101 Rules of Thumb for Low-Energy Architecture Heywood Huw
Buildings and construction are a major contributor to the climate and biodiversity emergency. It is more important than ever for architects to design responsibly and create low-carbon, low-energy buildings for a sustainable future. They account for nearly 40% of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Where ever-changing technology and complex legislation can cloud the designer's thought-process, this book equips you with the fundamentals you need to minimise CO2 emissions, design for low-energy use and work with, not against, the forces of nature. 101 Rules of Thumb sets out the essential elements of low-energy architecture in a fresh, intuitive way. With reliable, simple rules of thumb, each page focuses on a single piece of guidance along with a clear hand-drawn illustration.
The emphasis is on passive low-energy principles, and the rules of thumb cover all the
