How do we design in a climate emergency? A new social and
ecological prerogative demands appropriate material choices, a
re-invention of construction and evolving building programmes that
look at lifecycle, embodied energy and energy use. Highly
illustrated with practical information and simple explanations for
design ideas, this book is the perfect introduction to sustainable
design for architecture students. It presents key concepts in
relation to the embodied energy of construction, material
properties and environmental performance of buildings in an
accessible way. In explaining the principles and technologies by
which we heat, cool, moderate and mitigate, it demystifies
environmental design as a technical exercise and enables students
to create sustainable buildings with impact. Keep this sourcebook
with you. Features: Amphibious House (Baca Architects), Ashen Cabin
