Résumé:
La chaire Eco-conception des ensembles bâtis et des infrastructures, créée par ParisTech en partenariat avec Vinci, a pour vocation de créer des outils de mesure et de simulation qui intègrent toutes les dimensions de l'éco-conception (émissions de gaz à effet de serre, impact sur la biodiversité, prélèvement sur les ressources, etc) pour devenir de vrais instruments d'aide à la décision, basés sur une approche scientifique, pour tous les acteurs de la ville (concepteurs, constructeurs et utilisateurs). Le présent ouvrage fait le point sur cinq années de travaux de la chaire, en présentant tout d'abord quelques bases méthodologiques concernant l'éco-conception, l'analyse de cycle de vie, les études d'impact, les méthodes pour l'aménagement et le transport.

The passive house standard is developing more and more into the international key currency of energy-efficient construction. Passive houses are being erected in almost all parts of the world and for all types of users. “Plus energy” buildings and entire zero-energy districts show that the passive house standard is also a sound basis for advanced efficiency strategies.

Résumé:
The passive house standard is developing more and more into the international key currency of energy-efficient construction. Passive houses are being erected in almost all parts of the world and for all types of users. “Plus energy” buildings and entire zero-energy districts show that the passive house standard is also a sound basis for advanced efficiency strategies. At the same time, many architects are unsure about the specifics: What do passive houses really deliver, and what errors need to be avoided during planning?

Résumé:
Tools for the Design Revolution critically examines the history and influences on current designs trends, giving practical guidelines and tools for creating sustainable design processes into the future. The 'tools' are strategies for sustainable design informed by the challenges of social, cultural and ecological change. Finding new design ideas in terms of concept and product is becoming more and more important. In the past, design was dictated by the professional minority within narrow confines. In the future, design will be an expression of the collective, finding expression and meaning within a shared identity, social trends and popular culture and terms like "cradle to cradle" or "open source design" refer to a changing understanding of the creative process.

N’est-ce pas dangereux d’introduire des notions de rationalité économique dans notre approche de la nature ? Ne risquons-nous pas de passer de la monétarisation de ce patrimoine à sa marchandisation ? Et ce débat est-il encore pertinent à une époque où nos rapports avec la nature ont clairement une composante économique ? Les terres, l’eau, les hectares de forêts, les(...)

Résumé:
N’est-ce pas dangereux d’introduire des notions de rationalité économique dans notre approche de la nature ? Ne risquons-nous pas de passer de la monétarisation de ce patrimoine à sa marchandisation ? Et ce débat est-il encore pertinent à une époque où nos rapports avec la nature ont clairement une composante économique ? Les terres, l’eau, les hectares de forêts, les mines, ont bel et bien un prix, même s’ils sont des biens communs. Ce livre clarifie les termes d’un débat capital, donne à comprendre la façon dont ces «prix» et ces «coûts» sont calculés, décrit les risques de dérives possibles, expose dans quels cas et sous quelles conditions il est pertinent ou non de donner un prix à la nature.

Architects today incorporate principles of sustainable design as a matter of necessity. But the challenge of unifying climate control and building functionality, of securing a managed environment within a natural setting--and combating the harsh forces of wind, water, and sun--presented a new set of obstacles to architects and engineers in the mid-twentieth(...)

Résumé:
Architects today incorporate principles of sustainable design as a matter of necessity. But the challenge of unifying climate control and building functionality, of securing a managed environment within a natural setting--and combating the harsh forces of wind, water, and sun--presented a new set of obstacles to architects and engineers in the mid-twentieth century. First published in 1963, Design with Climate was one of the most pioneering books in the field and remains an important reference for practitioners, teachers, and students, over fifty years later. In this book, Victor Olgyay explores the impact of climate on shelter design, identifying four distinct climatic regions and explaining the effect of each on orientation, air movement, site, and materials. He derives principles from biology, engineering, meteorology, and physics, and demonstrates how an analytical approach to climate management can merge into a harmonious and aesthetically sound design concept.

In this examination of the fate and future of water, Marq de Villiers takes on some of the biggest questions and shibboleths of the century. Who owns water? Is access to water a human right? Who is responsible for keeping water clean and ensuring it gets to the people who need it most? Is privatization of ownership and supply networks an evil or an extension of the public trust?
