The environmental characteristics of architecture: a guide to sustainable design in Trentino

Sergio Los & Natasha F. Pulitzer. Autonomous Province of Trento. Energy Service, 1999

Description

The primary reason and institutional objective behind the book is the interest in the rational use of energy in construction and during the life of the building, as well as the saving of non-renewable resources. "Architecture and town planning can no longer be neutral with respect to the environmental issues that arise in cities and the territory. The book deals with the interest and importance of urban planning and environmental issues that must now be considered together with energy aspects; with the activities of the Autonomous Province of Trento aimed at constant attention to energy saving and the use of renewable sources; with the usefulness of paying attention to vernacular architecture from which it is possible to acquire useful knowledge for correctly designing new buildings from an energy-environmental point of view by "reading" the traditional ones that characterise the various places in Trentino and the different historical, morphological and climatic situations.
