Inhaltsangabe

Making the complexities of green architecture accessible to the design studio, The Green Studio Handbook remains a must-read for current and future architects. 

The heart of this book provides 43 comprehensive design strategies covering the building envelope, lighting, heating, cooling, energy and electricity, and water and waste – each with a description, key architectural issues, implementation considerations, and a step-by-step design procedure for integration early in the design process. Each design strategy has been thoroughly reviewed and updated to reflect the latest evidence-based guidance, best practices, and standards in consideration of all climatic zones.

In addition to more than 80 building examples provided throughout, ten in-depth case studies illustrate successful integration of numerous strategies.

All case studies are brand-new to this fourth edition and include a wide range of building types, from the USA, Colombia, Rwanda, Malaysia, Denmark, Bhutan, Canada, and Australia.

Envelope design strategies have been significantly revised and expanded to include new strategies on:

  • Foundation systems for the reduction of embodied carbon
  • Framing systems using mass-timber, bamboo, and other natural material-based systems
  • Low-complexity wall systems using "natural" elements such as earth, lime, straw, and hemp
  • High-complexity wall systems for enhanced thermal performance and strength
  • Additional roofing systems beyond green roofs
