Low Energy Architecture: A Vision for the Future
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of low energy design on architecture thirty years ago, when global concerns were focused on fossil fuel depletion rather than climate change as the primary motivator behind both energy conservation and the use of renewable.
