What Customers Say About Sustainable Construction: Green Building Design and Delivery:

it was a ok price but the shippment was to late and i almost dropped my class for the same reason. but its in a good condition.

thanks, this is a great book. It taught me a lot about green building and construction and it got me an A in my class.

It's no light reading, but for someone new to sustainability and/or sustainable construction this book provides a well rounded and balanced discussion of the topics.

This is a very useful book. I will recommend this book to the students and the professional for their reference.

This is a textbook required for my green design 2 class. It provides a huge amount of statistics and green construction methods. Compared to other books about sustainable construction, this one seems much more informative and looks at the real issues behind WHY we should be using sustainable construction.
