Abstract

The practice of architecture is increasingly constrained by legislation aimed at protecting the environment or the consumer, mainly the results of directives from the European Commission. The broadening of environmental controls, entailing desirable green principles, means that the questions of environmental assessment, impact on ecosystems or heritage sites, energy use, safety requirements, life-cycle assessment and environmental audits, have become part of the daily life of the construction industry. This book explains the new responsibilities and opportunities for architects emanating from environmental laws, especially those which derive from Euro-directives.
