The book
contains tons of building data  I was very impressed with the book. I
was
looking
for new techniques and this is what the book provided along with
information on
how
to obtain the materials. Also detailed information on how to use the
materials.
The
book was a great help.

Reviews  The
publisher, John Wiley & Sons  "Green building"--the trend toward more
environmentally responsible construction--has become a popular
movement among
architects, but it is less well understood by the developers and
owners who
control
funding. This book is the first to demonstrate the advantages of green
development,
using case studies of developers and owners who built environmentally
responsible
projects that have delivered superior financial rewards.
Customer Comments : Christian Overbey (cdosem at halcyon.com) from

, December 1, 1998  Thoroughly presents sustainable land development
This book
thoroughly presents sustainable real estate development. It answers
the basic
questions of how, what, when, why and who with text and photos (CD
also)
illustrating numerous case studies.  It is written for a wide and
concerned
audience, composed of real estate professionals, financiers and
designers. This
book
is not technical. It is a conceptual book and guides the reader toward
sustainable
solutions.  This subject is very large and this book is necessarily a
summary,
which
includes recent projects.  This book does not "preach to the choir".
It
addresses
difficult obstacles to the sustainable development paradigm and
provides
workable
solutions.
