Über dieses Buch

Dieses Buch untersucht Möglichkeiten, Energie zu sparen, indem man begrünte Dächer und Fassaden, Solaranlagen wie die gebäudeintegrierte Photovoltaik (BIPV) und thermische Sonnenkollektoren als Komponenten energieeffizienter Gebäudehüllen einsetzt. Der Autor verfolgt einen interdisziplinären / multidisziplinären Ansatz zu diesem Thema, der verschiedene wissenschaftliche Bereiche analysiert, die mit der Bauforschung verbunden sind - Nachhaltigkeit, nachhaltige Architektur, Energieeffizienz von Gebäuden und Gebäudehülle - während er sich anderen kollateralen Bereichen wie Geschichte, Archäologie, Botanik, Physik, Ingenieurwesen und Landschaftsarchitektur nähert. Alternative Hüllkomponenten für energieeffiziente Gebäude sind eine willkommene Ressource für Forscher, Studenten und Doktoranden in den Bereichen Energie, Baustoffe und erneuerbare Energien sowie Architekten, Ingenieure und Spezialisten in Branchen, die mit Bauprodukten in Zusammenhang stehen. Betrachtet die Auswirkungen von Gebäudehüllen auf den Energieverbrauch; bietet Lesern eine Einführung in die Prinzipien der Nachhaltigkeit; präsentiert passive und aktive Ansätze für den Einsatz von Solaranlagen.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
There is a lot of discussion about how to preserve the planet as, periodically, human society becomes aware of the fact that there is only one planet that is available for use, with a finite amount of resources.

Chapter 2. Principles of Sustainability: History and Evolution
Abstract
Sustainability, as it is understood today, is a goal for mankind to balance the needs of the planet (the biosphere) with the needs of human civilization and, on the other hand, to manage a balance within the human civilization. The term is usually linked to the Brundtland Report of 1987 – with the famous statement “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” – but preoccupations for sustainability have existed for centuries.
The chapter presents the history and evolution of the concept of sustainability.

Chapter 3. The Living Envelope of the Buildings: History and Evolution
Abstract
The more we built, the less nature we have and the more pollution and heat. At one point humans became aware that nature is necessary even for our species to survive. Therefore, slowly (too slowly) nature is brought back into the cities and into our lives. The contemporary vegetated envelope components that have such an important role to play in decreasing the urban heat island effect are in fact old systems – sometimes ancient – that have been periodically abandoned and rediscovered.
The chapter aims to resent the history and evolution of the vegetated building envelopes – the roofs and the facades – from antiquity to our days.

Chapter 4. The Sun – Building Partner of All Times; Passive and Active Approaches
Abstract
The periodical crises have positive consequences as well: they give a boost in applicative research or in the reevaluation of scientific discoveries and forgotten practices. The energy – followed by the economic – crisis of the 1970s put an emphasis on the rediscovery of the everlasting clean energy source that is the sun. New technologies that converted the energy of the sun in heat or electricity found a field of application in the construction industry while passive design was – in a way – rediscovered, as the fundamental principles were just in front of our eyes, for millennia.
The chapter presents passive and active building design systems, in a historic approach.
Ana-Maria Dabija
Chapter 5. Final Considerations
Abstract
For the past few decades, the general efforts to diminish the impact of depleting the resources of the planet found an echo in the building industry as well, which is, according to official data [1] “responsible for approximately 40% of energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU.”
