Integrated Analysis of Bioclimatic Building Design in France : Bioclimatic building in its environment

This book aims to introduce the impacts of the location and of French legislation on a building design. Through an integrated analysis of the building, guidelines will be drawn in order to obtain a high energy efficient bioclimatic building. This analysis is made in several stages. Energy consumption and efficiency are at the center of the study but economical and environmental aspects are studied too such as CO2 equivalent content and embodied energy.
