Architecture & Sustainable Development, tome 2 - 27th International Conference on Passive and Low Energy Architecture (Broché)

The 27th PLEA conference PLEA2011 - Architecture and Sustainable Development marks the 30th anniversary of PLEA. The topics of the conference tackle a broad range well beyond the subject of energy. Following from the last PLEA conference that was held in Quebec in 2009, we want this celebratory PLEA 2011 in Louvain-la-Neuve to provide a special meeting ground for architects, engineers and researchers to debate the theme of sustainable architecture and the different aspects of sustainable development that range from the scale of the city to those of materials and components.
This book of Proceedings presents the latest thinking and research in the rapidly evolving world of architecture and sustainable development through 255 papers which were selected out of more than 750 abstracts that were proposed by authors coming from over 60 countries.
