ARCHITECTURE AND ENERGY - BAUEN IN ZEITEN DES K...

The energy requirements of buildings are enormous  resulting in a significant proportion of
global CO2 emissions - both in the construction phase and during the building's use and
eventual demolition. In an era of energy transition and extreme weather phenomena  the question
"How do we build in a time of climate change?" becomes all the more urgent. This volume
presents international best-practice projects characterized by sustainable design and provide
forward-looking answers.    A sustainably built wood and concrete supermarket that includes a
roof farm  a kindergarten constructed from locally sourced recycled materials  the renovation
of an office building so that it can dispense with its air conditioning and ventilation
systems: in addition to the choice of materials and innovative operating concepts  the
possibilities for reducing emissions and energy requirements lie above all in thinking about
the entire life cycle of a building  including refurbishing rather than new construction when
possible. This volume brings together real-world examples and offers starting points for how to
approach construction today and in the future.
