It addresses the challenge of how to construct and renovate buildings so that they maintain desired performance even as the climate changes in future decades. The book is divided into six chapters that guide the reader from basic concepts to discussions on specific aspects of bioclimatic design, including: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy do we construct buildings and why do they matter?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere should we get started with bioclimatic design?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe opportunities and potential held by climate for the by bioclimatic architecture and design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow and why should we design bioclimatic buildings to accommodate future climatic conditions?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimatic changes and implications for the bioclimatic design of buildings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author presents an overview of effective bioclimatic design strategies that enable climate-adaptable buildings. He also addresses the problems of designing with climate, which are relevant for all types of building design--in particular, the implications for bioclimatic buildings that are intrinsically connected to the climate they were adapted to. The book combines representative examples, diagrams, and illustrations, and concludes each chapter by reviewing the most important findings and concepts discussed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book offers a valuable source of information for researchers and architectural engineers, who will gain essential insights into the process of using the available tools and data to design buildings that can respond to future climate challenges, as well as a general introduction into the field of bioclimatic building design. The book will also be of interest to graduate students and architects, as it approaches bioclimatic design with a particular focus on the analytical design process for such buildings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mitja Kosir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030184552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030184551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Mitja Kosir","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44598613278975,"sku":"9783030184551","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0b60beb-8719-4629-b4d9-eb306d8942cf.jpg?v=1702383483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/climate-adaptability-of-buildings-mitja-kosir-9783030184551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
