Greening Existing Buildings
Greening existing buildings is the next big green building trend.
If
we are ever to meet our carbon reduction goals, we have to dramatically
improve the existing building stock. Jerry's new book, "
Greening Existing Buildings"
(McGraw-Hill, 2009) recaps how to work a project through the LEED for
Existing Buildings Operations & Maintenance (LEED-EBOM) rating
system.
LEED-EBOM has been the fastest growing LEED rating system this year.
"Greening
Existing Buildings" has already been named one of top 10 architecture
books of 2009 in a national newsletter. You can find out why thousands
of buildings are now pursuing this LEED rating by ordering this book
now or by downloading free chapters.
In
Greening Existing Buildings, Jerry tackles the question of
the day: how to upgrade the performance of the large stock of existing
buildings, to meet the latest green building standards. This
authoritative book analyzes all of the LEED for Existing Buildings
Platinum projects, features more than 25 interviews with leading
practitioners, more than 20 specific building upgrade case studies and
numerous tables, charts and illustrations. It's truly a "how to" book
for greening anyone's building. The book will be available in October
2009.
