Abstract
This book is specifically written to show the benefits and liabilities of existing energy-related alternatives on a whole-building level. Many case studies and examples are presented to summarize the abilities and impact on design of existing alternative means of environmental control and the methods that are being used to assess this problem. The intent is both to present the principles, advantages, and disadvantages of alternative solution types and design approaches and to comparatively assess the abilities of the alternatives to support wider, whole-building design concerns. A detailed, nontechnology-specific approach to the design of energy-responsive commercial buildings is presented. This framework is intended to provide a logical basis for considering energy issues in the design process and is formulated to encourage innovation and reinvention by the reader.
