Publication date: 25 June 2018
Publisher: Springer International Publishing AG


The book provides an in-depth exploration of the Active House (AH) vision, envisioned as a groundbreaking building design methodology that goes beyond the traditional passive approach for future connected, smart, and innovative buildings. It presents a novel philosophical design approach that aims to establish a harmonious balance between buildings and natural, renewable energies, transforming them into energy "concentrators-distributors" rather than mere resource consumers. Comprising five chapters, the book offers comprehensive insights into fundamental aspects of innovations towards resource-efficient buildings, accompanied by practical case studies showcasing the concept in action. It compellingly demonstrates that a complete paradigm shift in design is achievable, marking a significant turning point in the construction industry. Furthermore, the book showcases how the AH Alliance, in collaboration with designers, institutions, industries, and academies, is breathing new life into the world of construction, fostering a sustainable and forward-thinking approach to building design.
