Insideout: Design Procedures for Passive Environmental Technologies, 2nd Edition
Book Description Using a problem-solving approach, it presents a broad view of building in the environment by investigating problems at various scales--from the context of culture and climate to the site, the building cluster, the building, the construction zone, individual components--and layering the design process from analysis to conceptual, schematic, developmental, systems integration and evaluation. Concentrates on providing a set of procedures which connect subjects covered in Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings and includes a multitude of line drawings to illustrate these processes.

Reader Reviews I intentionally use the word "text", because this is one of the detailed (!) classic GREEN design source books, still of immense value, though a new edition would be greatly appreciated. Much like earlier "seed" books underlying most others - the Olgyay brothers' books, for example - all architects and interested others seriously engaged in professional GREEN building design should have this book to guide and support their efforts. InsideOut (IO) is used in conjunction with and linked to one the architect's standard bibles - Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings (MEEB), 8th ed (IO is easily transposed for working with the current edition of MEEB). Covers, organizes, coordinates and details all GREEN design itinerary and technical analysis procedures needing attention in the design process, from site to completed building and everything in between - thermal, lighting, acoustics,water and waste, and all related systems and equipment; plus, valuable appendices that provide/guide with necessary backup info. IO is especially valuable to a complete, serious and detailed GREEN design effort. With experience from the pre-70's to the present, the author team has many, many combined and respected years in GREEN site/building planning and design, including design tools (especially computer programs) and concept development.
