Summary:
The power consumption due to air-conditioning of buildings becomes particularly significant in an urban environment because the temperature of the air of dense urban districts is higher than in the suburbs. This phenomenon, as well as the increase in the standards of living and other factors namely heatwaves, contribute to the growth of the traditionally low demand for(...)

Summary:
The power consumption due to air-conditioning of buildings becomes particularly significant in an urban environment because the temperature of the air of dense urban districts is higher than in the suburbs. This phenomenon, as well as the increase in the standards of living and other factors namely heatwaves, contribute to the growth of the traditionally low demand for artificial air-conditioning in Europe. Case studies make it possible to measure the heat island effect (the accumulation of heat in cities), to characterize the additional electricity consumption of the buildings in an urban environment, and to give an overall picture of the practices, techniques and materials which can help to cool the cities. Priority is given to the practices which avoid the need for artificial air-conditioning by taking into account the environment, the use of vegetation and " cool " materials for the construction of pavements and buildings. For the remaining needs for air-conditioning, the present systems of air-conditioning can also become more energy efficient. Case studies conducted in Seville made it possible to measure the dispersion of the needs for air-conditioning around their average value for the various zones of the city. One of the case studies evaluates the benefit associated with the systematic plantation of trees and other plants in Athens. Another case study relates to Paris and estimates the importance of centralized solutions for air-conditioning in an urban environment. This book results from a study launched by the European Commission and is written by authors from three European countries very concerned by heatwaves and their effects downtown : Greece (Athens), Spain (Seville) and France (Paris). All of them are professors or researchers in very high level laboratories (Group Building Environmental Studies in Athens University, Energy Laboratory in Ecole des Mines de Paris and in Seville University).

Summary:
Un nombre croissant de citoyens et en particulier d'acteurs du bâtiment est sensible à la préservation de l'environnement. Ce livre a pour but d'informer sur les méthodes et les techniques permettant de faire évoluer les bonnes intentions, relayées par exemple par la démarche "HQE-haute qualité environnementale", vers une réelle performance environnementale. Le premier chapitre précise les problèmes environnementaux auxquels nous sommes confrontés de manière à définir ensuite des critères de qualité environnementale pertinents. Les méthodes proposées pour évaluer ces critères permettent d'établir un lien entre les décisions et les impacts environnementaux. Elles constituent ainsi une aide à la conception environnementale des bâtiments, depuis les premiers stades d'un projet (choix d'un site, programme, esquisse architecturale) jusqu'à la conception détaillée, la réalisation et la gestion des bâtiments. Un chapitre est consacré aux éco-techniques dans le domaine des économies d'énergie et d'eau, des énergies renouvelables, de la gestion des déchets, des matériaux à moindre impact, en incluant des aspects de confort et de santé. L'ouvrage se termine par la présentation d'exemples concrets et de réalisations. Il s'adresse aux maîtres d'ouvrages, architectes, bureaux d'études thermiques, entreprises, gestionnaires de bâtiments et à toute personne intéressée par la qualité environnementale de nos lieux de vie.

Leur habitat, qui sait allier confort et légèreté, sécurité et mobilité dans une recherche de beauté et d'harmonie avec la nature, est particulièrement présenté ici. Les yourtes d'Asie centrale et de Mongolie, ou les tipis d'Amérique du Nord permettent de multiples variations. Ils peuvent offrir un abri saisonnier le temps d'une immersion en pleine nature, devenir une annexe indépendante de la maison pour recevoir des amis ou pour soi-même, se transformer en lieux de rencontres et de créations artistiques. Nous avons laissé la parole à ceux qui ont ainsi adopté et adapté yourtes et tipis : fabricants, organisateurs de vacances ou de campements, artistes ou simples particuliers. Leur expérience et leurs témoignages en inciteront peut-être d'autres à se familiariser avec cet habitat et à comprendre l'âme nomade.

Summary:
Paul Hawken, the entrepreneur behind the Smith & Hawken gardening supplies empire, is no ordinary capitalist. Drawing as much on Baba Ram Dass and Vaclav Havel as he does on Peter Drucker and WalMart for his case studies, Hawken is on a one-man crusade to reform our economic system by demanding that First World businesses reduce their consumption of energy and resources by 80 percent in the next 50 years. As if that weren't enough, Hawken argues that business goals should be redefined to embrace such fuzzy categories as whether the work is aesthetically pleasing and the employees are having fun; this applies to corporate giants and mom-and-pop operations alike. He proposes a culture of business in which the real world, the natural world, is allowed to flourish as well, and in which the planet's needs are addressed. Wall Street may not be ready for Hawken's provocative brand of environmental awareness, but this fine book is full of captivating ideas.

L’architecture peut-elle encore faire sens, à l’heure où se multiplient les villes aseptisées, et où nous vivons toujours plus déconnectés des milieux qui nous accueillent ? Dans ce texte engagé et incarné, l’architecte et philosophe Mathias Rollot invite à redéfinir l’architecture à partir des idées du mouvement biorégionaliste. L’éthique biorégionaliste déplace nos manières de voir le monde et ouvre des pistes radicales, pour remettre l’architecture au service du vivant et de ses territoires, et d’une société plus juste. Entre architecture et philosophie, entre aménagement et animalisme, entre militantisme et recherche, ce texte connecte des mondes et ouvre de nombreuses pistes d’action.

Summary:
''Towards territorial transition'' presents new spatial strategies, concepts, and approaches for shaping large-scale and transnational developments in architecture and urban design towards decarbonization and ecological transition. The contributions investigate interactions between ecological and resource-related systems and landscapes. They also explore potential solutions to address and deal with the dramatic threats posed by climate change and the emerging social crisis. The book introduces six basic terms of territorial transition—territory, scale, transition, resource, platform, and uncertainty—and visualizes them with spatial strategies elaborated at the École nationale supérieure d’architecture Versailles and at Graz University of Technology. Moreover, it presents a selection of transnational projects of territorial transition, such as Luxembourg in Transition (Luxembourg / France), Grand Genève (Switzerland / France), and Top Noordrand (Belgium).
