This guide is intended to be a practical aid to help designers consider the environmental implications of commonly (and occasionally not-so-commonly) specified building materials. It comprises three main sections:
Part 1 is a short overview of sustainable construction;
Part 2 is a an extensive summary of materials used in construction products providing an insight into the environmental impact of their production, use and eventual disposal;
Part 3 contains a range of data sheets for materials and elements with guidance on their advantages and disadvantages, practical considerations and sustainable alternatives.
The guide also contains a useful bibliography and is fully interactive with many useful links to external sources of further information.
