Sustainable Design: A Critical Guide (Architecture Briefs)
£12.40
Written for students and practitioners in the fields of architecture and interior design, our new Architecture Brief Sustainable Design provides a concise overview of all the techniques available for reducing the energy footprint of structures and spaces. With clear, simple language and a practical “can-do” approach, author David Bergman covers everything from the profession’s ethical responsibility, to design structures and spaces that sustain our natural resources, to specific considerations such as rainwater harvesting, graywater recycling, passive heating techniques, solar orientation, green roofs, wind energy, daylighting, indoor air quality, material evaluation and specification, and how to work with green building certification programs.

This is the book I’d definitely recommend to my peers.
Very very helpful.
by Mr Whibley
Absolutely brilliant book! I bought it due to the few snippet images of pages and the description which sounded like a good book to have and I really wasn’t disappointed! It goes into so many different areas of sustainability covering applications, materials, theory and much more.
I have found that many books are a bit much with case studies and don’t go into the details of what you actually want to know. This book however does exactly that… explanations and detailed information about ideas and methods of application.
As an architecture student, I find this book very useful and is helping me to incorporate concepts into my designs. Anyone… even practising architects, students or even just those interested in sustainable design would appreciate the remarkable work that has created this book. I’ve bought about 60 books in the last few years on architecture and this is definitely one of my best and most valued purchases. ONE FOR THE SHELF!!!
