This book presents 18 in-depth case studies of net zero energy buildings--low-energy building that generate as much energy as they consume over the course of a year--for a range of project types, sizes, and U.S. climate zones. Each case study describes the owner's goals, the design and construction process, design strategies, measurement and verification activities and results, and project costs.
Design-Tech by Jason Alread; Thomas Leslie; Robert Whitehead Design-Tech is an indispensable, holistic approach to architectural technology that shows you in hundreds of drawings and tables the why as well as the how of building science, providing you with a comprehensive overview.
