Elevated Airflow Homes
درباره این ای-کتاب
The book highlights the potential of elevated structures to reduce reliance on air conditioning, offering a tangible solution to minimize buildings' environmental impact.
It investigates the physics of airflow around elevated structures, demonstrating how wind interacts with these designs to promote ventilation.
The book is divided into four parts, starting with the fundamentals of natural ventilation and the history of elevated buildings.
It then delves into airflow physics with case studies, followed by design guidelines for architects and builders.
The book culminates by discussing the broader implications on energy consumption and occupant well-being.
Supported by CFD simulations and on-site measurements, the book uniquely combines scientific analysis with practical design advice.
This book is a valuable resource for architects, designers, and homeowners interested in sustainable architecture and climate-responsive design.
It emphasizes integrating traditional building techniques with modern design principles to create innovative and energy-efficient homes.
By understanding airflow physics and passive design, readers can make informed decisions to enhance home comfort while reducing environmental impact.
