Résumé:
The publication rethinks climate control – a key concern of the discipline of architecture – through the lens of city climate phenomena over the course of the 20th century. Based on a history of climate control on urban scales, it promotes the integration of indoors and outdoors in order to reduce environmental and thermal loads in cities. Just as heating and cooling practices inside the buildings are affecting the (urban) climate outdoors, urban heat islands are influencing the energy requirements and thermal conditions inside the buildings. While the first part of the book focuses on the interwar period in Europe, the publication’s second part considers examples from all over the globe, tracing the growing significance of ecological thinking for the design of urban environments.

Résumé:
À côté des maisons rurales ou urbaines qui appartiennent au patrimoine traditionnel, de nouvelles formes d’habitation sont apparues en Midi-Pyrénées au XXè siècle. À la ville comme à la campagne, ces maisons reflètent les courants sociaux et les choix esthétiques qui ont traversé cette époque : des demeures bourgeoises du début du siècle aux pavillons ouvriers, en passant par le développement massif de la maison individuelle et du prêt à habiter des dernières décennies. Les auteurs nous invitent à découvrir des maisons différentes le long d’itinéraires. Voilà l’occasion d’imaginer sa propre maison. Et de prendre conscience que l’on dessine un fragment des paysages et du patrimoine de demain. Les auteurs : Thomas Casel, Stéphane Couderc, Jean-François Gardène, Joël Laporte, Catherine Pinol, Claire Renault, et Corinne Triay.

Résumé:
In the very near future energy-efficient building will cease to be the exception but will be the rule. Whether insulating glazing, multifunctional facades or organic solar cells, there have been important new developments in the areas of solar thermal technology, photovoltaics, heating and ventilation technology which can make a significant contribution to the conservation of natural resources in sustainable building. They are suitable for a wide range of uses from large-scale urban-planning projects, to individual single family houses. This publication contains carefully selected articles which cover such essential topics as passive and active systems, the development of new insulating materials, and concepts for entire residential estates. They take into consideration all areas of solar building, providing information on planning methods and techniques which will enable the user to assess and apply the individual measures correctly. The essays are complemented by a selection of examples which demonstrate the technical and creative possibilities in realized projects. Solar energy can be successfully used in all kinds of projects – single family housing, office buildings, industrial buildings, and residential concepts, and this volume presents innovative solutions with full plans and large scale details, revealing the significance of an integral planning process.

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.

Résumé:
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 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.
