The climate and biodiversity emergency is significantly influenced by buildings and construction, which account for around 40% of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Architects must now design responsibly and develop low-carbon, low-energy buildings to ensure a sustainable future. 101 Rules of Thumb provides a clear and concise guide to low-energy architecture, equipping designers with the fundamentals they need to minimize CO2 emissions, design for low-energy use, and work with, rather than against, the forces of nature. The book focuses on passive low-energy principles and covers all design fundamentals, from site and location to orientation and form. It is applicable worldwide in any climate region and serves as a valuable resource for designers looking to create sustainable buildings. The rules covered in the book include:
1. Site and location
2. Orientation and form
3. The low-energy building envelope
4. Carbon-free heating, cooling, and lighting
5. Passive low-energy principles
By following these rules, architects can design buildings that are not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective and energy-efficient. The book is filled with hand-drawn illustrations and practical tips that will help designers think outside the box and create innovative solutions for low-energy buildings. An extended narrative bibliography provides further study and exploration of the sources covered in the book. Overall, 101 Rules of Thumb is a must-read for architects, builders, and anyone interested in sustainable design and construction.
