The ldquo;green building revolutionrsquo;rsquo; is happening right now. This book is its chronicle and its manifesto. Written by industry insider Jerry Yudelson; The Green Building Revolution introduces readers to the basics of green building and to the projects and people that are advancing this movement. With interviews and case studies; it does more than simply report on the revolution; it shows readers why and how to start thinking about designing; building; and operating high performance; environmentally aware (LEED-certified) buildings on conventional budgets. Evolving quietly for more than a decade; the green building movement has found its voice. Its principles of human-centered; environmentally sensitive development have reached a critical mass of architects; engineers; builders; developers; professionals in government; and consumers. Green buildings are showing us how we can have healthier indoor environments that use far less energy and water than conventional buildings do. The federal government; eighteen states; and nearly fifty U.S. cities already require new public buildings to meet ldquo;greenrdquo; standards. According to Yudelson; this is just the beginning. The Green Building Revolution describes the many ldquo;revolutionsrdquo; that are taking place today: in commercial buildings; schools; universities; public buildings; health care institutions; housing; property management; and neighborhood design. In a clear; highly readable style; Yudelson outlines the broader ldquo;journey to sustainabilityrdquo; influenced by the green building revolution and provides a solid business case for accelerating this trend. Illustrated with more than 50 photos; tables; and charts; and filled with timely information; The Green Building Revolution is the definitive description of a major movement thatrsquo;s poised to transform our world.
