ABSTRACT
This chapter will seek to demonstrate how the physical principles described in the previous chapter can be applied to the design process by means of a number of strategies. The relationship between the various aspects of the building’s performance is discussed. The emphasis is placed on low energy design strategies. Throughout the chapter, it is the intention to help the reader develop an appreciation for a holistic approach to design and an awareness of some of the environmental and technological issues that can be integrated into the design activity.
