Just want to figure out how to change the forum background color from black to other colors. Viewing the forum under the black background color is very tiring and I wonder whether there is a way to change this.
Kitchen and Bath Sustainable Design: Conservation, Materials, Practices
Author(s): Amanda Davis and Robin Fisher

Quality:Original preprint
Abstract: The leading industry association's handbook for going green in the kitchen and bath
Kitchen & Bath Sustainable Design is the National Kitchen and Bath Association's complete guide to "greening" these important rooms. The first book to focus exclusively on kitchen and bath sustainability, this full color guide covers every consideration for both remodels and new construction, making it a handy reference for any kitchen and bath professional. Case studies of award-winning projects demonstrate how space, budget, and sustainability can come together to create beautiful, functional, efficient rooms, and illustrations throughout provide visual examples of the techniques discussed. The book includes information on greening one's practice for the client's benefit, plus an appendix of additional resources and instructional materials for classroom use.
Outside of general heating and cooling, kitchen appliances use the bulk of a household's energy. Kitchens and baths together use an average of 300 gallons of water per day for a family of four, and both rooms are high-use areas that require good air quality. Kitchen & Bath Sustainable Design provides a handbook to designing these rooms for sustainability, without sacrificing comfort or livability. With comprehensive guidance on approaching these rooms sustainably, readers will:
• Communicate better with builders, clients, and potential clients
• Understand technical considerations, and the criteria that make a design "green"
• Conduct a full design analysis, including life cycle costing and efficiency
• Learn the ratings systems and standards in play in the green kitchen and bath
The biggest elements of sustainable interior design—energy efficiency, water use, and materials selection—are all major players in the kitchen and bath. Clients are increasingly demanding attention to sustainability issues, and designers must be up to date on the latest guidelines, best practices, and technology. Kitchen & Bath Sustainable Design is the complete technical and practical guide to green design for the kitchen and bath professional.

This report is part of the so-called Technical documents (Type 2 above) and contains a comprehensive description of the practical examples presented at the workshop “Design of concrete buildings with the Eurocodes” with emphasis on worked examples. The workshop was held on 20-21 October 2011 in Brussels, Belgium and was organized by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission together with CEN/TC250/Sub-Committee 2 and Politecnico di Torino, with the support of CEN and the Member States. The workshop addressed representatives of public authorities, national standardisation bodies, research institutions, academia, industry and technical associations involved in training on the Eurocodes. The main objective was to facilitate training on Eurocode 2 through the transfer of knowledge and training information from the Eurocode 2 writers (CEN/TC250 Sub-Committee 2) to key trainers at national level and Eurocodes users.

This report is part of the so-called Technical documents (Type 2 above) and contains a comprehensive description of the practical examples presented at the workshop “Geotechnical design with the Eurocodes” with emphasis on worked examples. The workshop was held on 13-14 June 2013 in Dublin, Ireland and was co-organized with CEN/TC250/Sub-Committee 7, the Ireland's Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, with the support of CEN and the Member States. The workshop addressed representatives of public authorities, national standardisation bodies, research institutions, academia, industry and technical associations involved in training on the Eurocodes. The main objective was to facilitate training on Eurocode 7 related to geotechnical design through the transfer of knowledge and training information from the Eurocode 7 writers (CEN/TC250 Sub-Committee 7) to key trainers at national level and Eurocode users.
