Synopses & Reviews
An important consideration for energy-efficient buildings is their primary energy requirements over the entire life cycle. How to determine this? What integrative factors influence the performance of a healthy and sustainable building? This, while it may be important for clients and architects to know, is frequently not very transparent. This book has been written to assist with clarifying target criteria and expanding horizons when it comes to ecological buildings. It is meant as a handbook and source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators, to provide them with pertinent information about their design, construction and operation: how to do this in the most energy-efficient and economical manner? Also, there is feedback and documentation about prominent buildings like the Hamburg Dockland or the Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg in Stuttgart. They provide excellent architectural examples for detailed construction and design solutions. Further, there are insightful interviews with architects and clients about many important buildings, which help turn this book into an integrated source of reference for sustainable architecture. - A Guideline for Planning, Construction and Operation of sustainable Buildings - A source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators - Innovative architectural examples with sustainable concepts and design

Synopsis
An essential aspect of an energy-efficient building is its demand of primary energy over the whole life cycle. How to calculate this demand and what kind of holistic factors affect the performance of a sustainable und healthy building is mostly not transparent for architects and owners.
This book should help to clarify the criteria and to expand the focus for ecological buildings. As a handbook and reference book it informs owners, architects and planers how to plan, build and operate a building in an energy-efficient and economic way.
The contents of this book are based on the extensive experience of the authors and their colleagues, in planning, construction and operation of such buildings. It documents, through examples, innovative architectural and technical solutions and also the target-oriented use of specialist tools for both planning and operation.
Synopsis
This book helps clients, architects, planners and building operators clarify the information needed to build green buildings in an energy-efficient and economical manner. It provides detailed architectural examples for construction and design solutions.
