Summary:
Take a tour through twenty-five modern log homes reborn in the Arts & Crafts tradition, and witness how Craftsman style combines with the latest in log hybrid architecture to create a totally new and unique genre of building in "The Arts & Crafts Cabin". In this new title from log building expert Robbin Obomsawin, the rich Arts & Crafts heritage of the late 1800s that rebelled against mass-produced goods and the opulence of the Victorian era melds beautifully with the ideals of log home design and cabin living, where a simple life and appreciation for fine craftsmanship are held in the highest esteem. This new hybrid style incorporates the exquisite workmanship and sophistication that have become hallmarks of Arts & Crafts design with the warmth and comfort of log elements to create homes inspired by nature, creativity, and simple beauty. With one of the industry's premier photographers, Roger Wade, and the log industry's most prolific and respected author, Robbin Obomsawin, "The Arts & Crafts Cabin" uses spectacular colour photography, floor plans, and compelling historical text to showcase how the principles and philosophy of William Morris, Gustav Stickley, and Charles and Henry Greene combine with modern artistry to create some of the most exciting residential and recreational architecture being created today.

Summary:
Ce manuel du professionnel de l'énergie photovoltaïque expose aux concepteurs, installateurs et donneurs d'ordres impliqués dans ce type d'équipements, les outils et les méthodes pour élaborer et optimiser un cahier des charges, calculer, mettre en place et entretenir les composants nécessaires (panneaux solaires, batteries, régulateurs de charge, convertisseurs, etc.)afin de concevoir et mettre en œuvre des installations photovoltaïques adaptées à des besoins précis, en privilégiant toujours l'économie d'énergie et en gardant à l'esprit les possibilités et les limites de cette énergie novatrice. Il s'appuie pour cela sur une présentation détaillée des phénomènes physiques (conversion et stockage de l'énergie solaire), ainsi que des technologies disponibles et en développement. Cette troisième édition comporte de nombreuses mises à jour sur les données économiques et techniques, ainsi que des précisions sur les possibilités de raccordement au réseau des systèmes photovoltaïques. Cet ouvrage constitue un outil de travail pour les techniciens et ingénieurs impliqués dans l'emploi de l'électricité solaire (installateurs et utilisateurs) ainsi qu'aux professionnels de bureaux d'études, et sera également une référence utile aux élèves-ingénieurs et étudiants en génie électrique.

Summary:
Since 1992 and the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the concept of sustainability has been the focus of attention in the building industry and architecture. It requires the use of intelligent technology, innovative construction, ecological materials, and an environmental approach to energy supply. This development is especially urgent in the area of residential housing. People increasingly insist on a healthy indoor climate, natural moisture exchange, thermal comfort, and an absence of hazardous substances. The book provides extensive and technically detailed documentation of 25 sustainable residential structures in both the high-tech and low-tech domain. There is a considerable variety among the individual projects in terms of their size and the materials used. The examples are chosen from 18 different countries on five continents and come from both rural regions and urban areas.
