The Whole Building Handbook: How to Design Healthy, Efficient and Sustainable Buildings
Earthscan Publications Ltd. | March 2010 | ISBN-10: 1844075230 | 702 pages | PDF | 85.5 MB
This book is a compendium of all the issues and strategies that architects need to understand to design and construct sustainable buildings for a sustainable society. The authors move beyond the current definition of sustainability in architecture, which tends to focus on energy-efficiency, to include guidance for architecture that promotes social cohesion, personal health, renewable energy sources, water and waste recycling systems, permaculture, energy conservation--and crucially, buildings in relation to their place.
