OverviewThis title deals with sustainability standards and procedures in residential architecture. Integrating the entire spectrum of sustainability into the process of design and planning is the most important question in architectural debates today. This book presents in structured fashion the different goals and aspects of sustainability and the internationally valid parameters for standardization and evaluation. It surveys the various contexts and works out practical procedures. In the section of examples, twenty outstanding international residential buildings of all sizes and typologies are presented, showing how the design qualities influence how the building is experienced. This panorama of sustainability provides architects and engineers with inspiration and assistance to achieve sustainability goals in their daily work, but it is equally interesting to developers and investors who are involved in decision making and the building process.
