Sinossi

Passive Cooling Homes explores how to design houses that use natural processes to minimize the need for air conditioning, addressing rising energy costs and environmental concerns. This book examines sustainable design and climate-responsive design, showing how traditional architectural techniques, like natural ventilation and shading strategies, can be applied to modern homes. Discover how integrating these passive cooling techniques from the beginning of the design process can lead to significant energy savings and improved comfort.

 
The book begins by looking at historical examples of passive cooling methods used in different climates, providing a foundation for understanding contemporary applications. It progresses through fundamental principles of heat transfer and building physics, then delves into specific techniques such as evaporative cooling and thermal mass utilization. Case studies illustrate successful applications, demonstrating how these strategies can be cohesively integrated into architectural design to enhance building performance.

Gen X Pittsburgh - The Beehive...

David Rullo

Beginning in the early 1990s, Pittsburgh's South Side neighborhood began to transform from the post-industrial morass it had been suffering for the last few decades. Artists began to rent empty apartments, what were once shot-and-a-beer bars became hip dive bars and entrepreneurs found inexpensive real estate to follow their visions. It was in this landscape that the Beehive Coffeehouse began to attract a new 90s alternative crowd.
East Carson Street was soon home to not just coffeehouses but Slacker, Dee's Cafe, Culture Shop, Club Laga and the Lava Lounge. Across a bridge, in the university community of Oakland, The Upstage, Electric Banana and another Beehive catered to the new youth culture. Cappuccinos, thrift shop culture, grunge music, local alternative bands, artists, writers and creative denizens of all stripes would soon enter the city's collective conscious. The South Side Beehive though was where the night often began, and weekends ended.
