Green buildings are better buildings. In fact, buildings use 36% of
the energy in the United States, according to the Environmental
Protection Agency, so green buildings that use less energy help to
address the very real challenges of reliance on fossil fuel and
climate change. More than only being environmentally responsible,
green libraries are beautiful, cost-effective, high-performance
buildings that enhance occupant health and comfort. The Green
Library Planner is designed for members of library building design
teams who typically are not actively engaged in architecture,
construction, or engineering, but who need an introduction to the
rationale for green buildings, the elements of green building, and
the language of the field. It will be equally useful for public
officials, boards, or administrators who are considering a new
green library building, a renovated library structure, or
sustainable elements for a current library facility. Mary M. Carr,
a library director who is also a LEED-Accredited Professional with
national certification, first introduces the basic tenets of green
building. She then covers the gamut of green building from design,
through all phases of construction or renovation, to operations and
maintenance. Chapter highlights include: .Fundamentals of
Sustainable Building .The Importance of Place .Energy and Lighting
.Indoor Environmental Quality .Water Conservation and Quality
.Sustainable Construction Management Techniques .Commissioning
Sustainable Operations and Maintenance With this information the
librarian, and related library staff and administrators, will be
able to design, build or renovate, and operate the library in the
best way possible, while considering the environmental and economic
challenges faced, locally and globally, in the 21st century."
