Product Description
Product Description
In this revised edition, Charles Kibert delivers a detailed, and passionate, overview of the entire process of green building, covering the theory, history, state of the industry, and best practices in green building. Kibert uses not only the dominant LEED assessment system, but includes such newer ones as Green Globes and several noteworthy building assessment systems from other countries. Sections introduce the background of the green building movement and walk you through such aspects as the background of high-performance green building design, green-building assessment, the green building process, and ecological design.
Broad enough to cover the needs of faculty and students in architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, interior design, and construction management, yet focused enough to serve as a reference for building owners and buyers of construction services, Sustainable Construction is a comprehensive look at an emerging process that is environmentally sounds while making good economic sense.
Content from this book is available as two online continuing professional education courses at http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-320255.html#life_cycle_assessment and http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-320255.html#green_building. WileyCPE courses are available on demand, 24 hours a day, and are approved by the American Institute of Architects.

Lack of aesthetics in book,
By
This review is from: Sustainable Construction: Green Building Design and Delivery (Hardcover)
I just received the book, and unlike the cover there is not a lot of good quality pictures. When I looked at the cover of the book over the internet, I imagined a volume with quality pictures of green buildings around the world accompanied with pertinent information. The book does satisfy the information part, but lacks in aesthetics and captivating pictures that help me imagine these spaces.
