Sun, Wind, & Light: Architectural Design Strategies [Englisch] [Taschenbuch]

"No architect should neglect to follow the advice that it gives." (Center for Education in the Built Environment, August 2002)

Architecture/Environment
How to design buildings that heat with the sun, cool with the wind, light with the sky, and move into the future using on-site renewable resources
Developed for rapid use during schematic design, this book clarifies relationships between form and energy and gives designers tools for designing sustainably. It also:
* Applies the latest passive energy and lighting design research
* Organizes information by architectural elements at three scales:
* building groups, individual buildings, and building parts
* Brings design strategies to life with examples and practical design tools
* Features:
* 109 analysis techniques and design strategies
* More than 750 illustrations, sizing graphs, and tables
* Both inch-pound and metric units

Dieses Buch ist ein Leitfaden für Architekten in Form von Faustregeln. Mit seiner Hilfe können Architekten zu Beginn des Planungsprozesses Energiefragen klären. Es gliedert sich in 3 Teile (Analysetechniken, Designstrategien und Entwürfe zur Ergänzung passiver Systeme) und erlaubt ein schnelles Fortschreiten von der Planungsidee bis zur Ausführung.

Sonne, Wind und Licht sind Naturkräfte, die die Form eines Gebäudes und auch den Energiefluß im Gebäude wesentlich beeinflussen. Diese Naturkräfte sind Variablen, die ein Architekt so früh wie möglich in den Planungsprozeß mit einbeziehen sollte. So sollte z.B. in heißen Klimaten das Tageslicht in einem Raum vorzugsweise maximiert und die entsprechende Sonneneinstrahlung minimiert werden.
