Passive Design Strategies to Adapt to Heat Waves: Thermal Comfort, Energy
Efficiency, and Building Resilience offers a comprehensive guide to passive design
techniques tailored to various climate zones. Combining historical insights with
modern advancements, this book explores practical strategies for enhancing thermal
comfort, energy efficiency, and building resilience. Aimed at architects, engineers,
researchers, and students, it bridges the gap between theory and application, providing
real-world case studies and simulation methodologies. With a focus on reducing
energy consumption and supporting global sustainability goals, it delivers actionable
solutions for creating adaptive, energy-efficient buildings worldwide.
• Explores passive design techniques tailored to diverse climates, including
hot and dry, hot and humid, Mediterranean, temperate, and continental
regions.
• Integrates historical architecture with modern energy-efficient design, supported
by real-world case studies and simulation methodologies.
• Emphasizes reducing energy consumption, enhancing thermal comfort,
and building resilience to improve sustainability.
