520 _aProvides an overview of some of the issues helping and hindering the development of environmentally friendly architecture, as revealed by case studies of a number of practices. Whilst client knowledge of, and engagement with, sustainability is becoming more and more evident, many contractors and engineers are still reluctant to embrace the concept. Many practices have established a checklist or matrix which can be used at an early stage of a project to decide whether sustainable development is really feasible.
