New ways of building
This volume is dedicated to the highly relevant topic of living and working in energy-efficient environments. It begins with a vision for the future of building: spaces designed and constructed with quality and responsibility should not only be reflected in excellent architectural solutions in terms of function and form, but also in their overall energy performance.
Architecture should also adopt a broader perspective by considering the so-called embodied energy associated with the construction, maintenance, and demolition of buildings. Equally important is the contribution that architecture can make toward reducing CO₂ emissions and promoting a more sustainable built environment.
