The valuable guidance encompasses energy and pollution, environmental impact, environmental health and safety, recycling, ecology and sustainable development supported by case studies. The book is very well presented and supported by many tables, diagrams and photographs, all of which help the reader in assimilating the contents of the book.'

Reseña del editor

Brian Edwards and a team of expert contributors set out the important sustainable principles in the practice of architecture. The second edition outlines the full impact of environmental laws for architects, especially those which derive from Europe.
This second edition has six new chapters, including Photovoltaics and new sections on 'Water conservation' and 'Sustainable construction'. It has been updated in line with the changes in European environmental law; there are also many more built examples which are fully illustrated. A wider range of case studies, targeted to the chapter themes, is also included.
