Zusammenfassung: Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 Energy and construction policies in the past fifty years -- Chapter 3 From symbolic and sacred to economic and efficient - Circular economy and the buildings -- Chapter 4 Architectural means and tools for providing indoor air comfort - A historic perspective -- Chapter 5 From yesterday towards tomorrow.Zusammenfassung: Architectural Design Strategies for Saving Energy in Buildings: An Architect's View employs an architect’s perspective, defined equally as art and engineering science, to the contemporary concept of designing buildings that use less energy. This approach to lowering energy consumption via integrated measures (both passive and active) offers a nuanced perspective on managing building efficiency — that energy saving is not a target in itself but results as a consequence of the architectural concept. The book does not provide calculations or levels of performance. Rather, by sticking to qualitative principles of architectural design and analyzing and using the force and laws of nature in shaping the built space, the author argues for decreasing energy consumption through the process of design, the principles of building physics, the volume of the building itself, and spatial configuration as it relates to the costs of operating the building. This approach contrasts the traditional construction system of only providing a thermal insulated ”blanket” over the envelope and equipment that produces energy from unconventional sources, which can be calculated according to regulations. Amidst the current discourse on sustainability and energy efficiency, this book offers a thought-provoking read for professionals in architecture, civil engineering, and construction, as well as graduate students in related courses. It presents an architect's approach to nearly zero-emission building design, analyses architectural strategies that efficiently use energy in buildings, and examines famous buildings and their innovative design as examples of good practice. Presents an architect’s approach to nearly zero-emission building design; Analyses architectural strategies that provide an efficient use of energy in buildings; Examines famous buildings and their innovative design as examples of good practice.PPN: PPN: 1908968613Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-ENG | ZDB-2-SXE
