Despite a prolonged slump in the housing market, the demand for
residential green building remains strong. More than ever,
professionals need reliable information about how to construct or
retrofit livable, sustainable, and economical homes. With
"Fundamentals of Sustainable Dwellings," Avi Friedman provides that
resource. While other books on residential green building are often
either superficial or overly technical, Friedman gets it just
right, delivering an illustrated, accessible guide for architects,
developers, home builders, codes officials, and students of
architecture and green design.
Friedman charts a new course for residential building--one in which
social, cultural, economic, and environmental values are part of
every design decision. The book begins with a concise overview of
green building principles, covering topics such as sustainable
resources and common certification methods. Each following chapter
examines a critical aspect of green home construction, from siting
to waste management options. Friedman provides basics about
energy-efficient windows and heating and cooling systems. And he
offers innovative solutions like edible landscaping and green
roofs.
Friedman knows that in green building, ideas are only as good as
their execution. So in each chapter valuable data is assembled and
a contemporary project in which designers strove to achieve
sustainability while adhering to real-world constraints is
featured. The result is a practical guide for every professional in
the burgeoning field of residential green building.
