520 _aGreen buildings are specifically designed to reduce the level of resources consumed, whether energy, raw materials or water. Using case studies of commercial and university buildings, examines how different approaches to green design can produce more sustainable patterns of development. The case studies are described by their designers and sometimes also by the client. Concludes that green buildings do pay for themselves in financial terms, and that green buildings lead to enhanced satisfaction by users which will boost productivity. This edition features chapters on green schools including: the importance of school buildings to learning; design guidance for schools and two case studies of best practice.
