Description

Green Building: An Engineering Approach to Sustainable Construction fills a void in green building which has good textbook options for practitioners, architects, and sustainability experts, but not an engineering focused textbook focused on green building. This new text takes an engineering approach to evaluating green building techniques, systems, and materials. The book examines the built environment from inside out, looking at minimizing environmental impacts while also considering the economics and energy use and efficiency. While not a test-prep book, it will provide the knowledge foundation that will help prepare the students to take the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design accreditation exam. As students are often unclear on the evolving employment prospects in this field, particularly for the engineer, the textbook also features six case studies showing different career pathways for engineers in this arena. Takes a quantitative and analytical engineering approach to evaluating green building techniques, systems, and materials Includes dedicated engineering examples and end-of-chapter problems that help develop students’ problem-solving and analytical skills Combines conceptual and calculational aspects that link to both big-picture issues (e.g., how many Hiroshima blasts per year is the radiative forcing equivalent to, along with everyday considerations like climate change real-life experiences (how much do I have to insulate my chicken coop to keep them warm passively in the winter) Links textbook coverage to ABET criteria for accreditation of engineering programs
