Sustainable Construction is the leading reference for the design, construction, and operation of high-performance green buildings. With broad coverage including architecture, engineering, and construction, this book nevertheless delivers detailed information on all aspects of the green building process, from materials selection to building systems and more. This new Fifth Edition has been updated to reflect the latest codes and standards, including LEED v4.1, and includes new coverage of international green building codes and standards, biomimicry and ecological design, focused assessment systems such as SITES, EDGE, WELL, and Fitwell, and a new chapter on resilience in the context of sustainable construction. Ancillary materials include an Instructor’s Manual and PowerPoint presentations for each chapter. In a clear writing style, Charles Kibert addresses issue so that the reader can think critically develop a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of green building, including the most recent advances and latest technology.
