The set of Building 2000 brochures illustrates how architects and other building designers can successfully apply passive solar principles to produce energy-effient buildings. Building 2000 is a pilot project of the European Commission's R&D programme Solar Energy Applications to Buildings, encouraging the adoption to solar architectures in large buildings.

This is the second volume of BUILDING 2000, a pilot project of the Commission's R&D programme 'Solar Energy Applications to Buildings' with the purpose of encouraging the adoption of solar architecture in large buildings. In a first volume, a similar series of studies is presented for the building categories: SCHOOLS, LABORATORIES and UNIVERSITIES, and SPORTS AND EDUCATIONAL CENTRES. In this second volume the results of the design studies illustrating passive solar architecture in buildings in the European Community are presented in particular for the building categories: OFFICE BUILDINGS,...
