Richard Taylor, AIA asked:


Good design takes its form in the part of the forces which act on it. Climate and the météo is two of the most important décideurs of form (it n& #39; there does not have igloos in the tropics), since the houses owe être conçus and built façon à to push back the néfastes effects world oà ¹ we live Mère Nature is always d& #39; to test d& #39; to tear off à our bâtiments. & lt; br/& WP; climatic and mA©tA©orologic également the comfort of our houses, and we influence to seek means to maintain température and of l& #39; humidité of our houses in levels tolérables. Most of l& #39; effort of design is consacré to the maintenance of the heat or maintenance of heat out, according to the climate and the season. & lt; br/& WP; & lt; strong& WP; This Old House & lt; /strong& WP; à € & lt; br/& WP; time in l& #39; history of l& #39; Amérique, the shapes of our houses have réfléchi - à degrés more or less - our ingéniosité à to make our houses & quot; climate more comfortable intA©rior. & lt; Br/& WP; Settlers & lt; br/& WP; in Deep South deep porches builds around their weak in bandoulière houses à l& #39; shade of the dureté of the sun and créer one to réservoir d& #39; fresher air which could être tirés in the house. & lt; br/& WP; New England of the houses built with small fenêtres for the protéger against the winds d& #39; winter and à to hold à more heat than possible. meadow And houses, often built gerbés grass, étaient à moitié enterré in ground à the même température and balançoires for the protéger of the fréquence of the storms violent one which sweep the plain each été. & lt; br/& WP; Simple and effective of the stratégies as those étaient nécessaires because the fuel for the heating of the houses is limitée. We have créé houses conservées of resources, us L & amp; rsquo T knowledge how not to do it. & lt; br/& WP; That has changé with l& #39; ère of l& #39; électricité good marché and abundant and the natural gas for the domestic heating, and with l& #39; introduction of the première of the air-conditioners for the houses privées in 1928. Suddenly, the houses n& #39; do not need to réagir à their environment; all the house can so hot or cold être easily as you wish it by using means mA©canic, whatever the time outside. Small pensée has été donnée à stratégies of conservation of l& #39; énergie jusqu& #39; with the début of the années 1970, when l& #39; énergie good marché, we had taken for asset become très teux coÔ, and the climate, ignoramus builds us houses since décennies became chère à heat and to let cool. & lt; br/& WP; & lt; strong& WP; That 70& #39; S Show & lt; /strong& WP; & lt; br/& WP; But then a thing cool très. Architects and manufacturers à through the country have commencé à to start again the & quot; loss of l& #39; art& quot; design of houses which have répondu with the climatic conditions and mA©tA©orologic. Ancient idées like the thermal ground-mass and of l& #39; hébergement have été utilisés à new. Passive New of cooling of the stratégies and the single idées, as the wall Trombe have été inventés. & lt; br/& WP; And more intéressant, houses by using techniques à low fuel consumption d& #39; énergie took news, exciting forms. Suddenly, there was another thing à côté of l& #39; Old world, it has inspiré the design. It has été a pleasure of full-time of l& #39; invention and d& #39; expA©rimentation. & lt; br/& WP; But this époque has été of short durée. About the middle of the années 1980, carburizing it était good marché and still l& #39; efficacité single énergétique of design of house, but all has été oublié. & lt; br/& WP; & lt; strong& WP; Future Back To The & lt; /strong& WP; Thus, it & lt; br/& WP; & amp; rsquo; S n& #39; is thus not surprising that we are aujourd& #39; today to have bouclé the loop, à the rise of the prices of l& #39; énergie and a version révisée of l& #39; intérêt in the house of l& #39; efficacité énergétique. C& #39; is an essential prA©occupation à époque oà ¹ certain études show bâtiments résidentiels consume jusqu& #39; à 21% of the nation of l& #39; énergie. & lt; br/& WP; Aujourd& #39; today, the house of l& #39; énergie of the effective stratégies are différents of this qu& #39; they étaient it ya 30 years, however. Aujourd& #39; today, l& #39; stress is laid on technology plutôt that on the design. The new matériaux ones are techniques have été développés which make insensitive à in addition  residence climate drawings (and there is much of it) of better intendants of l& #39; énergie of which they have need to maintain the comfort of l& #39; man. & lt; br/& WP; Technical solutions can être teux coÔ, because they require that the communes to carry out the matériaux ones of construction à a level supA©rior. Windows have & quot; high-tech& quot; of glass with revêtement à weak émissivité, gas argon spaces, and of a à three sheets of glazing. Systèmes of heating are in progress d& #39; exécution with the best output, and May are équipées of programmable and led thermostats isolés. the solutions of this kind and not to preserve a l& #39; énergie are of éléments important in all the house, but technology béquille does not owe être too appuyé on. We have également d&amp need; #39; a better design. & lt; br/& WP; & lt; br/& WP; & lt; strong& WP; Designer& #39; S Challenge & lt; /strong& WP; & lt; br/& WP; That if, instead of dépenser of the hundreds of dollars supplémentaires on the glazings of high technology to maintain the heat of the sun, we have more care situé à our fenêtres for éviter the direct lumière of the sun, initially? That to make if we have utilisé of éléments of the house it-même à l& #39; shade fenêtres of heat and radiation UV? & lt; br/& WP; Let us suppose that l& #39; one has to better benefit from the ground & amp; rsquo; S température relatively stable à the stabilization of température in our houses, plutôt that d& #39; to expose each foot carré d& #39; a house of surface extérieure of éléments? With the d&amp place; #39; mécanique of air-conditioning à éliminer heat and l& #39; humidité, why not test d& #39; to open the fenêtres on porches ombragés and that the breeze fraîche of the house? & lt; br/& WP; And if we opened our spirits a little - which have cessé to think much of things on the fashion and the value of resale - and allowed the shapes of our houses for être in form more by the manière of which they réagissent with the climate and l& #39; environment in which we do live? & lt; br/& WP; The surprising résultat could être intéressant and of beautiful houses which coÔ tent très à little  the heat and of fraA®chor - just like l& #39; olden days. & lt; br/& WP;
