Description and Table of Contents
Description
A detailed design guide to energy-efficient, passive solar architecture, drawing together essential information from leading European practitioners and world experts. The book includes arguments for energy conservation in Europe and a review of CEC solar programmes. The first section of the book concentrates on the environment, providing an analysis of European climates, with examples of typical architectural responses, both traditional and modern. A topographical analysis of a range of locations including coastal, plain and woodland locations, illustrating different architectural choices in a representative range. The second section looks at buildings examining such issues as passive solar heating strategies, daylighting control systems and evaluation methods.
