Jerry Yudelson Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

The “green building revolution” is currently unfolding, and this book serves as both a chronicle and a manifesto of the movement. Authored by industry expert Jerry Yudelson, it introduces the fundamentals of green building alongside the projects and individuals driving this change. Through interviews and case studies, it not only reports on the revolution but also encourages readers to consider designing, building, and operating high-performance, environmentally conscious (LEED-certified) structures within conventional budgets. Over the past decade, the green building movement has gained momentum, uniting architects, engineers, builders, developers, government professionals, and consumers around principles of human-centered, environmentally sensitive development. Green buildings promote healthier indoor environments while significantly reducing energy and water consumption compared to traditional structures. Currently, the federal government, eighteen states, and nearly fifty U.S. cities mandate that new public buildings adhere to “green” standards, marking just the beginning of this shift. The book highlights various “revolutions” occurring across commercial buildings, schools, healthcare institutions, and more. Yudelson presents a compelling case for sustainability, illustrated with over 50 visuals, making this work a definitive account of a transformative movement.
