Synopsis
This complete guide to the evaluation, selection, and use of sustainable materials in the landscape features strategies to minimize environmental and human health impacts of conventional site construction materials as well as green materials. Providing detailed current information on construction materials for sustainable sites, the book introduces tools, techniques, ideologies and resources for evaluating, sourcing, and specifying sustainable site materials. Chapters cover types of materials, both conventional and emerging green materials, environmental and human health impacts of the material, and detailed strategies to minimize these impacts. Case studies share cost and performance information and lessons learned., A complete guide to evaluating, selecting, and using sustainable construction materials Environmental and human health impacts of materials are a hidden cost of our built environment. While we can readily see the impact of destroying a wetland to build a mall, we arent always aware of the "invisible" effects on the environment as raw materials are harvested, and products manufactured and shipped from thousands of miles away from the site. Materials for Sustainable Sites guides architects, engineers, contractors, and landscape architects in making the right choices to minimize their projects environmental and human health impacts--whether the right answer is a new, green material or a conventional, tried-and-true material used in green ways. This book provides detailed and current information on construction materials for sustainable sites, including: General environmental and human health impacts of the materials and products industry Tools, techniques, ideologies, and resources for evaluating, sourcing, and specifying sustainable site materials Methods of specifying the nine basic types of conventional and emerging green site construction materials: concrete, earthen materials, brick masonry, asphalt pavement, aggregates and stone, wood, metals, plastics, and nonliving bio-based materials to minimize their impacts. Materials for Sustainable Sites prepares designers, engineers, and builders with the information they need to incorporate sustainable site design into every project., Materials for Sustainable Sites provides detailed current information on construction materials for sustainable sites. Part 1 of the book introduces tools, techniques, ideologies and resources for evaluating, sourcing and specifying sustainable site materials., Dieser umfassende Leitfaden zur Evaluierung, Auswahl und zum Einsatz nachhaltiger Materialien im Landschaftsbau bietet einen Überblick über Strategien, mit denen sich die Auswirkungen herkömmlicher Baumaterialien auf die Umwelt und die menschliche Gesundheit minimieren lassen, und stellt ökologische Alternativen vor. Neben detaillierten und aktuellen Informationen zu Baumaterialien für eine "grüne Bebauung" erhält der Leser eine Einführung in Werkzeuge, Techniken, Vorstellungen und Quellen für die Evaluierung, Beschaffung und Spezifikation nachhaltiger Baustoffe. In den jeweiligen Kapiteln werden sowohl herkömmliche als auch neue ökologische Materialien, Auswirkungen der einzelnen Baustoffe auf die Umwelt und die menschliche Gesundheit sowie Strategien zur Minimierung derartiger Belastungen beschrieben. Fallstudien geben Auskunft über Kosten und Leistungsmerkmale und dokumentieren die gesammelten praktischen Erfahrungen.

- h***z (1772)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseFantastic seller! Really took the time to make sure this item arrived in great shape. More DVD sellers should take note. Using a filmsy envelope will most likely have the item arrived dinged and dented. But this seller added extra bubble wrap and and cardboard. Thank you for that!
- d***d (8032)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGood eBay seller. No problems, fast shipping and extra packaging care. Item is as described and is a great value. Will buy from again. A+
- 1***l (278)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseItem was packaged nicely in a simple box, aside from the lack of packaging or bubble-wrap, it arrived as the seller has shown in the listing. Shipping was pretty fast, and I got a little worried it was going to come very late since USPS has been in a tizzy since late February, but I'm glad that is not the case. As a sucker for Great Courses material regarding the colonial period. This was a great find! Good seller nonetheless.Great Courses Before 1776 Life In The American Colonies Transcript Books New (#296985486447)
