Heating or Cooling Your Building Naturally: Solar Architectural Solutions

For first-time builders, this book will increase awareness and assist in forming the right questions to their architects. For architects and engineers, it will provoke much-needed discussion, and hopefully result in more environmentally responsive solutions. For the general reader, it will provide relief from books that only focus on how a building looks, not how it responds to the environment.

This book is not about monumental architecture, but instead pertains to the multitude of smaller buildings which make up our built environment. These are the homes we live in, the schools for our children, doctors’ offices--the buildings where we spend our lives and that, in turn, affect our climate and the very air we breathe.
