Reviews"...explains how different disciplines have an environmental impact on a sites. The writers insist that all professionals need to be educated and aware that hazardous products used in a home may affect the health of the people occupying the home or the structural integrity of the building. This book is a great reference about many fundamental issues, the do's and don'ts we should be aware of when dealing with a new site. It shows us how important it is to have a "green" vision when starting a design, and that involving other disciplines in your site approach will create an integrated and sustainable design."

SynopsisIntroductory primer on sustainable design for the architect and anyone interested in green building. Bridges the principles, theory and practice of the topic to provide a "nuts and bolts" text for students as well as being a professional reference., A rich sourcebook covering the breadth of environmental building Whatever your career path, be it in one of the design professions, engineering, land use planning, resource and waste management, or government, understanding the fundamentals of integrated building design is essential to your role in developing a better environment. Fundamentals of Integrated Design for Sustainable Building introduces the student and practitioner to the history, theory, and technology of green building and describes practical approaches to planning, designing, and building structures that mitigate, or even reverse, the impacts of buildings on the environment. Using an active learning approach, authors Marian Keeler and Bill Burke explain the concepts of sustainable architecture and reinforce them through design problems, research exercises, study questions, team projects, and discussion topics. Chapters by specialists in the green movement cover such topics as: The integrated building design process The emergence of green building and green building legislation Environmental chemicals in humans and buildings Energy use and standards Energy-efficient design for both residential and commercial buildings Water quality and conservation Sustainable neighborhoods and communities Construction and demolition waste management Introducing the reader to everything from history and philosophy to design technologies and practice, this sweeping resource will launch and guide the careers of those charged with transforming the way buildings are planned, designed, and constructed., " Fundamentals of Integrated Design for Sustainable Building offers an introduction to green building concepts as well as design approaches that reduce and can eventually eliminate the need for fossil fuel use in buildings while also conserving materials, maximizing their efficiency, protecting the indoor air from chemical intrusion, and reducing the introduction of toxic materials into the environment. It represents a necessary road map to the future designers, builders, and planners of a post-carbon world." - from the Foreword by Ed Mazria A rich sourcebook covering the breadth of environmental building, Fundamentals of Integrated Design for Sustainable Building introduces the student and practitioner to the history, theory and technology of green building. Using an active learning approach, the concepts of sustainble architecture are explained and reinforced through design problems, research exercises, study questions, team projects, and discussion topics. Chapters by specialists in the green movement round out this survey of all the important issues and developments that students and professionals need to know. From history and philosophy to design technologies and practice, this sweeping resource is sure to be referenced until worn out., " Fundamentals of Integrated Design for Sustainable Building offers an introduction to green building concepts as well as design approaches that reduce and can eventually eliminate the need for fossil fuel use in buildings while also conserving materials, maximizing their efficiency, protecting the indoor air from chemical intrusion, and reducing the introduction of toxic materials into the environment.
