Best Practices in Sustainable Building Design is clearly structured into learning modules, allowing the reader to quickly grasp the various concepts of passive and active strategies influenced by building form, envelopes, structural system, technical control systems, and other elements. I congratulate the three authors on their marvelous achievement, publishing this work as both a book and an interactive DVD. -Steffen Lehmann, UNESCO Chair in Sustainable Urban Development for Asia and the Pacific, and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Green Building; This book is clearly organized and appropriately prioritizes the key issues in the design of sustainable buildings. The writing style is succinct, providing information in a minimum of text, and utilizes the graphics smoothly by providing links to the interactive software. Perhaps the real strength of the platform is the combination of book and software formats. This will be the direction of the future in architectural design and education. -Marc Schiler, Professor, School of Architecture, University of Southern California
