Sustainable building from the ground up - the pros and cons of the latest green and natural materials and technologies From foundation to finish, a wealth of information is available on sustainable construction methods-entire volumes have been published on individual green and natural building techniques. But with so many different ideas to choose from, there is no single resource that allows an owner or builder to quickly and objectively compare the merits of each system for their particular project. Making Better Buildings cuts through the hype and provides the unvarnished facts about the upsides and downsides of the most widely discussed materials and technologies. Drawing on the real-world experiences of designer/builders, this comparative guide systematically and comprehensively examines each approach in terms of: Cost, sourcing, labor intensity, and ease of construction Energy efficiency, embodied energy, and environmental impacts Availability/accessibility Viable applications and future potential. Each chapter is rounded out by a chart which summarizes the material in a quick and accessible manner. Whether you are an owner preparing to build a green or natural home, or a conventional contractor determined to integrate sustainable alternatives into your existing construction practices, this up-to-the minute resource will help you make the best decisions for your project, while meeting your energy, efficiency, budgetary, and site-specific needs.

Despite an increasing demand for energy-efficient design, it is generally accepted that architects rarely return to their creations to ensure that they are performing as intended: to talk to users, observe how the buildings work and have been adapted, and whether the environments created are enjoyable places to be in. While most building professionals recognise the value of follow-through and involvement after handover, there are many perceived barriers to undertaking this work in practice. This book provides a bold vision for how some of these perceived barriers can be overcome. Better Buildings provides architects with the inspiration and tools they need to deliver truly sustainable design. Through essays and illustrated case studies, this essential book explores how sustainable buildings are occupied and work and sheds light on the methods used to observe this. It illustrates that in observing building performance in-use, sustainable architecture has moved beyond simply creating beautiful spaces, to deliver on the low-energy performances promised (4e de couverture).

An important key to successful building is the close involvement of the client, or his specially appointed representative, with the project. Increasing attention is now being given to the role of the client and how he can contribute most effectively to the success of the building project. Following the important lessons that came out of its research study Faster Building for Industry, the Building Economic Development Committee published a booklet Thinking about Building which identifies for the client seven steps to success. requirements - the preparation of the brief. Only the client knows what he wants. The process of preparing and developing a brief, generally with the help of a principal adviser, provides him with the opportunity to set this down in a way which will most usefully assist those who are involved with the project. But more than this, an initial brief can be helpful in selecting advisers, and later developments of the brief can be valuable aids to other steps to success, such as the selection of a procurement path, choosing organizations to be employed and appraising sites. briefing and suggests ways in which the early stages of building projects might be set up and carried out to ensure that the outcome of the project will be satisfactory to the client. The ideas presented stem from research studies of the design process and from detailed discussions with practitioners - both clients and consultants, national and international. They are therefore relevant to all members (or potential members) of project teams. down in this booklet. This simply reflects the complexity of the building process and the importance to the overall success of the project of identifying all the relevant facts at the outset. Help can always be obtained from those employed as principal advisers, and further information is available in the form of client guides to the construction industry, details of which are given at the end of this booklet.
