Hallmark Features
|
- 3-Part Organization. (1) Analysis Techniques, (2) Design Strategies, (3) Designs for Supplementing Passive Systems—allows quick movement from the articulation of a design strategy to rendering stage.
- Introduces energy issues at the schematic phase. This book is written at a "rules-of-thumb" level to help architects think about energy issues at the beginning of the design process.
- Places buildings in context. Unlike other books about passive design (passive design = design that relies on non-mechanical systems for heating and cooling), this one looks beyond the building itself to include parameters of adjacent sites, buildings, and shadows.
- Accessible and concise. The book is written and organized so that essentials are quickly grasped.
- Many case studies and illustrations are included as appropriate. Includes coverage of daylighting and design strategies.
