Compare Circular Design for Zero Emission Architecture and Building Practice by Marwa Dabaieh, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Circular Design for Zero Emission Architecture and Building Practice: It is the Green Way or the Highwaypresents the main concepts of circular architecture and building design, focusing on emerging trends in zero-emission buildings, particularly zero- and minus- carbon practice. The book is structured around practical design solutions, including research-based passive solutions for extreme climates. It discusses passive and low carbon cooling and heating and natural ventilation, lifecycle assessment and life-cost analysis. The book presents examples and case studies from innovative low-tech to high-tech approaches, covering a wide spectrum of climate zones to show lessons learned and proof of concept. Vulnerable groups of people such as climate refugees are discussed, alongside how vernacular architecture can help introduce practical methods into low-carbon building practices. This book presents theoretical and practical coverage of circular design for zero emission architecture and building in relation to the global challenges of climate change and extreme weather. Presents key concepts of circular architecture and building designOffers practical design solutions, including solutions for extreme climatesGives practical solutions for design resilience, construction climate mitigation, adaptive behavior, building resilience and environmental impactConsiders vernacular, tradition and locale-based, climate response and adaptive approaches to sustainable building and designDiscusses the application of design after disasters and extreme climate eventsGives practical case studies of both low- and high-tech design solutions from across climate zones | Circular Design for Zero Emission Architecture and Building Practice by Marwa Dabaieh, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
