Features: Learning to build more environmentally adaptable buildings is increasingly becoming a commercial and legal necessity. This new handbook provides detailed references for buyers interested in eco-friendly building products, filling in the gaps left by the "Green Building Handbook." The book opens with observations and introductions by Professor Tom Wu Li, discussing the current issues in green building. Subsequently, the remaining chapters explore various building components, including fence products, electrical wiring, glass products, adhesives, and ventilation. With a wealth of valuable information, this companion handbook will be highly useful for anyone interested in seeking more "green" ways to design and construct buildings. Focusing on green building research topics, the book elaborates on the relationship between green building and ecological environments, economics, legal issues, and more. It covers topics such as transitioning from modern construction to green building, the composition and characteristics of green building systems, green building design, evaluation, and practical examples of theory and practice. Additionally, it provides systematic insights into topics like the application of solar energy in buildings, building environmental control and energy-saving technologies, and the resource utilization of urban wastewater and waste.
