Product Description:
Volume 1 of this two-volume set presents strategies and solutions
for sustainable solar housing, offering the reader a solid platform
for assessing environmental and economic concerns for housing
projects, and offers guidance for implementing the most appropriate
course of action in a variety of contexts. Topics include energy,
economics, ecology and marketing. The Sustainable Solar Housing set
examines a range of potential solutions for low-energy building
design, considering different strategies (energy conservation and
renewable energy) and technologies (relating to the building
envelope, ventilation, heat delivery, heat production, heat storage,
electricity and control). Each volume assesses the potential of
these options in a variety of contexts, covering different housing
types (apartment, row and detached) and different climate types
(cold, temperate and mild). The impressive list of expert authors
from 14 countries includes a mix of internationally respected
academics and practitioners, working under the auspices of a
five-year International Energy Agency (IEA) research project.
