As the environmental impact of buildings become increasingly
recognized, the role of building designers and the initial decision
making process that determines materials, systems, and construction
processes becomes more critical. This timely book addresses
sustainability in building design through a series of examples
presented as three dimensional models of well integrated building
systems. The book organizes buildings into three sections -
structure, envelope, and mechanical systems - based on the
integration of paired building systems. The book demonstrates the
performance of each systems pair in terms of interaction and
contribution of each individual system and the synergetic benefits
resulting from the unique pairing. The last section of the book is
devoted to buildings that have a higher degree of integration and
cannot be studied as paired systems. Each building is illustrated
with full graphical display, text and analytical drawing to
demonstrate its performance in a particular environment.
