Zusammenfassung
Selbst mit wachsendem Bewusstsein für die Umwelt und der Entstehung des Begriffs der "nachhaltigen Architektur", gilt Technologie immer noch als die beste und einzige Möglichkeit, ein umweltfreundliches Gebäude zu gestalten. Die Einzigartigkeit der vernakulären Architektur und die Art und Weise, wie sich der Mensch an seine Umgebung anpasste, führen die Autorin zu einer ausgiebigen Recherche über die nachhaltigen Charakteristika der vernakulären Siedlungen im Mittelmeerraum, um herauszufinden, ob diese Charakteristika auf die gegenwärtige und zukünftige Architektur auf innovative Weise angewendet werden können, um nachhaltige Gebäude mit möglichst geringem Energieverbrauch zu schaffen. Die Forschungsmethode basiert auf einer allgemeinen Analyse der Merkmale des passiven Designs einer Stadt oder Siedlung im mediterranen Klima mit dem Fokus auf den Einfluss von Sonne und Wind. Untersucht werden dazu Elemente wie Topographie, Vegetation, Wasser. Anschließend folgt die städtische Struktur mit ihrer Geometrie sowie Block- und Straßenorientierung und –abmessungen. Danach werden die Eigenschaften der Gebäude in ihrer Form, Ausrichtung und Abmessungen und schließlich die zu diesen Häusern das energetische Verhalten beeinflussende Elemente wie Fenster und Vegetation untersucht. Auf der Grundlage einschlägiger wissenschaftlicher Literatur werden alle Faktoren entsprechend ihrem Beitrag zur Energieeinsparung in Gebäuden bewertet. Vier Fallstudien dienen zur Überprüfung des Bewertungssystem, zwei Fallstudien aus der Untersuchungsregion (den Mittelmeerküsten) und zwei moderne Fallstudien, die sich an der mediterranen klassischen Weise orientieren. Die Untersuchung jeder Fallstudie wird in der gleichen Systematik wiederholt: Ort, Siedlung, Wohnung, Element und entsprechend der allgemeinen Analyse mit Punkten bewertet. Aus dieser Analyse ergibt sich eine Gesamtpunktzahl und Bewertung für jede Fallstudie. Damit sollen die Leistungen der vernakulären Fallstudien in Bezug auf Energieeinsparungen mit den modernen Fallstudien verglichen werden.
With climate change and the depleting ozone layer, awareness about protecting the environment is increasing and “Sustainable Architecture” is becoming an essential part of the architectural future of cities. However, sustainable buildings of today are being built with high cost, high tech systems which can be reduced by taking advantage of past technologies and systems. The brilliance of vernacular architecture and the way man adapted to his surroundings fascinated me and inspired me to do further research on the sustainable characteristics of vernacular settlements of the Mediterranean area in order to determine if these characteristics can be applied to present and future architecture in an innovative way to create sustainable buildings with least possible energy consumption. The method of research was based upon a general analysis of the passive design (solar and wind) characteristics of a town or settlement in Mediterranean climate starting from its site elements such as topography, vegetation, water. After that its urban structure, such as the geometry, block and street orientation and dimensions. Following that, the dwelling characteristics like dwelling shape, orientation and dimensions and finally the thermal regulating elements found in these dwellings, such as windows and vegetation. These elements were given a score according to their contribution to energy savings in buildings. Four case studies were chosen: two vernacular case studies from the region of study (the Mediterranean Coasts) and two modern case studies inspired by the Mediterranean vernacular. The analysis was repeated in the same sequence mentioned: Site, Settlement, Dwelling, Element, for the actual performance of each case study. The elements were given a number of points out of the score assigned for each element in the general analysis. A total score and rating for each case study resulted from this analysis. The objective of these scores were to compare the performance of the vernacular case studies to the vernacular inspired case studies in terms of energy savings.
