How can you tell if the materials and components you are specifyinghave a low environmental impact? A full life-cycle assessment is acomplex, time-consuming and expensive process; the environmentalratings summarised in this Guide provide a quick and easy way fordesigners and specifiers to assess their options. The relative environmental performance of over 250 materials andcomponents have been assessed in this guide, using carefullyresearched, quantitative data derived from the BRE EnvironmentalDatabase. A wide range of alternative specifications are providedfor: · walls · floor systems · floor finishes · roofs · windows · doors · ceilings · paints · insulation · landscaping. The performance of each specification is measured against arange of environmental impacts including: · climate change · toxicity · fossil fuel and ozone depletion · levels of emissions and pollutants · mineral and water extraction. Environmental performance is indicated by a simple to use A-B-Crating system. To further aid specifiers, guidance on capitalcoasts, typical replacement intervals and information on recyclingis also provided for each material and component. An important part of BREEAM, the BRE's widely accepted scheme toimprove the environmental performance of buildings, The GreenGuide to Specification is an essential tool for architects,surveyors, building managers and property owners seeking to reducethe environmental impacts of building materials through informedchoice.

Materials for Architects and Builders provides a clear and concise introduction to the broad range of materials used within the construction industry and covers the essential details of their manufacture, key physical properties, specification and uses. Understanding the basics of materials is a crucial part of undergraduate and diploma construction or architecture-related courses, and this established textbook helps the reader to do just that with the help of colour photographs and clear diagrams throughout. This new edition has been completely revised and updated to include the latest developments in materials research, new images, appropriate technologies and relevant legislation. The ecological effects of building construction and lifetime use remain an important focus, and this new edition includes a wide range of energy saving building components.

Multi-functional Concrete with Recycled Aggregates consists of chapters covering multiple aspects of sustainable concrete materials, inclusive of engineering, environmental, policy, and management factors. With contributing authors worldwide from a variety of disciplines bridged by the theme of sustainability of concrete, this book aims to provide an overview of existing research and practices of traditional recycled aggregate concrete; introduce the latest studies of high-performance concrete adopting recycled aggregates from C&D wastes; disseminate the latest findings of multifunctional recycled aggregate concrete by achieving the waste reuse while realizing other environmental sustainability goals; and link the multipurpose sustainable concrete technical development into the C&D waste management. Features state-of-the-art research and practices on adopting construction and demolition (C&D) wastes for production of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) Discusses the managerial aspects of C&D waste management by promoting the usage of different types of RAC from technical, policy, and managerial perspectives Covers the entire waste reuse model to enhance the reuse and recycling rate of C&D wastes Includes recent developments in high-performance RAC and other new functions in RAC (e.g., pervious RAC designed to absorb air pollutants) are also presented Covers state-of-the art research and developments in engineering applications and properties of RAC, such as pervious RAC, self-cleaning RAC and High-performance RAC

The one-stop guide for choosing a green building rating system Today, sustainability is a growing concern for the architects, designers, builders, and owners of commercial and residential buildings. Meeting the requirements of a rating system provides a metric to evaluate and set priorities. But the variety and complexity of methods available to assess the eco-friendliness of a building can seem overwhelming. Guide to Green Building Rating Systems informs readers about the rating system selection process. Comparing essential issues such as cost, ease of use, and building performance, this book offers solid guidance that will help readers find the rating system that best fits their needs. This easy-to-follow reference includes: An overview of the major national rating systems, including LEED®, Green Globes®, the National Green Building Standard, and ENERGY STAR® An in-depth look at each rating system, including its evolution, objectives, point structure, levels of certification, benefits, and shortcomings How the ratings systems work for different types of buildings—commercial, multi-family residential, and single-family residential construction Illustrated case studies from different climate regions with project descriptions, cost data, and lessons learned by design teams, constructors, and owners An overview of local, regional, and international rating systems Guide to Green Building Rating Systems demystifies complex material, making this book an essential reference for building professionals engaged in, or wishing to pursue, sustainable building practices.

Like its predecessors, this fourth edition of The Green Guide to Specification provides designers and specifiers with easy-to-use guidance on how to make the best environmental choices when selecting construction materials and components. It is more comprehensive than its predecessors; it contains more than 1200 specifications used in six types of building: • Commercial buildings, such as offices • Educational buildings, such as schools and universities • Healthcare buildings, such as hospitals • Retail • Residential • Industrial. The principal building elements covered in this edition of The Green Guide to Specification include: • Floors • Roofs • Walls • Windows • Insulation • Landscaping. The performance of each specification is measured against a range of environmental impacts, including: • climate change • toxicity • fossil fuel and ozone depletion • levels of emissions and pollutants • mineral and water extraction. The Green Guide to Specification provides robust information to assist decision-making by translating numerical life-cycle assessment data into a simple A+ to E scale of environmental ratings, enabling specifiers to make meaningful comparisons between materials and components. The Green Guide to Specification is an essential tool for architects, surveyors, building managers and property owners seeking to reduce the environmental impact of their buildings by informed and responsible selection of construction materials and components.

The built environment affects our physical, mental and social well-being. Here renowned professionals from practice and academia explore the evidence from basic research as well as case studies to test this belief. They show that many elements in the built environment contribute to establishing a milieu which helps people to be healthier and have the energy to concentrate while being free to be creative. The health and well-being agenda pervades society in many different ways but we spend much of our lives in buildings, so they have an important role to play within this total picture. This demands us to embrace change and think beyond the conventional wisdom while retaining our respect for it. Creating the Productive Workplace shows how we need to balance the needs of people and the ever-increasing enabling technologies but also to take advantage of the healing powers of Nature and let them be part of environmental design. This book aims to lead to more human-centred ways of designing the built environment with deeper meaning and achieve healthier and more creative, as well as more productive places to work.
