Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. ( not only ) For Europan readers ..By Denny IrawanAs an introduction book; this book is success to aim the mission. Part one contain aspects to get an environmental design; and the author seems to play tactically. Mention the aspects; then give an explanation briefly in a proportional matter ! There will be no long tiring explanation here; and its disccusion is good enough to open our mind. Its an introduction book; isnt it ?One IMPORTANT thing. This book is written by UK engineeriering consultant. Means that most of resources data given here is only valid for Europa / northern hemisphere region. For example;"...building orientation should face south to take advantage of the suns energy..."( ch. 4 ). Heating aspects; insulation; heat losses and many cold climate zone aspects can also found.On my opinion; despite of Europan point of view; this book is still useful but we must have few knowledge about the aspect to modify the contents for our own purposes. Part two this book contains case studies; all is Europan building. Interesting topic; you will find aspects from part one is aplied here.After all; its good introduction book to start learn about environmental design; with the best using for Europan / northern hemisphere region readers.
