About the Book

This book presents an innovative approach to sustainable urban design through the lens of low carbon-oriented design. It offers a comprehensive framework integrating four key paradigms: Design with Nature, Design with Human, Design with Clean Energy, and Design with Climate. By synthesizing ecological principles, human-centric approaches, renewable energy solutions, and climate-responsive strategies, the book provides practical manual for creating energy-efficient, environmentally harmonious buildings and cities. The book stands out for its holistic perspective, bridging theoretical concepts with real-world applications through diverse case studies, particularly from rapidly developing Asian contexts. It addresses pressing challenges of climate change, resource depletion, and urban livability by offering cutting-edge strategies for reducing carbon footprints in the built environment.  

Table of Contents:
Design with Nature.- Renewable Energy.- Climate Responsive Design.- Human Oriented Design.
