Energy Efficiency : 2nd report of session 2005-06, Vol. 2: Evidence
The second edition of Sustainable Construction provides a masterclass on the principles and techniques involved in the design and delivery of practical, affordable, high quality sustainable buildings and places. It presents precedents, theory, concepts and principles alongside 120 wide ranging case studies that highlight current best practice and encourage implementation. Topics in the book include: • the history of ideas in sustainable construction • policy • materials • cost issues • appraisal techniques • environmental design • energy • water • construction processes • and urban ecology. The book is heavily illustrated in full colour and is an ideal, contemporary, accessible primer to courses in Architecture, Construction, Building Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Project Management, Landscape, Urbanism and Development.
This handbook provides practical advice and guidance on the environmental issues that are likely to be encountered at each stage of a building or civil engineering project.
An exploration of the juxtaposition between cultural attitudes and national policies on the Scottish environment which offers a fascinating contrast between the landscape in imagination and in practical policy.
