Architecture Earth-Sheltered Buildings. Design Manual 1.4

Abstract

Design guidance is presented for use by experienced engineers and architects. The types of buildings within the scope of this manual include slab- on-grade, partially-buried (bermed) or fully-buried, and large (single-story or multistory) structures. New criteria unique to earth-sheltered design are included for the following disciplines: Planning, Landscape Design, Life-Cycle Analysis, Architectural, Structural, Mechanical (criteria include below-grade heat flux calculation procedures), and Electrical.
