Bioclimatic Architecture, much like its predecessor Acoustics for Architects, is designed to support coursework throughout the academic cycle. Its content was developed not only with the syllabi of the César Vallejo University and most architecture schools in mind, but also by incorporating the most up-to-date national and international sources. The book covers topics such as sustainability, solar movement, solar charts, vernacular architecture, wind, thermal performance, and natural lighting—a subject rarely addressed in the classroom. Furthermore, the book includes downloadable dynamic tables that allow for the quick and easy creation of solar charts, bioclimatic charts, and solid waste calculations.
