I felt that the writer tries too hard to make his case for building green but overall does a disservice because his arguments are weak. One of the claims he made was (paraphrasing here. since I threw the book away after the course ended) that developers can save 45% (or some ridiculously large percentage) by doing x instead of y. I read it and was thought. wow thats a lot of money! So I look up the citation and dig a little further. and the reference was based on ONE building site in remote lake-side Minnesota. Seriously? Building in Minnesota is the standard? I wouldnt recommend this book for several reasons: (1) if you know "a lot" about green already you would find this to be a lousy reference. (2) if you know "some" and want to know more. this may just give you the wrong numbers to work with if you want to talk intelligently with others who actually know more. (3) if you know "nothing" and want a broad overview. youll be better served by reading wikipedia.I gave it 2 stars because there *were* some valid points in the book. but you can find similar numbers/stats for free on the internet from the Department of Energy websites and subsites. from your utility. etc.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Data driven EVIDENCE to make a strong caseBy Jonathan Flaks"Ive already recommended this book to a client of mine. a builder / developer who frequently must convince owners. investors. communities and other stakeholders of the benefits of building green. This is his new bible! Thank you. Mr. Kats. for taking what clearly must have been painstaking. comprehensive and exhaustive efforts to gather and organize SO much hard data in such a readable and presentable form. We love all the charts and graphs (some of us prefer data presented visually). This will be the go-to resource whenever anyone nees to "make the case" for sustainable building decisions. Even at a premium price. this book is already worth 100 times that amount in research time and money saved." Jonathan Flaks.

Practical. thorough. thoughtful--By DC Book AngelGreg Kats has written a useful book-- providing planners. architects. and laypersons with the means to analyze and frame their investment in greener building technologies. With so much to be gained from good and thoughtful retrofitting. Greening our Built World. is both timely and important.
