Features: This book is the culmination of long-term research by numerous internationally renowned architects and scientists in the field of climate architecture. It addresses the integration of climate as a fundamental parameter in the overall design process of architectural design in harmony with nature. The book is divided into two parts, discussing in detail the design methods of building climate, energy efficiency issues, design tools, and the development of new energy-efficient building materials from a climatic perspective using actual engineering design cases. It covers aspects such as building form, site planning, building envelope, daylighting, natural ventilation, solar energy utilization, applicable technologies for low-energy buildings, and computational analysis tools used in the design process. The book specifically provides climatic and environmental design data parameters for six representative climate zones worldwide, including fundamental data such as solar radiation, air humidity, air temperature, wind, and precipitation. This book is highly practical, rich in content, and well-documented, offering significant assistance to architects, environmental engineers, and students in related fields for architectural design. The engineering examples provided in the book also serve as excellent references and sources of inspiration for architectural design.
