Understanding Green Building Guidelines for Students and Young Professionals

摘要

The academic interest in energy efficient, sustainable buildings is based on the practical need to radically transform the way buildings are planned, designed, constructed, maintained and operated. In order to "green" existing buildings as well as make sure new ones conform to green building regulations, it is necessary for students, teachers and practitioners to be aware of the dominant and most widely- used green building guidelines. Traci R. Rider, an experienced consultant specialising in green building initiatives has come up with a handy, easy to use book that can be used by students, teachers and practitioners as their first source of information on green guidelines.
