This
extensive and user-friendly book on green design presents practical guidelines
for applying environmental strategies during the schematic design
of green buildings. For each strategy, the book provides: brief
descriptions of principles and concepts, step-by-step approaches
for integrating technologies into the early stages of design,
annotated tables and charts to assist with preliminary design
sizing, key issues to be aware of when implementing a given
strategy, and references to the most recent international
standards and rating systems, guidelines, and internet resources.
Conceptual sketches and photos in full
color illustrate each strategy. A discussion of the green
design process and case studies of several green building projects
puts the strategies presented in context.
