This book explores the concepts and practicalities that lead to
sustainable construction. It breaks new ground by providing the
reader with the underlying principles of how to build sustainably
and then assesses many of the tools required for the task. From
energy to materials and from procurement to operation, all aspects
play their part in turning a theoretically sustainable building
project into a reality. There are many guidelines for the designer
on how to maximise the sustainability of buildings but this
resource text supplements these by focusing on the construction and
operational aspects of sustainable buildings, as well as some of
the more fundamental design-related considerations. Offers an
excellent text for those learning to construct, design and operate
sustainable buildings. Covers the drivers for sustainable
construction, definitions, historical impacts, climate change and
global, regional and individual responses. enables the construction
professional to achieve optimum solutions, both in design, process
and the aftercare of buildings. evaluates the effectiveness of
different renewable technologies and provides guidance on the
practicalities of their use. Alerts the reader to future trends in
this field.
