  • Sustainable energy involvement in vernacular architecture [Elektronski vir]
    Juvanec, Borut
    Different parts of the world have different temperature conditions. These relate to both warmth and coldness and both exist in nature as lava; the interior of our planet and as ice, the surface of ... its shaded side. Man uses both for his life and survival, in various ways. Both nature and man exploit warmth and coldness. Natural sources are the sun and seasonal conditions. The sun's rays can be useful for humans, but overheating is dangerous. The sun is a natural source of heat but fire needs fuel. A fire burns with high temperature, but we need only moderate warmth. A side effect of fire is smoke, unpleasant for humans. Materials have their influence, depending on their structure and conductibility. Man uses these elements in all possible ways: the sun and fire for heating, and burying in the earth for maintaining coldness. Energy is needed for all movements, actions. Fire is the most usable effect of energy, in several senses. Theory in practice shows both open and enclosed fire in a house, drying huts utilising fire or sun, cellars under a house for retaining a moderate temperature or icehouses dug into the earth for retaining cool temperatures. Such objects can be seen all over the world. All the phases of this architecture can be found in Slovenia too: some of those objects show the use of natural energy clearly as theoretical principle. Vernacular architecture has shown the right directions for millennia.
