This extensive and user-friendly handbook presents practical guidelines for applying environmental strategies during the schematic design of green buildings. For each strategy, the book provides: brief descriptions of principles and concepts, step-by-step approaches for integrating technologies into the early stages of design, annotated tables and charts to assist with preliminary design sizing, key issues to be aware of when implementing a given strategy, and references to the most recent international standards and rating systems, guidelines, and internet resources. The text is reinforced with conceptual sketches and photos in full color, illustrating each strategy. A discussion of the green design process and case studies of several green building projects puts the strategies presented in context. It offers information required to implement green design ideas with confidence and accuracy; practical information provided in an easy-to-use format; and full colour images throughout.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49526073524497,"sku":"GOR004731814","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49609292677393,"sku":"GOR005321066","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50160331030801,"sku":"CIN0750680229VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52104864694545,"sku":"CIN0750680229G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0750680229.jpg?v=1750817535"},{"product_id":"green-studio-handbook-book-alison-g-kwok-9781138652293","title":"The Green Studio Handbook","description":"The Green Studio Handbook remains an essential resource for design studios and professional practice. This extensive and user-friendly tool presents practical guidelines for the application of green strategies during the schematic design of buildings. Students and professionals can quickly get up to speed on system viability and sizing. Each of forty-three environmental strategies includes a brief description of principles and concepts, step-by-step guidance for integrating the strategy during the early stages of design, annotated tables and charts to assist with preliminary sizing, key issues to consider when implementing the strategy, and pointers to further resources. Ten new in-depth case studies illustrate diverse and successful green buildings integrated design projects and how the whole process comes together This third edition features updated tables and charts that will help to save energy, water, and material resources during the early stages of design. More than 500 sketches and full-color images illustrate how to successfully apply strategies. A glossary, a project index listing 105 buildings in 20 countries, updated tables and drawings, and I-P and SI units increase the usefulness of The Green Studio Handbook.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49731645767953,"sku":"NGR9781138652293","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1138652296.jpg?v=1751400672"},{"product_id":"green-studio-handbook-book-alison-g-kwok-9781032584379","title":"The Green Studio Handbook","description":"Making the complexities of green architecture accessible to the design studio, The Green Studio Handbook remains a must-read for current and future architects.   The heart of this book provides 43 comprehensive design strategies covering the building envelope, lighting, heating, cooling, energy and electricity, and water and waste – each with a description, key architectural issues, implementation considerations, and a step-by-step design procedure for integration early in the design process. Each design strategy has been thoroughly reviewed and updated to reflect the latest evidence-based guidance, best practices, and standards in consideration of all climatic zones.  In addition to more than 80 building examples provided throughout, ten in-depth case studies illustrate successful integration of numerous strategies.  All case studies are brand-new to this fourth edition and include a wide range of building types, from the USA, Colombia, Rwanda, Malaysia, Denmark, Bhutan, Canada, and Australia.  Envelope design strategies have been significantly revised and expanded to include new strategies on:    Foundation systems for the reduction of embodied carbon Framing systems using mass-timber, bamboo, and other natural material-based systems Low-complexity wall systems using \"natural\" elements such as earth, lime, straw, and hemp High-complexity wall systems for enhanced thermal performance and strength Additional roofing systems beyond green roofs","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51201895268625,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51201896022289,"sku":"NGR9781032584379","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032584378.jpg?v=1750790512"},{"product_id":"green-studio-handbook-book-alison-g-kwok-9781032584362","title":"The Green Studio Handbook","description":"Making the complexities of green architecture accessible to the design studio, The Green Studio Handbook remains a must-read for current and future architects.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51201940226321,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51201940914449,"sku":"NGR9781032584362","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/103258436X.jpg?v=1751111954"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-alison-g-kwok.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
