Eco-design of high-rise buildings: a search for alternative low-cost and low energy design to current high-tech approaches - 2000 - Building Engineer 75(11) December 2000, 16-21(6) .
Examines the approach towards making tower blocks, especially those erected in the 1960s, more ecologically-friendly improving operational efficiency and optimising their long-term durability. A high-tech approach is proving too expensive so the article investigates and assesses some of the problems and obstacles related to using alternatives of low-cost and low-energy design components. The paper hopes to highlight issues for further discussions among built environment practitioners.
