Sustainable Construction

The book Sustainable Construction, 2nd Edition, examines the principles and techniques involved in designing and delivering practical, affordable, high-quality sustainable buildings and places. Sandy Halliday pairs foundational theory and historical ideas with practical implementation across built environments.

Coverage addresses policy, materials, appraisal tools, environmental design, water, and urban ecology. The volume explores these topics alongside 120 case studies from Europe and beyond that highlight best practice in sustainable construction.

Heavily illustrated in full color, the text serves as a primer for courses in architecture, construction, building engineering, environmental engineering, landscape, urbanism, and project management.
