Abstract: |
Bioclimatic architecture refers to the design approach that embraces the principles of sustainability, but seeks broader outcomes beyond optimising energy use and minimising the environmental footprint of buildings: bioclimatic design harmoniously integrates a building into their natural environment, adapting it to the climatic conditions of the given area, while simultaneously satisfying human comfort needs. The aim of bioclimatic architecture is the design (or redesign) of buildings and outdoor spaces in order to achieve energy savings and in the meantime reverse climate change, address the problem of the gradual depletion of natural resources, reduce all kinds of environmental pollution from human activity and improve individual health, improve the natural environment that has been degraded using fossil fuels, and decrease oil dependence and avoid energy crisis situations. Thus, with the help of suitable materials, the introduction of new technologies, and Renewable Energy Sources (solar energy, shallow geothermal energy, wind energy), conditions of thermal comfort (heating, cooling, natural lighting) can be improved with minimal or even without contribution from mechanical means, aiming to achieve energy savings while reducing pollution of the atmospheric environment.
