The laws of thermodynamics-and their implications for
architecture-have not been fully integrated into architectural
design. Architecture and building science too often remain
constrained by linear concepts and methodologies regarding energy
that occlude significant quantities and qualities of energy. The
Hierarchy of Energy in Architecture addresses this situation by
providing a clear overview of what energy is and what architects
can do with it. Building on the emergy method pioneered by systems
ecologist Howard T. Odum, the authors situate the energy practices
of architecture within the hierarchies of energy and the
thermodynamics of the large, non-equilibrium, non-linear energy
systems that drive buildings, cities, the planet and universe. Part
of the PocketArchitecture series, the book is divided into a
fundamentals section, which introduces key topics and the emergy
methodology, and an applications section, which features case
studies applying emergy to various architectural systems. The book
provides a concise but rigorous exposure to the system boundaries
of the energy systems related to buildings and as such will appeal
to professional architects and architecture students.
