Synergistic Design of Sustainable Built Environments
暫譯: 可持續建築環境的協同設計

《可持續建築環境的協同設計》介紹並說明了一種新穎的系統方法，促進設計卓越並邁向更以生物為中心（生態可持續）的設計範式。這本書提供了對生物中心設計理論和原則的深入理解，並詳細描述了將理論和原則整合到實踐中的協同設計過程。它還呈現了廣泛的熱環境和視覺建築環境設計策略，以及設計師可以用來生成可行解決方案的定性和定量信息，以應對不同的氣候和居住者舒適度。

特點：
1. 檢視可持續建築環境的協同設計（人本與生物中心的融合）的原則和實踐，以及它們與實際應用的關係。
2. 提供氣候數據及其分析，並附有多個城市的日照路徑圖，以協助在多個區域背景下設計可持續建築環境。
3. 包含多個不同氣候區域的可持續建築環境案例研究。
4. 解釋如何成功地將可再生能源（太陽能、風能、生物質能、地熱能、水能、燃料電池）整合進建築環境中。

這本前瞻性且圖文並茂的書籍將成為所有關心可持續建築環境及相關建築議題的人的寶貴參考。

As Fulbright Visiting Professor, North Dakota State University, Fargo, USA (2012) she contributed in pedagogy of sustainable architecture. She is an active member of the Society of Building Science Educators (SBSE) and recipient of Jeffrey Cook Memorial Scholarship in 2019. She has authored more than 36 research papers in international conferences and journals (Building & Environment and Architectural Science Review) and has served as a reviewer for the journals Building & Environment (Elsevier Science) and Indoor & Built Environment (Sage Publications). She is the author of the book 'Sustainable Building Design: Application using Climatic Data in India' published by Springer, Germany and the chief editor of the book 'Energy Efficient Design of Buildings and Cities' published by DCR University of Science & Technology, Murthal and Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe (HSOWL), Detmold, Germany. She has an extensive citation index in Google Scholar. She is a life member of the International Association of Passive and Low Energy Architecture (PLEA) and an International Associate of American Institute of Architects. She is also LEED^(R) Green Associate of US GBC. She is a certified professional as well as an evaluator (architect & construction management) of Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA), a national green rating of India. She is the master trainer for the Energy Conservation Building Code administered by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Ministry of Power, Government of India. Her biography is published in Marquis Who's Who in the World, the United States, as one of the leading achievers.

教授博士 Chitrarekha Kabre 於 2008 年獲得澳洲昆士蘭大學的建築學博士學位（獲得澳洲發展合作獎學金）。她於 1989 年在新德里的規劃與建築學院（國家重要機構）獲得建築工程與管理碩士學位（獲得金獎）。在 1985 年，她在博帕爾的 Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology 獲得建築學學士學位。她在電腦輔助建築設計、專案管理和可持續建築領域擁有 30 年的學術和專業經驗。她在本科、研究生和博士階段開發了可持續建築的課程。她引入了 M. Tech.（建設與房地產管理）這一創新課程，該課程由印度政府的高等教育委員會頒發。她是印度理工學院卡哈爾古爾、馬尼帕爾大學以及目前的德恩班杜·喬圖·拉姆科學與技術大學（Murthal, Sonepat）等著名機構可持續建築教育和研究的先驅。作為美國北達科他州立大學（Fargo）的富布賴特訪問教授（2012），她對可持續建築的教學法做出了貢獻。她是建築科學教育者協會（SBSE）的活躍成員，並於 2019 年獲得 Jeffrey Cook 紀念獎學金。她在國際會議和期刊（《建築與環境》和《建築科學評論》）上發表了超過 36 篇研究論文，並擔任《建築與環境》（Elsevier Science）和《室內與建築環境》（Sage Publications）期刊的審稿人。她是由德國 Springer 出版的書籍《可持續建築設計：在印度使用氣候數據的應用》的作者，也是由 DCR 科學與技術大學（Murthal）和德國 Detmold 的 Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe（HSOWL）出版的書籍《建築與城市的能源高效設計》的主編。她在 Google Scholar 上擁有廣泛的引用指數。她是國際被動與低能耗建築協會（PLEA）的終身會員，也是美國建築師協會的國際會員。她還是美國綠色建築委員會的 LEED^(R) 綠色協會成員。她是綠色評級綜合棲息地評估（GRIHA）的認證專業人士及評估員（建築與建設管理），這是印度的國家綠色評級。她是由印度電力部能源效率局管理的能源節約建築法規的主訓練師。她的傳記被刊登在美國的《馬奎斯世界名人錄》中，作為領先成就者之一。
