Industry Reviews

"This book is an excellent primer for those in the construction industry who already have an interest in ecologically sustainable development and also for those who need to begin raising their awareness in this area. I particularly like the way each chapter is structured internally....I particularly appreciate the easy-to-understand language used; the concise approach to complex topics that focus on the essence of the concepts presented." Dr Jorge Vanegas, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
