This book is a guide to a sustainable design process that moves
from theory, to site and energy use, to building systems, and
finally to evaluation and case studies, so you can integrate design
and technology for effective sustainable building. Kuppaswamy
Iyengar shows you how to get it right the first time, use free
energy systems, and utilise technologies that minimize fossil fuel
use. Each chapter has a sustainable design overview, technical
details and strategies marked by clear sections, a summary, and
further resources. Heavily illustrated with charts, tables,
drawings, photographs, and case studies, the book shows
technologies and concepts integrated into cohesive project types,
from small and large office spaces to single and multiuse
residences, hospitals, schools, restaurants, and warehouses to
demonstrate implementing your designs to meet clients' needs now
and for the future. Includes an overview of alternate assessment
and evaluation systems such as BREEAM, CASBEE, GBTool, Green Globes
alongside LEED, ECOTECT, energy 10, HEED and eQuest simulation
programs. The guide reveals the importance of the building
envelope-walls, superstructure, insulation, windows, floors, roofs,
and building materials-on the environmental impact of a building,
and has a section on site systems examining site selection,
landscape design, thermal impact, and building placement.
