Both professionals and students are increasingly committed to
achieving high-performance metrics in the design, construction and
operation of residential buildings. This book responds to this
demand by offering a comprehensive guide which features:
architectural innovations in building skin technologies which make
lighter more transparent buildings high performing energy-free
architectural design principles and advances in building-integrated
photovoltaics essential engineering principles, controls and
approaches to simulation for achieving net zero the advantages of
integrated design in residential construction and the challenges
and opportunities it engenders detailed case studies of innovative
homes which have incorporated low-energy design solutions, new
materials, alternative building assemblies, digital fabrication,
integrated engineering systems and operational controls. Divided
into four parts, the book discusses the requisite AEC
(Architecture, Engineering and Construction) knowledge needed when
building a high-performance home. It also communicates this
information across four case studies, which provide the reader with
a thorough overview of all aspects to be considered in the design
and construction of sustainable homes. With contributions from
experts in the field, the book provides a well-rounded and
multi-faceted approach. This book is essential reading for students
