Este libro está dirigido específicamente a los arquitectos, a los estudiantes de arquitectura y a los promotores inmobiliarios, aunque puede ser de gran interés para un amplio espectro de lectores interesados en las energías renovables. Su objetivo que tanto los arquitectos como los promotores entiendan que la integración de la energía fotovotaica no es una obligación más, sino un nuevo producto constructivo, con sus reglas pero también con una gran flexibilidad de dimensiones y acabados, que puede convertirse en una herramienta de diseño muy valiosa para el resultado final del edificio. Esta novedosa tecnología se presenta aquí desde el punto de vista de su aplicación práctica a edificios reales, teniendo en cuenta las condiciones geográficas y las posibilidades constructivas de nuestro país. El planteamiento consiste en considerar los módulos fotovoltaicos desde un punto de vista tectónico, como un nuevo material de construcción, con sus exigencias y sus limitaciones, pero también con unas enormes posibilidades de innovación y eficacia. Las fotografías, las tablas y los gráficos se han preparado especialmente para la ocasión, y tienen en cuenta la latitud y las condiciones climatológicas de la Península Ibérica.

El libro propone un recorrido del exterior al interior: comienza por el emplazamiento y su entorno, sigue por las diversas envolventes del edificio y termina con el análisis de los aspectos ambientales de la iluminación, la calefacción y los sistemas de climatización. Un recorrido donde se exploran distintos temas transversales, como el ahorro de agua o materiales, la calidad ambiental interior o el uso de energías renovables. El conjunto ofrece una exploración completa y metódica de la arquitectura ecológica exponiendo los temas clave, un marco teórico básico y estrategias concretas para proyectar bajo el paradigma de la sostenibilidad. Las ilustraciones que detallan estos principios y discusiones, realizadas por el maestro Francis D. K. Ching, conforman una magnífica guía visual para el proyecto y la construcción de edificios ecológicos, y hacen de este libro un manual único e ineludible en el ámbito de la arquitectura y la construcción sostenibles.

This book provides timely, multidisciplinary cross-national comparison of the institutional and social processes through which renewable energy landscapes have emerged in Southern Europe. On the basis of case studies in these countries, it analyzes the way in which and the extent to which the development of renewable energies has affected landscape forms and whether or not it has contributed to a reformulation of landscape practices and values in these countries. Landscape is conceived broadly, as a material, social, political and historical process embedded into the local realm, going beyond aesthetic. The case studies analyze renewable energy landscapes in Southern Europe on different political and geographical scales and compare different types of renewable energy such as wind, hydro, solar and biomass power. The contributors are leading experts from Spain, France, Italy and Portugal. The book is intended for researchers, graduate students and professionals interested in geography, landscape and planning.

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is an innovative technology offering a variety of building envelope solutions, materials, and colours for virtually any building surface. These BIPV products generate on-site renewable electricity, turning buildings from energy consumers to producers. BIPV is expected to play an indispensable role in the transition towards decarbonisation and energy resilience of cities, effectively reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Lack of knowledge and guidance on designing BIPV systems has hindered this technology's widespread adoption and creative applications. As a remedy, this guidebook presents best practices and decision-making processes for efficient and resilient architecture. Featuring more than 50 annotated reference drawings—roofs, solar shadings, rainscreen façades, curtain walls and double skin façades—and 24 international BIPV case studies, the guidebook provides building professionals with the technical knowledge and inspiration to implement BIPV technology in the built environment.

The combined challenges of health, comfort, climate change and energy security cross the boundaries of traditional building disciplines. This authoritative collection, focusing mostly on energy and ventilation, provides the current and next generation of building engineering professionals with what they need to work closely with many disciplines to meet these challenges. A Handbook of Sustainable Building Engineering covers: how to design, engineer and monitor a building in a manner that minimises the emissions of greenhouse gases; how to adapt the environment, fabric and services of existing and new buildings to climate change; how to improve the environment in and around buildings to provide better health, comfort, security and productivity; and provides crucial expertise on monitoring the performance of buildings once they are occupied. The authors explain the principles behind built environment engineering, and offer practical guidance through international case studies.
