Being
SUSTAINABLE
This book details the mechanics of sustainability and the challenge
of integrating building systems to maximize their efficiency. The point
of the book is to help readers understand the challenges designers and
constructors face putting a building together as a single, fully integrated,
and sustainable collection of building systems. To
meet this objective the book uses a graphic narrative style. The narrative
follows the sequence of system installations, each in support of the other,
but all crowded into the same space. The players in this narrative are
the engineers who size and specify each of these systems, as well as the
subcontractors who must coordinate, compromise, and assemble them in the
real world.

Building
SIMPLE
This book uses the same graphic style found in all our construction
books to illustrate the construction of a mid-rise office building. This
is a great book for those who need or want to see and understand every
step of the construction of a commercial building. It uses 3D SketchUp
construction models to organize and detail the construction methods used
to build this building, including layout, excavation, foundations, framing,
and the exterior shell. Construction models can be used to manage risk,
reduce waste, and enhance jobsite safety. Building SIMPLE helps readers
understand how to use construction models in support of the "art
of construction," an invisible process embedded in all the structures
in our built environment. More information...
