AuthorsMcLean, W. and Silver, P.
Abstract

A new social and ecological prerogative demands appropriate material choices, a re-invention of construction, and evolving building programmes that look at lifecycle, energy use and relative sustainability. The book is designed to inspire and inform students about a wide-range of sustainable design and technological strategies and approaches. The book will introduce students to key concepts in relation to the embodied energy of construction, material properties, the environmental performance of buildings and how to ‘passively’ control building climate for human comfort and minimise energy consumption. The book aims to de-mystify ‘environmental design’ as a technical exercise and encourage students to understand the principles by which we heat, cool, moderate and mitigate. The challenge of climate change is the challenge of all good design, where resource, efficiency, ingenuity and appropriateness should be explored in equal measure and to best effect.
