Description

Practical solutions for sustainability In this timely guide; one of the worlds leaders in advanced building technology implementation shows architects and engineers proven and practical methods for implementing these technologies in sustainably-designed buildings. Because of the very limited time architects are given from being awarded a project to concept design; this book offers clear and workable solutions for implementing solar energy; radiant heating and cooling floors; displacement ventilation; net zero; and more. It provides helpful tips and suggestions for architects and engineers to work together on implementing these technologies; along with many innovative possibilities for developing a truly integrated design. This book also explores and explains the many benefits of advanced technologies; including reduced greenhouse gas emissions; lower operating costs; noise reduction; improved indoor air quality; and more. In addition; Advanced Building Technologies for Sustainability: Offers detailed coverage of solar energy systems; thermal energy storage; geothermal systems; high-performance envelopes; chilled beams; under-floor air distribution; displacement induction units; and much more Provides case studies of projects using advanced technologies and demonstrates their implementation in a variety of contexts and building types Covers the implementation of advanced technologies in office towers; large residential buildings; hospitals; schools; dormitories; theaters; colleges; and more Complete with a clear and insightful explanation of the requirements for and benefits of acquiring the U.S. Green Building Councils LEED certification; Advanced Building Technologies for Sustainability is an important resource for architects; engineers; developers; and contractors involved in sustainable projects using advanced technologies.
