520 _aBuildings consume about a quarter of all energy produced, causing degradation of the environment, erosion, and water pollution through the excessive use of toxic materials. Fortunately there are countless ways in which buildings can be designed to mitigate these negative impacts. Organized into chapters such as Heating and Cooling and Sustainable Materials, Eco-Architecture shows the way to more ecologically sound construction practices. Featuring one thousand ideas and tips from one hundred of the world's leading "green" architects, this book is an invaluable source of information and insight into this key subject and offers a generous photographic display of environmentally friendly designs with plans and original drawings.
