Through a series of real, time-tested green construction case studies, the book seeks to clearly and concisely illustrate the concepts, strategies, and procedures of green building. It also explores the relationship between green building and sustainable development. The book employs an easygoing writing style to logically connect various aspects and dimensions of knowledge and concepts, including intelligent systems that are fast-growing, passive climate-responsive design, the social and economic benefits of green buildings, and the green building assessment system. It allows readers to reconsider the wholeness of architecture, people, and the environment.
