Book excerpt: Oggi in tutto il mondo nel campo dell'architettura e dell'urbanistica si stanno studiando, sperimentando e realizzando sistemi basati sulle energie rinnovabili. Questo non è soltanto una risposta alla crisi energetica che coinvolge tutto il nostro pianeta ma anche un rinnovato senso etico dell'agire in forma economica e in armonia con l'ambiente, con l'adozione di soluzioni essenziali, prive di sprechi che vivano come esseri biologici stabilendo relazioni non di contrasto ma d'amicizia con l'ambiente. Questo atteggiamento si riallaccia a tradizioni plurimillenarie che dall'antica civiltà egizia trovano momenti straordinari in quella romana, islamica e nel rinascimento ma anche nei più umili insediamenti di un recente passato. Si cercava di realizzare il massimo comfort fisico e psicologico sfruttando le interazioni tra la forma architettonica e le dinamiche ambientali per ottenere condizioni ottimali di luminosità, riscaldamento, rinfrescamento, ombreggiamento. Il sole è ovviamente la massima fonte di energia rinnovabile da cui dipendono i fondamentali beni naturali: la luce, il calore, i moti dell'atmosfera, il clima. I più qualificati architetti di tutto il mondo stanno lavorando su questi temi che riattualizzano e amplificano attraverso nuove tecnologie, concetti e metodi, una grande tradizione troppo a lungo dimenticata. Per diffondere e approfondire queste idee, è stato lanciato un concorso internazionale tra gli studenti di tutte le Facoltà di Architettura d'Europa per la progettazione di un Edificio Solare. In ogni Università sono stati organizzati speciali seminari multidisciplinari sull'argomento e istituiti gruppi di docenti per seguire il lavoro degli studenti. Questo libro è una sintesi dei risultati ottenuti che sono oggetto anche di una mostra itinerante internazionale la cui prima tappa è a Firenze. Il concorso è stato ideato e diretto da quattro prestigiose istituzioni: le Facoltà di Architettura del Politecnico di Atene, dell'Università di Roma e di Stoccarda e inoltre dall'ENEA (Ente per le nuove Tecnologie, l'Energia e l'Ambiente) che ha fornito il supporto scientifico alle varie Scuole di Architettura europee e alla Giuria. Il progetto è stato finanziato e sponsorizzato dalla Comunità Europea. Today throughout the architecture and town-planning world systems based on renewable energies are being studied, experimented with and created. This is not merely a response to the energy crisis that has involved our whole planet, but it also reflects a renewed sense of ethics, one that leads us to want to act with economy, in harmony with the environment. Hence the desire to adopt essential solutions that are devoid of waste, that behave like biological beings, establishing relations not of conflict with the environment, but rather of friendship with it. This attitude connects back up with millennia-old traditions that, since the ancient Egyptian civilization, enjoyed extraordinary developments in the Roman, Islamic and Renaissance civilizations, but also in the humbler settlements of a recent past. In them it was sought to create the maximum physical and psychological comfort by exploiting the interactions between architectural form and environmental dynamics to obtain the best conditions of lighting, heating, cooling, shade. And of course the methods used were solar, for the sun is obviously the main source of renewable energy on which the fundamental natural goods depend: light, warmth, movements in the atmosphere, the climate. The most qualified architects throughout the world are working on these themes, which they are bringing up to date and extending using new technologies, concepts and methods: a great tradition that for too long had been forgotten. To disseminate these ideas and at the same time go more deeply into them an international competition was recently launched among students of all the Faculties of Architecture in Europe for the design of a Solar Building. In every university special multidisciplinary seminars were organized on the subjects, and teams of instructors were set up to follow the students' work. This book is a summary of the results achieved, they being the subject too of a traveling international exposition whose first stop will be in Florence. The competition was conceived and managed by four institutions of high prestige: the Faculties of Architecture of Athens Polytechnic and of the Universities of Rome and of Stuttgart, and ENEA (Agency for new technologies, energy and the environment), which provided scientific support to the various European schools of architecture and to the jury. The project was sponsored and financed by the European Community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for this report originated within the Solar Energy Pilot Study of the NATO Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society (CCMS). The following countries were formal members of that pilot study: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States. (Additional countries participated as observers.) A Passive Solar Applications Group was formed as one of the sub-projects of the pilot study. As part of the Group's collaborative activities, France offered to undertake a survey of European passive solar buildings. The results of the survey are contained in this document which covers buildings in Andorra, Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. An inquiry designed to identify newly constructed buildings required close cooperation between the authors, COMES, and both official organizations and concerned individuals in other European countries. The owners, builders, organizations, developers, architects, and researchers were asked to complete a questionnaire (reprinted in the appendix) and to supply additional documents, drawings, and cost figures that were used to establish data for each building.

