Description:Synergistic Design of Sustainable Built Environments introduces and illustrates a novel systems approach that fosters both design excellence and a leap toward a more biocentric (ecologically sustainable) design paradigm. The book provides a deeper understanding of the theories and principles of biocentric design and offers detailed descriptions of the synergistic design process of integrating theories and principles into practice. It also presents extensive thermal and visual built environment design strategies, along with qualitative and quantitative information that designers can use to generate feasible solutions in response to varying climate and occupant comfort.Features:Examines the principles and practices of synergistic design (a fusion of anthropocentric and biocentric) of sustainable built environments and examines how they relate to practical applications.Presents climatic data and its analysis along with sun path diagrams for numerous cities to aid in the design of sustainable built environments in multiple regional contexts.Includes numerous case studies of sustainable built environments in varying climatic zones.Explains how renewable energy (solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydro, fuel cells) can be successfully integrated in the built environment.This forward-thinking and highly illustrative book will be an invaluable reference to all those concerned with sustainable built environment and related architectural issues.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
