Please join Marian Keeler and Bill Burke for a Lecture and Booksigning.
Fundamentals of Integrated Design for Sustainable Building is the first book on green building written expressly for architecture and design students and their professors. A survey coursebook offering a broad range of topics--from energy efficiency principles of passive and active design, indoor air quality, materials selection, chemicals in the environment and construction waste management--it is a resource for practitioners as well.
Chapters on sustainable urban planning and stormwater management enrich the contents, as well as sections on:
• The integrated building design process • The emergence of green building and green building legislation and policy • Environmental chemicals in humans and buildings • Energy use and standards • Energy-efficient design for both residential and commercial buildings • Water quality and conservation • Sustainable neighborhoods and communities • Construction and demolition waste management
Several case studies, practical and theoretical alike, round out the offerings. It is an indispensable resource for those charged with transforming the way buildings are planned, designed, and constructed.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase courtesy of Builders Booksource.
