| Abstract
|
:
|
"This groundbreaking book will help all building design, management and cost professionals to understand sustainable design and provide the technical skills needed to implement the most up-to-date concepts. Based on a hugely successful series of workshops for professionals in construction, the book covers the history of ideas, materials, measurement - both cost and benchmarking performance, environmental services, and the building design and delivery process through to post-occupancy evaluation. It covers individual buildings and the urban scale." -Back cover
