How do we design in a climate emergency?

A new social and ecological prerogative demands appropriate material choices, a re-invention of
construction and evolving building programmes that look at lifecycle, embodied energy and energy use.

Highly illustrated with practical information and simple explanations for design ideas, this book is the perfect introduction to sustainable design for architecture students.

It presents key concepts in relation to the embodied energy of construction, material properties and environmental performance of buildings in an accessible way.

In explaining the principles and technologies by which we heat, cool, moderate and mitigate, it demystifies environmental design as a technical exercise and enables students to create sustainable buildings with impact.
