The latest addition to the Wiley Series in Sustainable Design, Green Building Materials is an excellent hands-on guide to today's wide range of green building materials-what they are, where to find them, and how to use them effectively. Written by two nationally known experts on green building methods and materials, Green Building Materials offers in-depth practical information on the product selection, product specification, and construction process. Organized by CSI MasterFormat(r) category for fast access to specific information, it features:

  • Important guidance on how to evaluate the "greenness" of building materials, including a section-by-section specification summary of environmental issues
  • Helpful sample forms to aid in selecting and specifying green materials
  • A brief history of relevant environmental legislation and the evolution of environmentally conscious design
  • An appendix listing useful sources of additional information. Green Building Materials is an essential tool for designing environmentally friendly buildings: ones made from materials that preserve the earth's natural legacy for future generations.
