"Shortcuts provides an eclectic mix of at-a-glance guides to the minefield of regulations, new materials, and technologies that confront building designers today. Comprising hand-drawn sketches, technical drawings,and punchy articles. Each Shortcut is a quick, reliable, and incisive clarification of the welter of diverse technical guidance.This title provides shortcuts to the key information on the structure and fabric of buildings. It distils all the technical guidance you need on a particular topic - be it basement construction, flat roofing, or sustainable urban drainage solutions. It is an invaluable information source for a wide range of construction professionals - from architects and builders to non-specialist DIY enthusiasts. It summarizes all the relevant technical detail, guidelines, and regulations. It features technical sketches, cartoons, authoritative information, as well as off-beat humor. Book 2 deals with sustainability and practice. It contains information on passive ventilation, thermal comfort, green roots, fuel cells, damp-proof detailing, European harmonisation, drawing conventions and much more besides. It ranges from solar panels to dealing with glare, from oil fires to school fires, from party walls to part B."

"BREEAM is the leading environmental assessment method for buildings, setting the standard for best practice in sustainable design. Yet many professionals find BREEAM difficult to understand and often miss out on opportunities to optimise the credits that can be scored from a scheme."

"The aim of the book is to improve conventional building design in Southeast Europe. This is done with proposing conceptual guidelines for designing energy-efficient buildings for different geographic regions of Serbia. The focus is on climate-appropriate design of building envelopes. To adress sustainability, economical, environmental and social aspects are evaluated. The body is divided into three main chapters: traditional houses, the existing housing stock, and design patterns for future buildings. The conclusions and the methodology can be applied in the rest of Southeast Europe, since Serbia has a unique position in the middle of the region, covering different geographical areas that spread far out of Serbias borders."

"The comprehensively updated and expanded new edition of this no-nonsense student and practice primer equips the contemporary architect to deal with the profession's most important challenge: designing buildings for sustainability. Brian Edwards' book pulls together many of the disparate, complex strands of sustainability into one simple reference source."

"Although fossil fuels remain the primary global energy source, developing and expanding economies are creating an ever-widening gap between supply and demand. Efficient energy management offers a cost-effective opportunity for both industrialized and developing nations to limit the enormous financial and environmental costs associated with burning fossil fuels. The implication of photovoltaic systems in particular presents the potential for clean and sustainable electrical energy to be generated from an unrestricted source. Energy management in buildings using photovoltaics demonstrates how adopting ‘best practices’ for energy management and harvesting can reduce the need to construct new generating facilities.Illustrated with figures, tables and photos, Energy management in buildings using photovoltaics provides an introduction and step by step instructions on designing and planning photovoltaic systems and energy policies for both residential and industrial buildings. With particular focus on the example of provided by European industry, the creation of energy efficient systems is explored including chapters on : zero energy buildins, photovoltaics technology, and connection of the network.;Although fossil fuels remain the primary global energy source, developing and expanding economies are creating an ever-widening gap between supply and demand.
