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(...)

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.

Monu 11: clean urbanism
$25.00
(disponible sur commande)
Résumé:
Clean urbanism is a broad term that covers a range of ideas, yet clearly involves a minimalisation of such inputs as energy, water and food and equally of waste outputs found in heat, CO2 and water pollution. MONU presents a collection of essays and research based around this subject that features pieces from 18 authors. Highlights include: Randall Teal on the issue on(...)

Clean urbanism is a broad term that covers a range of ideas, yet clearly involves a minimalisation of such inputs as energy, water and food and equally of waste outputs found in heat, CO2 and water pollution. MONU presents a collection of essays and research based around this subject that features pieces from 18 authors. Highlights include: Randall Teal on the issue on the sustainability of a growing world population, Gerd Hauser on the implementation of the EU Directive on Energy Performance Buildings, Nathalie Frankowski and Cruz Garcia (WAI) on the technical possibility of energy self-sufficient cities and Rogier van de Berg on triggering initiative and cooperation between city dwellers.

Résumé:
The New York based architect Lebbeus Woods – founder of the Research Institute for Experimental Architecture (RIEA) – concerns himself intensively with architectural theory and experimental architecture. His approach is free from the pressures of specific purpose built projects and rather tends to develop visionary projects which integrate research, philosophy, and art. The subject of his exhibition entitled “System Wien” which he developed in collaboration with Christoph a. Kumpusch is the urban structure of the city of Vienna which he plans to interfere in with specific architectural interventions. This publication - published for the exhibition of the same name in the MAK Vienna - documents the various works comprising the "System Wien" project. It develops an idea that the making of architectuere can be understood as the organization of energy. The project explores how energy relations in public and private city spaces might be represented tectonically in the form of drawings and installations; how existing energy elations in the city can be changed by the input tectonically in the form of drawings and installations; and hoe the future of the city need not depend for creative energy input on the development of building projects requiring large capital investments and institutional approval, but rather on the redistribution of energy at the human scale of the street and the room.

Résumé:
Transmaterial 3 provides a broad synopsis of the state of technological advances in materials today with a special emphasis on new developments in the field of biopolymers and various agriculturally derived products; biomimetic products, systems, and processes that seek to emulate natural examples including low-embodied-energy and biochemically manufactured products; 'grown' materials; nanoscale marvels; renewable energy technologies; 'second-life' materials derived from repurposed waste; and responsive, interactive, and transformational digital interfaces that harness pervasive communication networks and are powered by low-energy illumination sources. An excellent ideas generator, Transmaterial 3 is an indispensable tool for any architect or designer looking to keep up with the current trends in the field of materials.

Résumé:
This publication begins at a primary school age. It aims to give children an awareness of the dual issues of energy and environmental protection and how they are closely related to architecture and construction. Because even today, the construction and maintenance of buildings comprises around 40% of total energy consumption. It contributes to an optimistic vision of the future while raising society's awareness for responsible environmental behaviour already from a young age.
