Sustainable construction
Series: Building Engineer ; 77 November 2002, 14-15(2)Publication details: 2002Subject(s): Summary: Discusses the issue of sustainable construction in the context of an increasing world population and decreasing natural resources. Notes the publication of "Insulation for Sustainability - A guide" which encourages the use of efficient technology. This mentions building insulation which is a key element in energy efficiency and conservation. The crucial element about the material used here is that it needs to last a long time at a high level of performance. A European programme of building efficiency could arguably bring about reductions of between 430 and 452 mil/t of C02 per year according to a study published by EuroACE.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
