profession's sustainable turn. The relationship between architecture and energy is tied to both passive strategies and performance via more recent innovations in technology. As one way to begin addressing the global climate crisis and greenhouse...
residential homes, offices, hospitals or schools: Modern, smart buildings not only make life easier, but also contribute to a greener future. Beside the use of natural materials, renewable resources and an intelligent water management, energy efficiency is a crucial aspect of sustainable architecture...
PV technologies should be interpreted as an element in architecture that contributes to the formal quality of the whole. Integration may be limited to the application of panels on the outer surface of the building envelope coplanar with the supporting surface without the replacement of the materials...
