The 'fit for purpose' of the built environment has been a focus of
attention since classical times, both in the West and in the East.
However, an explicit focus on 'sustainable buildings' is relatively
new. The last two decades in particular have seen an explosion of
published material on the design, construction and assessment of
buildings purported to be 'sustainable.' Many governments and
owners of buildings now routinely require their buildings be
'sustainable' and are certified to be so. In the case of
sustainability certification, the recent growth in tools,
techniques and assessment systems is phenomenal: even as early as
2005 there were over 600 such tools in different parts of the
world! New ones sprout all the time and design guides attempt a
losing battle to keep pace. This new title in Routledge's Major
Works series brings together authoritative canonical and cutting
edge reference work to establish a framework for easy comprehension
of the vast and continually expanding subject matter. It is a
four-volume reference work and an indispensable research tool for
all interested researchers, students, building owners and
policy-makers to gain a thorough understanding of the field. It
showcases a variety of approaches to sustainable buildings from
around the world and links these to on-site construction practices
and assessment. Comprehensive introductions to each volume place
the collected material in its historical, intellectual, and global
practice context.
