Description
Learning how to construct more environmentally friendly buildings is increasingly a commercial and legal necessity. This new handbook provides a detailed reference for environmentally concerned purchasers of building products, and complements perfectly the first Green Building Handbook. Following the format of the original, this book begins with an overview and introduction by Professor Tom Woolley discussing current issues in green building before moving on to consider eight building component types: Fencing Products, Flat Roofing Membranes, Glazing Products, Electrical Wiring, Adhesives, Straw Bale Building, Interior Decoration and Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation. The book will be of particular interest to surveyors, architects, local authorities, property managers, housing associations, contractors, and students of building science, architecture, surveying, housing and environmental health.
