Sustainable Construction: Green Building Design and Delivery, 5th Edition, is a textbook by Charles J. Kibert exploring the design, construction, and operation of high-performance green buildings.
The volume covers core areas including ecological design, building systems, materials selection, and energy efficiency. Kibert also addresses hydrologic cycles in the built environment, indoor environmental quality, built-environment carbon footprints, commissioning, and construction resilience.
Designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in architecture, architectural technology, civil engineering, and construction management, the textbook also supports industry professionals, building owners, and individuals preparing for the LEED Green Associate examination.
