In this book, leading international experts explore the emerging
concept of the zero energy mass custom home (ZEMCH) - designed to
meet the need for social, economic, and environmental
sustainability - and provide all of the knowledge required for the
delivery of zero energy mass customized housing and community
developments in developed and developing countries. The coverage is
wide ranging, progressing from explanation of the meaning of
sustainable development to discussion of challenges and trends in
mass housing, the advantages and disadvantages of prefabricated
methods of construction, and the concepts of mass customization,
mass personalization, and inclusive design. A chapter on energy use
will aid the reader in designing and retrofitting housing to reduce
energy demand and/or improve energy end-use efficiency. Passive
design strategies and active technologies (especially solar) are
thoroughly reviewed. Application of the ZEMCH construction criteria
to new buildings and refurbishment of old houses is explained and
the methods and value of building performance simulation, analyzed.
The concluding chapter presents examples of ZEMCH projects from
around the world, with discussion of marketing strategy, design,
quality assurance, and delivery challenges. The book will be
invaluable as a training/teaching tool for both students and
industry partners.
