Handbook of Sustainable Building: An Environmental Preference Method for Selection of Materials for Use in Construction and Refurbishment

Rating:
Summary: Priceless
Review: This is probably the most comprehensive book on design and materials selection. The Europeans have been forced to use these design practices due to shortage and expense of resourses. With the focus on this type of design having renewed interest in the States, this book helps to prevent designers from "reinventing" the wheel.

Only issue would be an updated version. In this field, a 5 year old book, while years ahead of design in America, is not quite the cutting edge.

Great reading and very thought envoking...I have paved my driveway with oyster shells....its great.
