Introduction to sustainable construction -- Procurement and sustainability -- Energy, water, refurbishment, and the sustainable building design -- Materials and sustainable building design -- Construction-related sustainability -- Assessment and performance evaluation of buildings and construction processes -- Behaviour, sustainable construction, and the performance gap -- The practicalities of building with sustainable technologies -- Future of sustainable construction
This book explores the concepts and practicalities that lead to sustainable construction. It breaks new ground by providing the reader with the underlying principles of how to build sustainably and then assesses many of the tools required for the task. From energy to materials and from procurement to operation, all aspects play their part in turning a theoretically sustainable building project into a reality. There are many guidelines for the designer on how to maximise the sustainability of buildings but this resource text supplements these by focusing on the construction and operational aspects of sustainable buildings, as well as some of the more fundamental design-related considerations.--AMAZON
