Sustainable Architecture – European Directives and Building Design

Architectural Press

This is the book that explains to the building industry why construction really needs rethinking. It is ideal for all those efficiency-oriented Eganites who want to work out what the next agenda is, and where the carrots and sticks are going to come from. All the same, it is highly irresponsible of the captains of industry to wait to be spoon-fed information of this importance by publications. Why not anticipate the need for more sustainable development and make it happen sooner?
