A text from the International Energy Agency on sustainable architecture in warmer climates, this title uses the approach of bioclimatic housing to explore how sustainable architecture interacts with its environment. It explores global case studies from the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and Australasia, offering strategies and showing their practice.
With case studies from Iran, Malaysia, Australia, Japan, Sri Lanka and Italy, this is a truly international and authoritative work, prepared under the auspices of a 5-year International Energy Agency (IEA) project.
