Of late, impressive terms like these have found recognition in the vocabulary of contemporary architects and urban designers. With enough reason, of course, as sustainability in urban spaces increasingly becomes an imperative, particularly as urban habitats keep extending theif footprints on the earth. Sustainable architecture aims to create environment-friendly and energy efficient buildings. This entails actively harnessing renewable natural re sources like solar energy and utilizing materials [hat cause the least possible damage to the global commons- v;'ater, soil, forests, and air. Increased development of housing and commercial buildings has imposed immense pressure on our dwindling energy sources and other vital resources like water, thus. aggravating the already rampant process of environmental degradation. The Nimh Plan of the Government of India has taken a lead by stressing the development and improvement of urban areas as economically efficient, socially equitable, and environmentally sustainable entities. With the emphasis now on sustainable habitats as a key solution 1:0 grow ing urban concerns, which assume a global dimension, this book provides a very timely insight into the context, techniques, and benefits of energy efficient building. The examples provided here encapsulate various combina tions of response climatic conditions; improvized blends of traditional and (0 innovative building techniques; material selection; implememation of energy-efficiem building systems; and use of renewable energy systems as viable alternatives to powering buildings through conventional energy sources. This well-designed and informative book will serve the dual purpose of (1) educating laypersons about the multiple benefits of building in tune with nature and (2) reinvigorating the zeal of professional designers, builders, and planners to impart to their projects a bond with the earth far greater than any other aesthetic value.
