Bioclimatic approaches in urban and building design This book explores the bioclimatic approach to building design. Constant innovations in the field are evident including the need to face climate changes and increase the local resilience at different scales (regional urban architectural). Differently from other contributions this book provides a definition of the bioclimatic design approach following a technological and performance driven vision. It includes one of the largest collection of research voices on the topic becoming also a critical reference work for bioclimatic theory. It is intended for architects engineers researchers and technicians who have professional and research interests in bioclimatic and in sustainable and technological design issues.
