Written for students and practitioners in the fields of architecture and
interior design, our new Architecture Brief Sustainable Design provides
a concise overview of all the techniques available for reducing the
energy footprint of structures and spaces. With clear, simple language
and a practical can do approach, author David Bergman covers everything
from the profession's ethical responsibility, to design structures and
spaces that sustain our natural resources, to specific considerations
such as rainwater harvesting, graywater recycling, passive heating
techniques, solar orientation, green roofs, wind energy, daylighting,
indoor air quality, material evaluation and specification, and how to
work with green building certification programs.
