The Green Studio Handbook

Learn how to integrate green strategies into your building design. This practical handbook provides an essential introduction to green design strategies--helping you to understand how to save energy, water, and material resources. It provides the information required to make judgments about which strategy to use and includes tools to enable you to incorporate the chosen strategy during the early stages of design. Each of the forty-two selected environmental strategies includes a description of principle and concept, step-by-step procedures for integrating the strategy, annotated design tables and charts, key issues to be aware of when implementing the strategy, and references to further resources. Over 500 sketches and color photos illustrate concepts and applications. In this second edition, 10 new case studies are included to show successful implementation of green strategies and assessments of building performance. Site analysis and glazing strategies have been added and new tables and updated drawings simplify the application of concepts, preliminary system sizing, and integration of strategies. Using real building projects as a guide, designers will be able to make informed choices about the most competitive and effective way to design a green building. The Green Studio Handbook is a reference guide and source of inspiration for students in design studios and architects in professional practice. From a review of the first edition: "An excellent starting point for aspiring students. It is also a useful tool for the experienced architect looking to communicate key ideas and principles concisely." Alison G.

The Green Studio Handbook: Strategies for Decarbonization

Making the complexities of green architecture accessible to the design studio, The Green Studio Handbook remains a must-read for current and future architects. The heart of this book provides 43 comprehensive design strategies covering the building envelope, lighting, heating, cooling, energy & electricity, and water & waste - each with a description, key architectural issues, implementation considerations, and a step-by-step design procedure for integration early in the design process. Each design strategy has been thoroughly reviewed and updated to reflect the latest evidence-based guidance, best practices, and standards in consideration of all climatic zones. In addition to more than 80 building examples provided throughout, 10 in-depth case studies illustrate successful integration of numerous strategies. All case studies are brand-new to this fourth edition and include a wide range of building types, from the USA, Colombia, Rwanda, Malaysia, Denmark, Bhutan, Canada, and Australia. Envelope design strategies have been significantly revised and expanded to include new strategies on: <ul> <li>Foundation systems for the reduction of embodied carbon</li> <li>Framing systems using mass-timber, bamboo, and other natural material-based systems</li> <li>Low-complexity wall systems using 'natural' elements such as earth, lime, straw, and hemp</li> <li>High-complexity wall systems for enhanced thermal performance and strength</li> <li>Additional roofing systems beyond green roofs</li> </ul>

The Green Studio Handbook: Environmental Strategies for Schematic Design

The Green Studio Handbook remains an essential resource for design studios and professional practice. This extensive and user-friendly tool presents practical guidelines for the application of green strategies during the schematic design of buildings. Students and professionals can quickly get up to speed on system viability and sizing. Each of forty-three environmental strategies includes a brief description of principles and concepts, step-by-step guidance for integrating the strategy during the early stages of design, annotated tables and charts to assist with preliminary sizing, key issues to consider when implementing the strategy, and pointers to further resources. Ten new in-depth case studies illustrate diverse and successful green buildings integrated design projects and how the whole process comes together This third edition features updated tables and charts that will help to save energy, water, and material resources during the early stages of design. More than 500 sketches and full-color images illustrate how to successfully apply strategies. A glossary, a project index listing 105 buildings in 20 countries, updated tables and drawings, and I-P and SI units increase the usefulness of The Green Studio Handbook.
