The Green Building Bible 3rd Edition

The Green Building Press has recently published a third edition of the Green Building Bible , but with the growing information and awareness about environmental building they have had to produce it in two volumes with over 700 pages.
These books are a great starting place to help you ‘get to grips’ with building, adapting and living in homes that have a reduced environmental impact.
There are no easy answers and many different approaches, but in these books you will find encouraging, practical and immediately useful hands-on information from both the long-term green building professionals and enthusiastic newcomers to the movement. The new ‘Industry trends’ chapter will provide you with a snapshot of where we are now and how things are likely to develop in the near future.
Volume 2 goes beyond the introductions and delves into the more in-depth design detailing of buildings. It also provides easy to understand explanations of how some of the new technologies actually work. The book covers areas such as site layout, building envelope and fabric, renewable technologies, environmental factors, lighting strategies, heating and cooling systems and lots more.
