Robert Hastings, Maria Wall, "Sustainable Solar Housing: Strategies and Solutions"
Earthscan Publications Ltd. | 2007 | ISBN: 1844073254 | 316 pages | PDF | 19,1 MB

This far-reaching and authoritative two-volume set examines a range of potential solutions for low-energy building design, considering different strategies (energy conservation and renewable energy) and technologies (relating to the building envelope, ventilation, heat delivery, heat production, heat storage, electricity, and control). Each volume assesses the potential of these options in a variety of contexts, covering different housing types (apartment, row, and detached) and different climate types (cold, temperate, and mild). The impressive list of authors includes a mix of internationally respected academics and practitioners, working under the auspices of a five-year International Energy Agency (IEA) research project.

Volume 1 presents strategies and solutions, offering the reader a solid platform for assessing strategies environmentally and economically, and implementing the most appropriate course of action in a variety of contexts. This will appeal to energy consultants, engineers, specialized architects, engineering and architecture students, and housing specialists.

Sustainable Solar Housing: Vol.1 - Strategies and Solutions

This far-reaching and authoritative two-volume set examines a range of potential solutions for low-energy building design, considering different strategies (energy conservation and renewable energy) and technologies (relating to the building envelope, ventilation, heat delivery, heat production, heat storage, electricity and control). Energy and life-cycle impacts are considered as crucial factors, including passive and active solar use, daylighting and high efficiency conventional heat production. Each volume assesses the potential of these options in a variety of contexts, covering different housing types (apartment, row and detached) in cold, temperate and mild climates. The impressive list of expert authors from 14 countries includes a mix of internationally respected academics and practitioners, working together within the framework of a five-year International Energy Agency (IEA) research project. Volume 1 presents strategies and solutions, offering the reader a solid basis for developing concepts, considering environmental and economic concerns for housing projects in a variety of contexts. Volume 2 offers a detailed analysis of exemplary buildings in different European countries and examines the various technologies employed to achieve their remarkable performance. Aided by clear, full colour illustrations, it offers invaluable insights into the application of these technologies.
