Description
The sustainability movement in architecture is gaining tremendous momentum every year, especially now that buildings can be rated with LEED and operations tracked for effectiveness. However, the building industry is still in need of "hard" information about the planning, design, products, and methods for sustainable structures. In order to help meet this crucial need, Emerald Architecture offers you a full-color collection of 25 in-depth case studies of green structures and facilities that are as attractive as they are sustainable. Using more than 200 beautiful photos and illustrations, this timely architectural guide presents design data and specifications from a wide variety of projects, including schools, offices, labs, libraries, and government buildings. For each of the cutting-edge projects included, Emerald Architecture provides a lucid description of the building itself ... how it works ... and an evaluation of how successful it has been. -- Book jacket.
