While the efficiency and sustainability offensive is in full swing in most sectors of the economy, in the construction sector it is still in its very beginnings – economically as well as ecologically. However, politicians and policymakers at the global, European, and national levels have begun to address this deficit and are seeking to correct it with legal requirements and laws like EnEV, building certifications, and competitions.

Following the proven model of earlier manuals in the series, the Energy Manual presents a comprehensive look at the constructional parameters of energy efficiency and sustainability. It offers an advance look at the legal regulations being planned by the EU, and – as a tool ready for immediate use by architects, engineers, and designers in their daily work – it points the way toward the efficient and sustainable construction and operation of buildings.

With its focus on the entire lifecycle of a building, it provides an integrated perspective – a necessary prerequisite for sustainable economic management.

The Materiality of buildings and constructions is an important aspect of architectural design. The approach to and use of materials is a fundamental building block of architectural training.Themes: Subjective effect of materials Haptic influences Use of materials Creative use of classical construction materials

Sustainable construction techniques bietet insbesondere Architekten eine fundierte Handhabe fur den okologisch optimierten Gebaudeentwurf und die Auswahl nachhaltiger Baukonstruktionen. Die Autoren geben einen Uberblick uber die wichtigsten Datenbanken und Gutezeichen fur Bauprodukte und zeigen, wie Okobilanzen erstellt werden. Sie identifizieren die Stellschrauben fur eine okologische Optimierung im Verlauf des Planungsprozesses und leisten Hilfestellung bei der Auswahl von Baumaterialien und -elementen. Das Buch versteht sich vor allem als Anleitung fur eigene Projekte, denn: Okologische Optimierung ist kontextabhangig. Abhangig von den Anforderungen an Nutzung, Dauerhaftigkeit, Schall- oder Brandschutz eines Gebaudes konnen ganz unterschiedliche Losungen die richtigen"e; sein. Die hiermit verbundenen Abwagungsprozesse illustrieren in diesem Buch funf ausfuhrliche Dokumentationen gebauter Objekte aus Europa und Nordamerika.

Während die Effizienz- und Nachhaltigkeitsoffensive in den meisten Wirtschaftsbereichen in vollem Gang ist, steht das Bauen damit noch ganz am Anfang – ökonomisch wie ökologisch. Die Politik auf globaler, europäischer und nationaler Ebene nimmt sich dieses Defizits inzwischen zunehmend an und versucht es durch rechtliche Anforderungen und Gesetze wie EnEV, Gebäudezertifizierungen und Wettbewerbe wettzumachen. Der Energie Atlas gibt in der bewährten Form der Atlanten eine umfassende Darstellung der konstruktiven Parameter von Energieeffizienz und Nachhaltigkeit wieder. Er nimmt die von der EU geplanten gesetzlichen Regulierungen vorweg und weist als unmittelbar verwendbare Arbeitshilfe für die tägliche Arbeit von Architekten, Ingenieuren und Designern den Weg zu effizientem und nachhaltigem Bauen und Betreiben von Gebäuden. Mit seiner Orientierung am gesamten Lebenszyklus eines Gebäudes leistet er eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung – eine unverzichtbare Voraussetzung für nachhaltiges Wirtschaften.
