{"product_id":"9783777445168","title":"Architecture and Energy (Bilingual edition) : Building in the age of climate change by Werner Sobek","description":"The?energy requirements of buildings are enormous, resulting in a significant proportion of global CO2 emissions - both in the construction phase and during the building's use and eventual demolition. In an era of energy transition and extreme weather phenomena, the question \"How do we build in a time of climate change?\" becomes all the more urgent. This volume presents international best-practice projects characterized by sustainable design and provide forward-looking answers.  A sustainably built wood and concrete supermarket that includes a roof farm; a kindergarten constructed from locally sourced recycled materials; the renovation of an office building so that it can dispense with its air conditioning and ventilation systems: in addition to the choice of materials and innovative operating concepts, the possibilities for reducing emissions and energy requirements lie above all in thinking about the entire life cycle of a building, including refurbishing rather than new construction when possible. This volume brings together real-world examples and offers starting points for how to approach construction today and in the future.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368288924021,"sku":"9783777445168","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783777445168.jpg?v=1763549038","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9783777445168","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
