Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A rich compendium of sustainable building practices, don't think that if you live in Chicago this book can't be a great reference. Did you ever hear of thermal labyrinths? Read about them here. This is a reference book; it's packed with information and supporting charts, graphs and numbers. You won't be snuggling up in an easy chair to absorb its facts, but a sitdown with it for an hour will give you an idea of what is available for future use. (translation from the German, so the language is a shade exotic)

When looking for appropriate building solutions in tropical and subtropical regions, the chief aim is saving energy and reducing pollutant emissions as much as possible. Natural ventilation, passive and active use of solar energy, use of rainwater and also the energy potential of the soil are the key issues here. Traditional urban and building structures, described in an exemplary fashion by local architects for a wide variety of locations provide a stimulus for thinking about positive elements developed by master builders of the past as well, alongside all the technical possibilities that exist today.
