Consideration of Thermodynamics in Vernacular Design Principles on Cooling and Heating Loads in Structures.

This present will focus on how via the incorporation of natural and vernacular design principles, designers can reduce the demand on cooling and heating loads in structures, while showing how an understanding of sever temperatures on human bodies can create environments that are lower in energy consumption, enabling the exploitation of renewable energy sources, alongside creating healthier low stressed working and living environments.
