Green Studio Handbook, Oct 17 2007
By L. Whitehead - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Green Studio Handbook: Environmental Strategies for Schematic Design (Paperback)
This is a great book for anyone interested in designing sustainable buildings. There are 7 sections - envelope, lighting, heating, cooling, energy production, water and waste and case studies- with different strategies in each. The sections are very clear and explain what each strategy is, how it's achieved, the problems and design considerations for each. Also there are lots of diagrams, charts and real-world examples. I would highly recommend this book it is very easy to read and it makes what may seem like complicated sustainable systems, easy to implement into your own designs.

Excellent Resource, A Must Have, Sep 21 2007

This review is from: The Green Studio Handbook: Environmental Strategies for Schematic Design (Paperback)
As an architecture student, I have found this to be an ideal source for helping me incorporate green design strategies into studio projects. Time is always valuable during the design process and having all this data under one cover is sure to save you bundles of it. Filled with top-notch photos, written descriptions, and evocative sketches and illustrations, I can't recommend this book enough.

This is a great book, thats easy to use, clear and consise and even looks great on the coffee table (colour photos). This book is a helpful resource for those who are practitioners as well as those who need a guide to more informatively converse in green design strategy with their contractors/architects.
