La Conception Bioclimatique des Maisons Confortables et Économes
Samuel Courgey, Jean-Pierre Oliva
Bioclimatic Design is an indispensable guide before starting any construction or renovation project. Indeed, the inevitable end of cheap energy, as well as global warming due to our greenhouse gas emissions, require us to meet the challenge of bioclimatic architecture. This book reviews current bioclimatic strategies for obtaining buildings with very low energy consumption, both in new construction and in the rehabilitation of old buildings. How to take advantage of the place, the climate and the solar energy thanks to greenhouses, collector walls, Canadian wells; how to ventilate naturally by recovering heat in winter and coolness in summer; how to design insulated walls with ecological, healthy and comfortablematerials in all seasons... Precise, richly documented and written in an accessible language, this book is intended for individuals but also for professionals who need reference points to orient themselves in this complex and rapidly changing field.
