The Climatic Dwelling:
An introduction to climate-responsive residential architecture

by Eoin O’Cofaigh;  John A. Olley;  J. Owen Lewis

This book provides an introductory study of traditional and modern European architecture that embraces passive solar and natural cooling strategies. The bulk of the book makes effective use of traditional European building forms to illustrate principles of passive solar design, daylighting, and natural cooling; it concludes with a series of contemporary case studies from all parts of Europe that explore the challenges of building climatically in a modern context.
