By rediscovering the most ancient of all building materials, earth, forward-thinking homebuilders can now create structures that set new standards for beauty, durability, and efficient use of natural resources. Rammed earth construction is a step forward into a sustainable future, when homes will combine pleasing aesthetics and intense practicality with a powerful sense of place. Rammed earth homes are built entirely on-site, using basic elements—earth, water, and a little cement. The solid masonry walls permit design flexibility while providing year-round comfort and minimal use of energy. The builder and resident of a rammed earth house will experience the deep satisfaction of creating permanence in a world dominated by the disposable.

Summary:
Air conditioning contributes significantly to the energy consumption of buildings in many countries. A promising possibility for energy reduction is the use of solar thermal energy in solar-assisted air conditioning systems. The main advantage of this technology is that cooling loads and solar gains occur at the same time, at least on a seasonal level. However, until(...)

Summary:
Air conditioning contributes significantly to the energy consumption of buildings in many countries. A promising possibility for energy reduction is the use of solar thermal energy in solar-assisted air conditioning systems. The main advantage of this technology is that cooling loads and solar gains occur at the same time, at least on a seasonal level. However, until today only a few systems have been installed world-wide and design and operation experiences are fairly poor. The goal of this handbook - meanwhile available in the 2nd edition - is to address this lack and to support the planner in the design of solar assisted air-conditioning systems, which use solar collectors as heat source.

Parr then examines key challenges to sustainability— waste disposal, disaster relief and environmental refugees, slum development, and poverty.

Summary:
L'Association des Maires de France, Archinov, l'Union sociale pour l'habitat et l'Union Nationale des Syndicats Français d'Architectes ont décidé d'unir leurs forces pour élaborer cet ouvrage collectif pédagogique. Nous avons choisi de montrer quelques réalisations exemplaires qui s'inscrivent dans des contextes variés, village, habitat pavillonnaire, faubourg ou centre-ville. Certaines revisitent avec bonheur les expérimentations d'habitat intermédiaire des années 1970, d'autres s'inspirent du bourg ancien, d'autres encore redonnent une nouvelle vie à un patrimoine délaissé. Toutes placent l'habitant au cœur d'une démarche citoyenne et l'envisagent dans toutes ses dimensions (résident, piéton, promeneur, cycliste, automobiliste). Toutes apportent un soin particulier au traitement des lieux publics, à la place de la voiture, aux espaces de transition entre le public et le privé, aux prolongements immédiats du logement. Toutes favorisent les échanges et la convivialité par des cheminements et des lieux de rencontre. Nous avons souhaité faire de cet ouvrage, un outil pratique favorisant le dialogue entre tous les acteurs du cadre de vie afin de répondre autant aux désirs des habitants qu'aux préoccupations environnementales.
