Opis: Guide to Green Building Rating Systems - Linda Reeder

Rating systems verifying and quantifying sustainable design were once an unrecoverable, unnecessary cost. Now, rating systems are a marketing tool to lower operating costs. Guide to Rating Green Buildings is the only guide to compare and contrast complex rating systems of green buildings. With case studies from different climates and building types, this book provides photos, a project description, and lessons learned by the design team, constructor, and client. This book is essential for owners, builders, construction managers, and design teams in selecting the appropriate rating system for their project. " Guide to Green Building Rating Systems offers a one-stop guide for choosing a green building rating system, reviewing major national ratig systems from a broad and in-depth perspective and discussing how these rating systems work differently for different types of buildings."
