In this book, Victor Olgyay explores the impact of climate on shelter design, identifying four distinct climatic regions and explaining the effect of each on orientation, air movement, site, and materials. He derives principles from biology, engineering, meteorology, and physics, and demonstrates how an analytical approach to cliamte management can merge into a harmonious and humanistic design approach. This updated edition contains four new essays that provide unique insights on issues of cliamte design, showing how Olgyay's concepts work in contemporary practice. Donlyn Lyndon, Victor W. Olgyay, John Reynolds, and Ken Yeang explore bioclimatic design, eco design, and rational regionalism, while paying homage to Olgyay's impressive groundwork and contributions to the field of architecture"--Back cover General introduction -- The bioclimatic approach -- Regional evaluation -- Climatic elements -- Site selection -- Sol-air orientation -- Solar control -- Environment and building forms -- Wind effects and air flow patterns -- Thermal effects of materials -- Heliothermic planning -- Examples in four regions Victor Olgyay ; some chapters based on cooperative research with Aladar Olgyay ; with new essays by Donlyn Lyndon, Victor W.
