This comprehensive guide, “Bioclimatic Design and Construction: Volume II”, focuses on the environmentally friendly and energy-efficient concept of bioclimatic greenhouses. This unique architectural solution, often referred to as the “Swiss-army chainsaw” of architecture, is a pivotal element of modern sustainable construction.
Our second volume specifically dives into the intricate design and construction of bioclimatic wooden greenhouses. It sheds light on the principles of designing and constructing low-energy, eco-friendly architecture with minimal environmental impact.
Here are the key topics covered in this book:
– Designing and building free-standing greenhouses: Learn how to construct greenhouses that can independently manage their heating and cooling, leading to substantial energy savings.
– Lean-to greenhouses: Discover how these unique structures can aid in naturally heating and cooling buildings, further enhancing energy efficiency.
– Agricultural and residential greenhouses: Understand the nuances of designing greenhouses for different purposes, including agricultural use and as living spaces for people.
This trans-disciplinary guide bridges several areas of study, including environmental science, construction, and structural design. The single-author narrative ensures a cohesive and clear approach, making complex topics understandable for anyone interested in sustainable architecture.
“Bioclimatic Design and Construction: Volume II” adopts a multi-faceted approach to communication, incorporating 3D construction drawings and real-world examples for clarity. It includes both cutting-edge and experimental solutions in the field of bioclimatic design, making it a must-have resource for anyone interested in sustainable construction practices.
Discover more about the art and science of bioclimatic design, and how it can revolutionize your approach to sustainable construction.
