Features: Green Building Handbook 1, a guide describing building products and their environmental impacts. Compares the environmental effects of products commonly used in construction with lesser-known eco-friendly alternatives. Provides basic information for designers, contractors, and customers. Conveniently organized component specification tables. Examples of the practical application of green building products and technologies in real projects. Sustainable development is a key theme in modern societal progress, and environmental protection is one of the primary considerations in policy-making by governments worldwide. This book introduces how to build a truly "green building" from the perspective of "housing" in the "five necessities of life." It covers a broad scope with detailed content, not only outlining the concepts and principles of green building in general but also objectively describing the environmental impacts of various available materials from multiple aspects such as energy, insulation materials, masonry materials, wood, window frames, paints, and roofing materials. It offers purchasing recommendations, provides information on manufacturers and suppliers, and guides readers through every stage of the process—from design to the procurement of raw materials to construction. This book is suitable for architects, interior designers, building material engineers, professionals in the real estate industry, management personnel in government-related departments, and students and faculty in relevant fields at universities and colleges for reference.