Download or read book Charter for Solar Energy in Architecture and Urban Planning written by Thomas Herzog and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original edition of the "European Charter for Solar Energy in Architecture and Urban Planning" emerged in 1996 out of the 4th conference for Solar Energy and was published, in view of the worldwide discussion on climate change, new and in ten languages. The text, composed predominantly by Munich architect Thomas Herzog with many renowned architects as signatories, serves as a challenge, or respectively, a voluntary commitment to resource-saving building and to widespread utilisation of reusable energy. The fact that roughly half the CO2 emissions in the world today occur in the field of urban planning bear witness to the urgency of rethinking how cities should be built. This topic will be a focal point of the next World's Fair in 2010 in Shanghai where the European Charter will communicate important fundamentals for discussion not only for professional circles but also for the general public worldwide. AUTHOR: Thomas Herzog is one of the world's leading architects and is internationally renowned as a pioneer of ecological and energy conscious building and as one of the foremost innovators of building design. For Herzog the use of solar energy is a design principle, which stimulates his to develop innovative architectural forms *

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1082 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributors to this Conference have shown the wide range of active and passive solar heating systems which have been researched, installed and monitored in recent years throughout western Europe and elsewhere. Yet much remains to be done if solar heating is to reach its full potential. The Conference Committee hopes that this record of the proceedings will provide a basis for the further development of these systems. Many difficulties have been surmounted in arriving at today's position. The foundations of the growing confidence of architects and engineers are to be found in the concerted programmes of research and development mounted by ty,'o of the sponsors of the Conference the European Community and the International Energy Agency. Some of the more tangible products of these programmes have been reported here: component and system behaviour has been subjected to rigorous scientific study; new test facilities have been founded; test procedures devised; simulation methods developed and evaluated; design rules formulated and checked against measured performance. It has been apparent here that the willingness to exchange information and experiences, which has always been a feature of the solar energy scene, remains as strong as ever. A further information-sharing initiative was noted on the part of another sponsor, UNESCO - the setting-up of the European Cooperative Network on Solar Energy, involving countries from both eastern and western Europe.

Download or read book Green Solar Cities written by Peder Vejsig Pedersen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Green Solar Cities, EU-Concerto project focuses on the practical large scale implementation of solar energy technologies in combination with new build and retrofit low energy building in the cities of Copenhagen, with its city part Valby, in Denmark and Salzburg in Austria. This book aims to influence decision makers in European cities towards a similar approach to the Green Solar Cities project, in close cooperation with leading building component suppliers, energy companies and engaged builders also working with local city officials. This book will benefit those in a situation where many cities aim at a "Smart City" development, but without clear policies of how to achieve that in practice. In Denmark there are similar policies, with an overall aim to be CO2 neutral by year 2025 in the city of Copenhagen. However, there is still a lack of understanding concerning, how solar energy as the world’s number one energy source can play a major role here and how this can be combined with energy efficiency policies, use of district heating and combined heat and power. The general aim is to introduce the international "Active House" standard and work on "Active Roofs" of the future. The connection between solar energy and low energy building and energy renovation is aimed to be ensured by help of the "Active House" standard which has been developed in cooperation with a number of leading building component manufacturers in Europe.
Download or read book Solar Energy Applications in Houses written by F Jäger and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar Energy Applications in Houses: Performance and Economics in Europe provides information on the state of development of solar space and water heating technology and on the influence of climatic and economic factors on the attractiveness of solar systems. The book discusses the aspects of climate relevant to solar system and house designs; the impacts of the different European climates on the thermal design and heating requirements of individual houses; and the passive solar energy use in buildings. The text also describes the components of active solar energy systems; the performance of active solar energy systems; and the economics of solar space and water heating. The supporting activities for solar energy systems and other energy-saving technologies implemented by governments, companies, energy supply utilities, solar societies and the Commission of the European Communities are also considered. The book will be invaluable to potential buyers or owners of systems who need practical information on the technical and economic possibilities of domestic solar energy use in the various countries of the European Communities. The information is also important for those people in government, administration, industry and research institutions who are involved in assessing solar energy applications, in planning for the future energy supply, in developing support measures for the introduction of energy-saving methods and in marketing solar hardware.
