Does energy consumption influence architectural style? Should more
energy-efficient buildings look different? Can that "look" be used
to explain or enhance their performance? Architecture and Energy
provides architects and architectural theorists with more durable
arguments for environmental design decisions, arguments addressing
three different scales or aspects of contemporary construction. By
drawing together essays from the leading experts in the field, this
book engages with crucial issues in sustainable design, such as:
The larger role of energy in forming the cultural and economic
systems in which architecture is conceived, constructed, and
evaluated The different measures and meanings of energy
"performance" and how those measures are realized in buildings The
specific ways in which energy use translates into the visible
aspects of architectural style. Drawing on research from the UK,
US, Europe, and Asia the book outlines the problems surrounding
energy and architecture and provides the reader with a considered
overview of this important topic.
