Abstract

Offers guidance to the architect or planner wishing to make environmentally-conscious choices when selecting building materials. Arranged into two sections, new building and retro-fitting, the work clearly grades the options available. Subdivided by topic, the materials are categorised by four gradings - 'best environmental choice' through to 'to be avoided'. Behind the grading is extensive research into life cycle analysis of materials, including; durability, disposability, raw material consumption.
