It examines the tradition of climatic architecture in the past, offers general strategies for climatic design, and gives a detailed evaluation of several solar building elements. Finally it gives examples of recently designed climatic dwellings. The material is also available as a resource pack ideal for teaching purposes in schools or larger practices.
