This comprehensive book serves as a pioneering guide to bioclimatic design and construction, specifically focusing on the versatility of modern environmental systems – the bioclimatic greenhouse. This is the first in a series of four books, each dedicated to exploring the potential of greenhouses as the “Swiss-army chainsaw” of sustainable architecture.
In this initial volume, we provide you with the fundamental principles of preliminary bioclimatic greenhouse design. These principles are not only invaluable for greenhouses but also for general bioclimatic and low-energy architectural designs. The result is a design approach with minimal environmental impact.
This multi-volume series covers a wide range of topics such as:
– Free-standing greenhouses that utilize natural methods for heating and cooling
– Lean-to greenhouses that support the natural heating and cooling of adjacent buildings
– Both agricultural and recreational greenhouses, making it a versatile guide for different needs
This trans-disciplinary work draws from a broad spectrum of study areas – from environmental and constructional to structural. It presents these complex topics with clarity, thanks to the unified voice of a single author and a design-centric approach.
In this book, we adopt a multifaceted approach to explanation and communication. We include:
– 3D construction drawings for clearer understanding
– Real-world examples to illustrate principles
– State-of-the-art solutions for modern design challenges
– Innovative, experimental design ideas for forward-thinking architects
This volume is more than a book – it’s a comprehensive guide to sustainable, energy-efficient design in the realm of architecture. It is an indispensable resource for both professionals and students in the field of sustainable architecture and bioclimatic design.
