Abstract

2000 years ago the roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio wrote the ten books on architecture establishing the concept of the pattern book offering design principles and solutions that is still referred to in every architect's education. A Green Vitruvius is intended as a green pattern book for today.Now fully updated, this well established textbook provides advice suitable for undergraduate and post graduate students on the integration of sustainable practice into the design and construction process, the issues to be considered, the strategies to be adopted, the elements of green design and

Abstract

Net-zero energy buildings, equilibrium buildings, or carbon-neutral citiesdepending on location and underlying agenda, the statistics vary. The variety of terms in use indicates that a scientific method is still lackingwhich poses a problem not just in regard to international communication, but also with respect to planning processes as a response to energy challenges. The clarification and meaning of the most important terms in use is extremely important for their implementation. Since October 2008 a panel of experts from an international energy agency has concerned itself with these topics as part of a project entitled Toward Net Zero Energy Solar Buildings. The objective is to analyze exemplary buildings that are near a zero-energy balance in order to develop methods and tools for the planning, design, and operation of such buildings. The results are documented in this publication. More than just a showcase presentation of select projects, the focus of this publication is on relaying knowledge and experience gained by planners and builders. Even if many questions remain unanswered, project examples that have already been implemented prove on a practical basis that the objective of a zero-energy balance is already attainable today.

Abstract

Summary: Energy is everything - and we are used to this in the means of energy reduction for our buildings: climate design and climate engineering is nowadays standard in the design process. The more successful we are in this, the less energy we need to run the building during its useful life (which is good) and we can focus instead on an additional aspect: the embodied energy - the energy we need for the material production and construction process. Interestingly, the reduction in energy used in a climate-efficient building during its lifetime is equal to the energy consumption necessary to produce and install the building. This aspect triggers us to reconsider the design potentials of focusing on less energy in the construction.

Abstract

For sustainable operation of buildings, energy-efficient systems for heating, cooling, ventilation and the supply of power are essential. Particularly during building renovations, modifications of the building services allow great savings to be realised at relatively little expense. The book "Sustainable Building Services" explains in compact, easy-to-understand form the most important system concepts and components. It documents how each of the technologies works and shows how they interact in overall concepts. The state of development of technologies of the future such as photovoltaics, heat pumps or solar climate control is also documented. The authors pay special attention to renovation measures and the optimisation of operational processes. 15 current building examples illustrate how building services are individually adjusted to different uses, building sizes and climate zones. The book thus provides both architects and specialist engineers with an important knowledge base for planning energy-efficient buildings.

Abstract

L'architecte a un rôle majeur à jouer dans la résolution des crises écologiques et sociales qui pèsent sur ce début de siècle. Les fondamentaux de l'architecture - depuis la nature même des matériaux utilisés jusqu'à la structure et la fonctionnalité des bâtiments - doivent être radicalement repensés. L'architecture de l'avenir s'organise autour du concept de "soutenabilité" (sustainability), mettant en avant à la fois l'impératif de durabilité des projets dans le temps, et celui d'acceptabilité sociale et environnementale.
