Producing an energy efficient and environmentally friendly building can be a daunting task for the every day architect, who may only be commissioned infrequently to produce such a building. This book aims to remove the mystery and complexity from this process by helping the architect understand and put into practice the many issues involved in generating an energy efficient and environmentally friendly design.
