Product Description

Product Description
Explains the principles behind Zero (fossil) Energy Development, and includes methods and case studies to illustrate the application of ZED standards in construction.

From the Back Cover

Every aspect of our contemporary society runs on cheap fossil fuel; from agriculture and food production to transport and buildings. This stockpile of energy, left intact by past civilisations, is being squandered. And fossil fuels are not the only resources being consumed at unsustainable levels – if everyone in the world lived like the average UK resident we would need three planets to support global consumption.   

The problems caused by over-consumption are not just environmental. Millions worldwide are living in fear and squalor as a direct result of climate change. For every person on the planet who chooses a high carbon lifestyle, ten others will suffer.

Though few now doubt the severity of the problems faced by humanity there is still resistance from businesses, developers, planners, architects and government when it comes to making the step changes necessary to make our lifestyles sustainable.

Based on the experience gained from their involvement in the pioneering Beddington Zero Energy Development (or BedZED) in London, and subsequent innovative schemes, The ZEDbook authors present a bold, coherent and refreshing vision of a low carbon future.

In three comprehensive sections, The ZEDbook leads the reader from basic ZEDliving principles through building physics and architectural design details to a carefully selected array of informative case studies.

The ZEDbook is a must-have purchase for anyone wanting to make communities and the built environment more sustainable.

5.0 out of 5 stars ZEDbook wins RIBA President's Award for Research 2008, 9 Nov 2008
The RIBA judges' citation for the winner of the Outstanding Professional Practice-located Research follows:
This award acknowledges the considerable contribution of Bill Dunster and the architectural practice ZEDFactory in drawing to the attention of practitioners the challenges of "zero energy" development. Theirs is a serious body of work well researched and documented, with the ideas having been refined constantly over the years. Their approach covers both building component and design output. As a summative product of this research The ZEDbook records about 10 years of development from "Bedzed" onwards looking at the building physics and the component elements of a range of projects. The ZEDbook is clearly written, well illustrated and referenced and allows the reader to dip in to specific subject areas. The book presents a body of work that has served the profession and the cause of sustainability extremely well.
