| Abstract
|
:
|
Vallero and Braiser (Duke U.) examine green engineering concepts by focusing on the scientific principles that facilitate the need for sustainable design in architecture, civil engineering and other applications. The authors supply case studies based upon their own experiences in the field, as well as the Duke University Smart House Program that provided the motivation for this book. This is a useful textbook for any civil engineering or architectural student interested in green engineering. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
