Green House Manual

Tulane School of Architecture Associate Professor Michael Crosby has recently published a resource for climate sensitive design titled Green House Manual; North America; A Bioclimatic Design Analysis. The booklet is a manual of building typologies and case studies serving as a reference for designers and students focused on climate and building form. The booklet demonstrates, with dozens of excellent diagrams and drawings, the way residential buildings can effectively respond to sun, wind, and seasonal changes in four distinct climate zones (cold, temperate, hot/humid, and hot/arid). This manual focuses on buildings in North America and is the first of a three-part series professor Crosby is developing. Green House Manual; North America has been produced with the help of the Tulane University School of Architecture and the Tulane City Center.
