Bioclimatic Housing covers creative, vernacular architecture to present both the theory and practice of innovative, low-energy architecture. It interweaves the themes of social progress, technological fixes and industry transformation within a discussion of global and country trends, climate types, solutions and technologies. Prepared under the auspices of a five-year International Energy Agency (IEA) project, this is a truly international and authoritative work.

‘Well chosen and attractively illustrated examples of housing projects make the principles readily understandable for the reader ... stimulating reading for architects and clients of buildings.’ Robert Hastings
