OverviewBoth professionals and students are under increasing pressure to achieve high performance building design in the construction and operation of residential buildings. This book responds to this demand by offering a complete guide which: features solar powered homes and the technologies they have employed in attaining net zero energy presents detailed case studies of innovative homes which have incorporated low energy design solutions, new materials, alternative building assemblies, digital fabrication, integrated engineering systems and operational controls introduces the use of integrated design principles in residential construction and covers the challenges and opportunities which come from this approach. Divided into four parts the book looks at the case studies, the architecture of the cases, the engineering of the cases and the integrated design approaches used, providing the reader with a thorough overview of all aspects which they need to know. With insights from guest authors who contribute their expertise in specific areas, this book provides a well-rounded and multi-faceted approach. This book is essential reading for students and professionals in design, architecture, engineering (civil, mechanical and electrical), construction and energy management.

Modular Building; Three Scales/Three StrategiesReviewsTo prevent the worst of climate change, high-performance buildings are now a necessity, and this book is a great resource to make such buildings a reality. It clearly recognizes that high performance is not just a technical challenge, but also requires an understanding of people's behaviors and the complexity of social arrangements. Norbert Lechner, Auburn University, USA From design and analysis, to project construction and delivery, to new materials and techniques, the book carefully collects top authors, content, and case studies to help explicate what the editor describes as energy-free architectural design . As well illustrated as it is written, this book convincingly merges the range of historical, technical, theoretical, and architectural obligations that presuppose our understanding of higher-performance buildings. Kiel Moe, Harvard Graduate School of Design, USA This book insightfully spans some difficult gaps that have hindered our ecological aspirations in residential design: between the warm sense of home and the cold hard benchmarks of performance; from aesthetic to ethical considerations, between the hardware and the integrated systems; between available technology and material construction; and between simulation models and real-world cases Leonard Bachman, Gerald D.
