Relevant Case Studies: A Benchmark for Future Design

Active House Alliance proposes a new tool to help designers in the whole construction process, since the architectural concept, through the definition of energetic strategies, until the characterization of material and construction details. The AH Radar guides the design process and, at least, evaluates the project, according to the holistic integration of its three principles: Comfort, Energy, and Environment. This final chapter collects the evaluation of 16 Active House projects, analyzing the design strategies and evaluating them through the criteria of the AH Radar. All those case studies represent real virtuous examples of good design practice, available now.
