Full Description
In
his seminal new book, Bill Dunster demonstrates that zero-carbon, zero-waste
design doesn't have to come with a hefty price tag, and is achievable today.
This book presents a range of tools that form key ingredients in a low carbon
society. Focusing on technologies that are already in use, ZEDlife
explores both small-scale ideas (such as shelters and lighting) and large-scale
solutions in buildings and across cities. An essential resource for both
students and practitioners, ZEDlife offers an interdisciplinary approach
to sustainability, making connections to a web of technologies through
full-colour case studies of new build and retrofit projects from across the
globe.
The
argument for low-cost, zero-energy, zero-waste architecture has never been
timelier. This book offers a forceful challenge to the status quo and provides
workable, sustainable solutions for zero-carbon, zero-waste design.
