[.en] Solar energy is in focus worldwide. So is the role of cities and public governments for creating a more sustainable urban future. This volume highlights the role of solar energy and other solar related energy technologies for a low carbon and sustainable energy system, particularly for cities and city regions in the South. The articles refer to solar energy generation technologies, smart city planning concepts, as well as “passive” solar building design approaches. Thus, the volume takes a broad and applied approach by analysing projects and different solutions for a more efficient and solar oriented building design and technology implementation.

‘Energy and Sun’ takes a close look at the current possibilities of solar energy, which is safe, sustainable and low in carbon emissions, and particularly viable for urban regions in the Southern hemisphere. The essays in this volume are grouped into three sections: "Solar and Sustainable Energy Technologies" (with discussions on photovoltaic off-grid technologies in rural Andhra Pradesh, energy efficiency in irrigation, solar power plants for South Africa and the Joined Biogas, Charcoal and Erosion Prevention Project in Hyderabad, India); "Solutions For Buildings and Settlements" (including essays on housing design in the MENA region and the calculation of the energy performance of buildings and energy efficiency in Iranian cities); and "System Analytical and Integration Approaches" (with essays on solar and other options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, solar energy usage in Gauteng, South Africa and photovoltaic systems for social and economic empowerment in peri-urban and rural areas in South Africa).

It's already impossible to imagine energy-efficient construction without photovoltaics and solar thermal. Yet, the EU-wide introduction of low energy standards for new buildings stipulates that buildings must meet their energy needs in whole or in part from the sun by 2021 at the latest. The integration of solar systems into buildings is no longer just a technical matter, but also a structural and aesthetic challenge. This book provides the necessary expertise for this purpose. In addition to basic physics and technological developments in photovoltaics and solar thermal, the publication offers abundant advice from architects on how to successfully integrate solar systems into buildings. A number of chapters address the economical and ecological deployment of solar technology as well as issues of building laws and the preservation of listed buildings. Illustrated and expanded by numerous photos and detailed project documentation, "Building-Integrated Solar Technology" not only demonstrates the tremendous variety of construction tasks and integration possibilities, but also shows that self-sustaining buildings in terms of energy can also become a powerful architectural and cultural asset.

The first comprehensive study of the development of solar house design in the United States and around the world. The Solar House explores the development of solar residential architecture over the course of the twentieth century and up to the latest designs today. The solar house is often understood as a product of the 1970s, and few people are aware of the influential experimental solar houses which were constructed during the previous four decades, beginning with the work of masters of twentieth-century architecture such as Richard Neutra, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Paolo Soleri, Louis Kahn, Pietro Belluschi, Edward Durell Stone, and Harwell Hamilton Harris, and continuing with more recent innovations like the German Passivhaus movement and the Heliotrope, the first house to produce more energy than it consumed, and the U.S.-based Solar Decathlon, conceived as a living demonstration laboratory and recently expanded to include contests in Europe and China. Not only are these innovative projects the models for architects exploring environmentally conscious design today, they hold the imagination of the wider public, beginning with the idealism of the 1960s, the pragmatism that accompanied the energy crisis of the 1970s, and continuing into the twenty-first century with the demand for environmentally sustainable living. The first complete study of solar house design through the decades, this volume is a must-have resource for designers today.

La Conception bioclimatique est un guide indispensable avant d'entamer tout projet de construction ou de rénovation. En effet, la fin inéluctable de l'énergie bon marché, comme le réchauffement climatique dû à nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre nous engagent à relever le défi de l'architecture bioclimatique. Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les stratégies bioclimatiques actuelles pour obtenir des bâtiments à très faible consommation énergétique, en construction neuve comme en réhabilitation de l'ancien. Comment tirer parti du lieu, du climat et de l'énergie solaire grâce aux serres, murs capteurs, puits canadiens ; comment ventiler naturellement en récupérant la chaleur en hiver et la fraîcheur en été ; comment concevoir des parois isolées avec des matériaux écologiques, sains, et confortables en toutes saisons... Précis, richement documenté et écrit dans un langage accessible, cet ouvrage s'adresse aux particuliers mais aussi aux professionnels qui ont besoin de repères pour s'orienter dans ce domaine complexe et en rapide évolution.

OPAC millennium 

El Solar Decathlon es una competición para universidades organizada por el Departamento de Energía de Estados Unidos, que consiste en diseñar y construir un prototipo de vivienda energéticamente autosuficiente usando la energía solar como única fuente. En 2010 el concurso salió por primera vez de Estados Unidos.

Su edición europea, el Solar Decathlon Europe 2010 ( http://www.sdeurope.org ) ha sido organizada por el Ministerio de Vivienda del Gobierno de España, con el apoyo del Departamento de Energía estadounidense. En esta primera edición europea del concurso, que se celebró en Junio de 2010 en Madrid, fueron admitidos 20 proyectos, presentados en competencia por universidades de Estados Unidos, América Latina, Asia y Europa. Las diez pruebas de este “decathlon” por las que se valora y examina a los desarrollos de los prototipos están relacionadas con la producción sostenible de la energía necesaria en un hogar, la innovación del proyecto arquitectónico, la viabilidad industrial de la vivienda y su comunicación social. Teniendo en cuenta aspectos formativos y educativos, el proyecto plantea el papel de la innovación como motor del uso eficiente de la energía y la sostenibilidad medioambiental aplicada a los productos y espacios orientados a la sociedad. Los objetivos del concurso contemplan la sensibilización social, formación, transferencia y difusión de los conocimientos relativos a la eficiencia energética y la sostenibilidad aplicada a los productos y objetos de consumo, vivienda, entorno y espacios habitables.

La casa solar SMLhouse ( http://sdeurope.uch.ceu.es ) de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera de Valencia, destacó en 2010 especialmente en la prueba de Industrialización y Viabilidad de Mercado, en la que obtuvo el primer premio, y también en las de Arquitectura, tercer premio, y en Ingeniería y Construcción y en Innovación, con sendos cuartos premios. Sobresale también como la casa mejor clasificada en el Solar Decathlon Europe 2010 entre todas las universidades españolas participantes y la única valenciana. La vivienda fue además la más votada junto con la del IAAC por parte de los aproximadamente 190.000 visitantes a la competición, que se celebró en Madrid del 17 al 27 de junio.
