A new vision beyond 2020 -- A new paradigm for holistic design: Active House prototypes at Politecnico di Milano -- A reflection on Active House in warm climates -- nZEB and AH: a case study for residential buildings in Northern Italy -- Relevant case studies: a benchmark for future design.The book provides an overview of the Active House (AH) vision, intended as a building design method “beyond” the passive approach for buildings of the future that will be more and more connected, smart and innovative. It offers a novel philosophical design approach in which buildings, new or renovated, are in balance with natural, renewable energies and become “concentrators-distributors” of energies instead of being consumers of resources. The book is composed of five chapters, providing information on fundamental aspects of innovations toward resource-efficient buildings, as well as case studies presenting the concept in practice. It demonstrates that a completely new design approach is possible, and that a turning point has been reached. Lastly, it shows how the AH Alliance, along with designers, institutions, industries and academies, is bringing a breath of fresh air to the world of construction.PoliMI SpringerBriefs,2282-2577Sustainable architectureBuilding constructionSustainable developmentBuildings—Design and constructionBuildingConstructionEngineering, ArchitecturalEnergy efficiencySustainable Architecture/Green Buildingshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/122000Building Physics, HVAChttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23080Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Building Construction and Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012Energy Efficiencyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000Sustainable architecture.Building construction.Sustainable development.Buildings—Design and construction.Building.Construction.Engineering, Architectural.Energy efficiency.Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.Building Physics, HVAC.Sustainable Development.Building Construction and Design.Energy Efficiency.720.47Feifer Loneauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut956501Imperadori Marcoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autSalvalai Grazianoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBrambilla Ariannaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBrunone Federicaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910299593903321Active House: Smart Nearly Zero Energy Buildings2165787UNINA
