Description
The Green Building Revolution by Jerry Yudelson is a chronicle and manifesto of the growing movement towards environmentally aware building design. This book introduces readers to the basics of green building, highlighting projects and individuals that are driving this revolution forward. With in-depth case studies and interviews, The Green Building Revolution shows how conventional budgets can be used to create high-performance, LEED-certified buildings with healthier indoor environments and reduced energy and water usage. As the movement gains momentum, its principles are being adopted by architects, engineers, builders, developers, government professionals, and consumers alike. The book outlines the many "revolutions" taking place in various sectors, from commercial buildings to housing and neighborhood design, and provides a solid business case for accelerating this trend towards sustainability.
